week. Based on Frankie Boyles impression of the queen saying that she's so old her pussy is haunted. Just been on the BBC news.
Now this was aired bloody ages ago. I really do despise the NIMBYism that is pervasive throughout the British society. I'm beginning to wonder whether there is a whole sector of society trawling the papers, television, and the internet desperately searching for something to be offended at.
Tossers the lot of them. If they had their way we'd all be watching endless repeats of last of the summer wine and keeping up appearances.

Pathetic.
Programs like mock the week are meant to be on the edge or its just a day time chat show. If you cant take some offensive jokes the sod off.

The BBC said:
The BBC said it had received four complaints about the show, which was recorded 18 months ago and repeated on Wednesday.
In a statement last night, the BBC said: "Mock the Week is a well-established satirical comedy series whose audience have very clear expectations of its bold and sometimes provocative humour."
Interviewed on Newsnight, Thompson, said that millions of viewers and listeners enjoyed the "edginess" of comedy programmes, but admitted that the humour "sometimes gets close to the wind."
Pressed about the Mock the Week comment, he replied: "I would only want to judge any remark in any programme in the context of the programme, watching the programme."
