It's probably one of the least censored programmes on the BBC

The fact that there ARE censored programs already makes my blood boil...

At least they are "Self-Censored" rather than censored by an outside source - e.g. The Government. Generally Beeb Programs are "censored" mainly for reasons of Taste/decency as far as I can see.

Yeah, I know, I was just letting off some steam...
For example, they warn kindly for the "strong language" before letting Paul Whitehouse do his thing in "Happiness", and it's allright like that: people who are easily offende just shouldn't watch.
That would be like agreeing to being interviewed by Ali G (not Beeb, I know) and then being surprised he's pulling your leg (to put it VERY mildly)...

But surely I saw Ali G on the BEEB with Posh and Becks? And he was pretty lewd in his comments to them

He was great! Becks didn't say a thing (funnily, in this case that was the best thing he could do), and I don't know if Posh grasped what was happening...

Or like the Bee Gees agreeing to be interviewed by Clive Anderson without watching the show tapes first, perhaps?

And talking about "lewd": showing naked Scotsmen is almost perverted!

I think she had worked it out by the end:
Ali: Has your little boy started to speak yet?
Posh: Yeah, he's started to put sentances together.
Ali: And what about Brooklyn?

I also loved it when he visited the FBI: those Americans had NO idea what was happening.
FBI director: "Let's say we have a truck with stolen TV's"
Ali: "Are you sure you want to talk about this on camera?"
(maybe not the exact words...)

It just struck me that old auntie Beeb must be another follower of Vladimir Iljitj Uljanov, better known as Lenin, who said "Confidence is good, control is better". A lot of people around the world seem to believe in that actually.

Well ......
Before they come for me, may I join your ranks?
I'm not fussy about having a brand new uniform, I'll gladly accept Peta's beret, if it's not already gone to Oxfam.
