Well a Radio 3 producer has resigned due to the BBC’s decision to broadcast Jerry Springer the Opera. He cites blasphamy as his reeson. He also says
“One of the arguments used before the broadcast was that the stage show had not been attacked for blasphemy.
“My answer, after watching the show, is that anyone likely to pursue a case for blasphemy would not have remained in the theatre long enough to witness it.”
And of course that naturally doesn’t apply to TV does it. I myself find it very difficult to change the channel using the gigantic, monsterous, cumbersome piece of plastic that is a remote control. Obviously that’s the only reason I watched such ‘deviant’ behaviour.
I admit there might be a few arguments for the ‘well it shouldn’t have been shown on TV’ despite it’s run in the West End, but not being able to stop watching it shouldn’t be one of them
He apparently worked on a program called ‘Between the Ears’ – make up your own punchline.
