That big brother Roxanne pallet one deserves more of a watch because she the context isn’t really made clear in the video. She basically accused Ryan Thomas of abusing her, turned the whole house against him, tried to suggest he was aggressive and violent and would have ruined his entire career if it wasn’t caught on camera, the clip you watched didn’t even really show Ryan Thomas at all or much context. But she fully lied repeatedly to throw him under the bus. She wasn’t allowed an exit interview either as people absolutely hated her, it had to be prerecorded and shown separately with no audience, the host Emma Willis really laid into her telling her how she could have ruined Ryan’s life, when the interview was over Emma just got up and left as not even the host could stomach Roxanne’s bull crap and fake tears. I don’t think Roxanne has ever worked again
Spot on mate. Vindictive lying cow. Apparently it's not the first time she's accused a man of something similar. Poor Ryan was so broken hearted in the diary room. Least hes still got a career. Stupid bint. ❤
The Jade Goody debacle was serious. They were burning effigies of Jade in India. It all centred around Jade being caught in conversation with Danielle Lloyd calling Shilpa, "Shilpa popadom or whatever her name is." and also her dyslexic mother not being able to remember Shilpa's name. Jade became a pariah. She tried to resurrect her career two years later by going on Indian Big Brother but she was soon called to the diary room and told madical test results in Britain had shown she had cervical cancer and had to return home immediately for treatment. Jade's TV documented cancer journey turned the public around and prompted more women to get cervical smear tests than ever before surely saving lives. Soon after marrying her fiancé Jade died on Mother's Day. Her son Freddie stars in Eastenders, one of our prime time soaps, and this autumn will be one of the contestants on Strictly Come Dancing !

Having lived in Britain all my life I can say our TV is very different to what I grew up with. It used to be very civil and polite. We have become more like America now with the outspoken drama
I can tell you about the care home situation. Well, I can give you an example as it happened to me and my family. Our dad was sent to hospital after having a fall (he'd had a few strokes and was diabetic) the hospital, without asking us, sent him to a care home to get physiotherapy. He caught covid and died while in the care home.. We should have pulled him out, but we were informed he could not walk very well so we thought we'd let them help. It's the fact that, the hospital didn't tell us they were moving him, they just did it. And covid was rife in care homes for some reason, we didn't know that until it was too late. ALOT of people lost loved ones that way, and are still fighting to be heard.
The Strictly Come Dancing episode was based on an Australian movie called Priscilla: Queen of the Desert, which was a HUGE hit in Australia. Starring Aussie and English actors such as Terence Stamp and Aussies Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving who went on to have been in huge international movies...
Oh maan! I love that movie.... Terence Stamp being shown the small jar and being told it's story "What are you telling me..? I'm looking at ABBA poo...? Priceless :D
Woodburn the definition of iconic not. Icon is a venerated religious image. Nowhere does Woodburn fit that definition. If icon was a very stupid, not to say bitter, woman whose line is running people down, then you might be somewhere near the truth.
In such a huge country like the UK, a few hundred complaints about a same sex dance is not an outrage, is the media blowing things up ,deliberately I may add. The 'drag queen' show is a segment of the musical show Priscilla, and again a few hundred complaints is not listed as 'an outrage'. The real outrage is the last segment, and I suggest you find more about that, because its really important to see how things like this can cause outrage, and when the cameras were not there, a guy's reputation and life would be over.
Joel, I totally agree, if something offends, don't watch it just switch it off. Most of these programs are just utter garbage anyway and should never have seen the light of day.
The crazy person who accused Ryan Thomas of hitting her when he didn't was disgusting to see, in real time watching on TV we had to watch that poor man suffer as everyone in the house initially belived her, Ryan thought his life and his career was over. It highlighted how some women lie about assault and it was so lucky that the cameras were there. The British people were disgusted by her and it was good he won. But watching him suffer and cry and not be able to be told everyone knows he didn't do it was torture. Thankfully as each housemate was evicted they were shown the footage for themselves and we're shocked by how much she had lied
When anyone says 'its inclusive' dont believe them. The Edinburgh Fringe recently cancelled the guy who wrote 'Father Ted'. They said they wanted to be inclusive, presumably apart from those they exclude.
