    Fresh BBC race row as Jamaica's foreign minister complains over Famalam sketch | Daily Mail Online

    Fresh BBC race row as Jamaica's foreign minister complains over Famalam sketch showing Caribbean men leering at women and high on cannabis on Countdown

    • Kamina Johnson-Smith branded the BBC Three show 'outrageous and offensive'
    • The episode sees a male host stare at female character and pretend to have sex
    • It also features a panellist high on marijuana, who forgets an answer to question
    • The BBC is already under fire over lyrics in two songs in Last Night of the Proms
    Apparently offensive, they need to watch more Father Ted.

          Even my regular-Mass-going-West-of-Ireland-elderly-in-laws secretly like Father Ted.

            Yeah - cringed when I saw that - didn't even have the redeeming feature of being funny.

            Especially unfortunate in the light of this channel 4 initiative, where Countdown will be presented by black presenters

            Channel 4 to hold 'black takeover' day - BBC News

              The C4 thing reeks of virtue signalling / tokenism. The timing to coincide with the death of George Floyd makes it worse.

              What's wrong with simply making real changes that last rather than a single day?

                It triggers people who witter on about "virtue signalling", so that's a good thing.

                  Precisely , this had the potential to be really funny but it failed.

                    Are we supposed to be offended by the Kumars 'Going for an English' sketch then. Hope not. I thought it was funny as fook.
