The previous post is, shock horror!, 'fake news'.
Well, as far as I'm aware anyhow - though I wouldn't put any of it past the BBC.
It was prompted by Rod Liddle's latest Spectator piece about the BBC's adaptation of Watership Down, which says the following:
I’ve just watched the four-part animated series of Watership Down, shown on the BBC, with my daughter. She was slightly more aghast than me to discover that the aforementioned Bigwig was a bruv from the ’hood. And still more repelled by the elevation of a minor female rabbit character into a doughty campaigner for justice, the transgendering of a rabbit called Strawberry, and, most hilariously, the does calling each other ‘sister’ and keening a song of freedom in an orgy of #MeToo victimhood — their importance to the book she too had loved vastly exaggerated for fatuous political reasons
That all sounds very BBC.
And it follows in the wake of a dramatisation of Agatha Christie’s The ABC Murders which its writer declared to be a parable on 1930s xenophobia and fascism in the UK with relevance to Brexit Britain, and a Les Miserables that even its star felt was ahistorical in the 'diversity' of its casting.
Ah but, but don't forget impartial, left-leaning BBC Trending editor Mike Wendling...
Yes, BBC drama may have a massive, massive bias towards his way of thinking, despite all that 'BBC impartiality' thing, but aren't people like us 'snowflakes' for objecting?
(Answer: No).