Ghostwatch was one of the best dramas the BBC had ever done It was billed as a live documentary that went out on Halloween 1992 with full "Radio Times" coverage and hosts well respected in the TV industry and fronted by Parky himself everyone took it as a live documentary,,, But the public read it like Orson Wells radio version of War of The Worlds... It was the first mockumentary drama that got the nation hooked and to some terrified !
omg i really thought it was from the 80s? still scared me shitless and i grew up watching horror films.. the fact everyone thought it was real was where the fear came from
The BBC got into deep trouble with the BBC board at the time for how Ghostwatch was made and broadcast in October 1992, I was 20 when it was shown and I thought it was real, and parts shit me up too, but it was shown under the Screen One branding on BBC1 which was used solely for single drama productions of high quality during the early 1990s, I don’t think BBC has made anything like this since!
8:33 UK was the country that had ‘Till Death Us Do Part’ which was a family grappling with all sorts of political issues. Kind of ironic how political statements in art are not ‘family friendly’. Even if you have sanitised content, it is still political.

Quite often, these 'outrage' complaints are levelled at the BBC. We all pay for what gets broadcast on that, whether we want to, or not, through the TV licence fee, and I think that therefore carries over into other channels too. If you can be outraged at the BBC, which has strict watershed and family content rules, then people expect it from ALL channels to follow the rules, particularly when it ends up being shown before the 9pm watershed. Because that applies to all channels anyway.
I ranted but never said thank you Joel for yet another impressive reaction video, I'll always admire your honesty when doing these reactions, for that I'll stay subscribed.
Diversity's BRILLIANT dance routine told it like it is; the conservative (republican) right wing hate any truth that disagrees with their view of the world! We can only hope that in the end the truth will become evident and the haters will go down.
Morning Joel, you're looking cool and keen this morning, have they fixed the air con? I still remember you and Will at Stanstead saying "100° is normal to us!"
Calvin Robinson who's shown in the dance clip is a shock troll who now cosplays an ordained minister of some kind. One of those ministries that you can get from collecting tokens from cereal boxes I think, but he's still given air time from networks that should know better.
Piers Morgan is an a*se, but his anger with the Government over the Care Homes debacle is the one time I've found myself in agreement with him. The routines on Strictly Com Dancing were wholly appropriate for early evening family viewing- just some people have very fixed views. The Drag Queen number wasn't in any way 'explicit' it was just dancers in costume and makeup.....like every dance! Celebrity Big Brother...... well, enough said.... The Ghostwatch Live may have been scripted darama- but it wasn't billed as such, and used TV presenters who normally dealt with factual content....so it was unexpectdly scary.
Also ghostwatch was from the 80s before the internet and social media.. i was around 7 at the time and my older sister was 12... we were scared shitless... i watched it again a few years ago and it was laughable.. different times man. I don't mean it in a bad way but sometimes i think you younger generation who grew up with an ipad and social media dont truly understand or can truly appreciate how different times were as little ago as the mid 90s before we saw the world daily on a phone screen and all we knew was 4 channels and a radio :)
The ridiculous thing about the drag complaints is that the British pantomime which is a tradition spanning hundreds of years and are plays specifically for children always include a drag queen lol it's not a pantomime if it doesnt have a man playing a woman
@@jgreen2015 I think the point is, there is a wealth of difference between panto dame which is tailored for children and isn't sexualized in any way and a 'drag queen' in a sexy outfit gyrating against something or other. Not all men dressed as women have the same agenda.
@@LittleMissPyeWacket how is dancing on strictly sexual though? There was no nudity. No obscene dance moves. It's just that they were men in drag lol it was no more sexual than the women dancing
@@jgreen2015 I agree with you in that clip I didn't see anything sexualized. I don't watch the show so can't make a full comment on it. My point was there is a real distinction to be made between Dame Edna Everage dotty type aunt figure and a drag queen on RuPaul's Drag Race whose aim is to be a parody of a woman being erotic and sexy.
Bottom line is that the British LOVE to complain. The only person I find objectionable is Jeremy Clarkson. But I have never complained about him. I just do not watch anything he appears on. I tend to have the same views as you Joel.
I'm 100% with you on the drag and same sex dance partner thing. How sad people's lives must be if things like that bother them, especially enough to actually make a complaint 😂 Pathetic
... guessing religion is in the mix ... closed minded 'parents' have a lot of learning - films like Love,Simon should be mandatory showing in schools for 14 year olds+ in social studies. if parents complain "ok, take your kid out of this school... but btw, the next school will be doing the same -best start saving for a private tutor"
The complaints made about TV shows are usually made by closed-minded people with too much time on their hands. I have to laugh at Kim Woodburn playing the victim since she was the one who started most of the arguments whilst on Celebrity Big Brother. She was horrible to the younger women. As for Roxanne, she accused poor Ryan of hitting her when he didn't touch her. She blew it up to be something really damaging to his reputation but thankfully, the public didn't fall for it and she had a lot to answer for when she left the house.
