Reminds me of the time I was watching Points of View and the BBC Breakfast show was doing a week long series of programmes based in different towns and cities across the UK.
This appeared to infuriate one viewer who wrote in to complain "why are the BBC doing a week long programme in Bradford, I don't live anywhere near Bradford". Not quite sure why Points of View gave it airtime, perhaps they had struggled with letters that week!

Two shows I don't watch. Perhaps the complaints should be directed at the lack of decent television these days. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-54273352

I see the Diversity BLM dance has now attracted over 18k complaints, but we are not racist in this country, alright!

19 weeks seem a bit harsh.

So you think all those who complained are racist?

I can see literally no other reason why someone would decide to take the time and energy to go to the effort of doing so, albeit I may be missing the need for much of the British population to be perpetually outraged about something? Been interesting to see the breakdown between complaints which were revived when it was broadcast (c.1k, which is frankly embarrassing and bad enough ) and those which were lodged after the papers were outraged (c.17k).

So if most of the complaints are saying they thought it inappropriate for a family show, where does that sit?
I agree with you, I don't understand who could be arsed to complain, best thing to do is not bother watching if it upsets you that much.

I could make a comment about a Pearl Necklace, but that would be inappropriate...

Pubs in England shut at 10pm. Pubs in Wales can serve until 10pm, and tack on drinking up time.

Are you moving to Merthyr Batch? Hell no. I lived in a shared house with a girl from Merthyr for 2 years. She always said even the rotwielers go round in twos.