I saw the Jeremy Clarkson incident. He started off by making extreme remarks in support of the strikers, then "for the sake of balance" made equally extreme remarks against them. But 90% of the time only the latter are shown. Taken out of context like that the complaints would be justified but in context they were not.
I think a majority of the complaints were from ppl with nothing better to do than to sit like a ‘Karen’ and write letters of complaints to tv companies. Diversity routine was amazing. The Strictly routines were also amazing and complained upon from ppl still stuck in the dark ages.
The majority of these complaints come from 60 plus year olds stuck in their ways with nothing better to do, drag performers have been around since Shakespearean times when men would play women and women would play men, it’s always been even in pantomimes, if they thought that was offensive they’d have a seizure watching rupauls drag race 😂 also Kim woodburn is an icon love her she’s hilarious and your right your born gay, watching two men or women dance together isn’t going to make their kids gay it’s gonna make them accept that’s life
No. In Shakespearean time men played men and women, but women were not actors. I am over 60 and remember being taken my parents to watch Danny La Rue in panto.
You seem to be well informed and balanced for your age, how old were you when you were aware of these choices that people make. You obviously have made some intelligent decisions along the way.
For a little extra context, there is a grand tradition in the UK of 'writing in' and complaining about TV; there used to be a short programme on the BBC called 'Points of View', which consisted of people writing in to give their opinions about BBC TV programmes - often giving praise for good series, but most of the time they were complaints! People would write in, and instead of the presenter reading the letters (later emails), they would put the text on the screen and have actors do dramatic readings of the letters in their best angry/disgruntled voices! To give you an idea of how deeply rooted this tradition is, watch this clip from 1985 from the 2:00 minute mark, following which you will hear peoples' opinons on a new BBC programme calld "Monkey Business": th-cam.com/video/PQgPgi0n9rY/w-d-xo.html
... today the BBC has a short prog called (I think) Write of Reply, or something. Ive only caught a couple, total BS, the BBC Manager/Director/Film Maker they put up to defend the programme ALWAYS says the list of complaints are wrong, and the BBC is perfect.
I remember watching this too. I have to confess I felt sorry for Jady ( RIP) , i don't think she thought she was being racist or had intent to be. She had a terrible time afterwards being vilified. She went into to do Indian version of big brother afterwards.
I'm sure the majority were accepting of the same sex couples dancing , you will always get those that want to complain or are the lets say more religious types or people who think children shouldn't watch two people dancing together which is all it was . BLM movement are not as squeaky clean as people think but again it's just a dance routine at the end of the day .
The same sex dancing on Strictly? I think it was the rumba made me cry it was so amazing. Complaints about drag? We have such a long history of theatrical drag in the UK I can only assume the complainers have no idea about UK history. Jeremy Clarkson? An attention seeker, best ignored. The Diversity BLM dance? I'm a white person and didn't feel discriminated against. I also think it's probably important to inform children of the dangers of discrimination, presented in a format they can understand easily.
I am nearly 36 years old now, born in '87, and when I grew up in the '90s we all watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert and To Wong Foo. Two of the biggest stars on TV were Lily Savage and Dame Edna Everage just to name a couple. It really is just a case of busybodies with nothing better to do than phone ofcom As far as the rest, I can't stick Colleen Nolan. I have always stuck by Kim Woodburn. Also, that Roxanne Pallet deserves all she gets after her lies about Ryan
It's not the fact that a drag routine and two same sex dancers were performing, it's the fact that the performances were promiscuous and highly sexualized to be screened before the watershed when kids could be watching.
@@kn3448 so was the dancing on TOTPs that went out wayyy before the watershed, and repeated for years as totp 2, lets be real here, it was about them being same sex. Where are the complaints every time Dirty dancing inevitably airs?
In the dance show, the dance gay couple was so good to change their roles, and I say this is the show is a dance challenge. Yes, kids watch it's I just think some people overreact and besides Craig love dress up for special dance
@@marionpetford7374he’s moved into a new apartment - hence no GB flag decor etc….he hasn’t said WHY he has moved but it’s prob as it’s his new term at college etc..
It's funny what people complain to ofcom about. I remember some years ago there was a contestant called Anthony on Big Brother, a young, handsome fella, he got really wasted one night and his gay housemate, Craig, creepily hassled him for hours under the guise of taking care of him. Anthony was so drunk and vulnerable that he started to cry for his mother. It was pretty messed up but I don't recall people complaining about that.
I've been waiting for the last piece, and have finally sent a package to you. Talk about bad timing, you'll have to make a decision. Whatever you decide, I'll have a laugh!
All the shit i've seen on UK Tv over the 50 years i've never felt the need to complain , although i do see why some of these have done so . Even though here in the UK celebrities swear and nudity is permitted there is an understand it's all shown after 9pm when small kids are in their beds , so subjects about sexuality , racism & violent behaviour are generally taboo during the day .
It's worth noting that the drag show got 100 complaints, I think you know how easy it is to elicit that number in these days of electronic communication.
I feel like people complained about shows like strictly come dancing, not necessarily because of what happened more because a lot of people hate the bbc
Its a question of sensitivity joel, the care home one a fact of leaving old people in crisis, and a govt that didnt seem to care, others hatred of one another, and mostly other insensitive remarks as a whole or stances soaps and all fiction but there is a limit at 7pm what kids can watch, a lot of these went out before 9pm hence risky.
I watched both of those shows, Strictly and BGT and to me they were just very entertaining dance routines. I didn't think of it as political. On another note Joel, I guess that you have had the aircon fixed in your apartment now, as you are wearing a shirt haha.Keep doing what you're doing Joel. Lyd x
Yes you do need context but that would take hours. The Angry of Mayfair sketch by Kenny Everatte sums it up in a heart beat. Many viewers forget the off option but will complain about everything. I recommend you find the clip of Julie Clary presenting an award, his comments almost ruined him, but to the more liberal mind were funny. Search Norman Lamont, Julien Clary. Polititions never answer a question it's part of the job.
Clarkson is an intelligent guy, he knows how to play the media, he knows what will 'sell'. On The One Show, he gave a good amount of support to the strikes, even if only in jest, then added "..but this is the BBC and so we must be balanced..." before jumping into the often quoted sentences that everyone in the UK knows about. It should also be noted that although there were a total of 21k complaints in the end, the number before the media picked it up, stripped it back, and ran with it, was something like...... six.... Although granted, that may have been the total viewership at the time.
'Family show'.....this isn't the 60s/70s!.....families don't sit down to watch telly anymore, plus the media get their knickers in a twist, if they get 6 complaints!
The oddest thing is the Chris Morris one. In light of what he did afterwards - Blue Jam radio show and its TV counterpart, Jam make Brass Eye look positively tame and they didn't get half the furore
Most of the complaints are usually from Conservative or Christian groups. They are actually relatively small in number and don't represent the British public, hence the Ofcom judgements.
I got sick of the shi* on TV and turned it off 3 years ago and never turned it back on. I caught a few minutes of TV at my daughters house and it was the same shi* being shown as it was when I stopped watching it.
I agree that in the world of sane people none of this amounts to much, but this is television, and people there inhabit a never land. Incidentally I may have missed something but aren't you in a different room? Nosy, moi?
I can see how much American TV has influenced British TV. I felt like I was actually watching American TV 🤣🤣🤣"Family" show is slang for ultra-conservative right-wing christian fundamentalist-show".
That baby swap story on Eastenders was GRIM AS HELL, I eventually gave up watching all of the daytime soaps and I remember thinking back to that storyline and it was one of the reasons I quit 🤮
What you have failed to notice is that that drag queen dance took part in 1999. A time when the developed world still didn't see being gays and trans as being normal. If this was to happy today I can guarantee that there'd be at least 90% last complaints in comparison. As for the black lives matter one. Very young people watch the show and so it really should have been shown later on in the day at the very least. Besides, my mum has worked at many different care homes over the years and she has whitnessed several trying to fake the race card of other white staff members just to avoid getting into trouble as they know that would most likely work and that they would be able to get away with it. There was one time when that didn't work but it just goes to show that black people themselves arn't always as innocent themselves. Either way, as long as black and white people are (both) able to get along with each other that's what matters most.
The Brass Eye segment makes me think of The League of Gentlemen output we've been watching with you on Patreon. Find a level of distaste and then just bulldoze through it.
I don’t actually think this video shows the “most outrageous”, rather it is a collection of most complained against. Some of those complaints probably came from people who hadn’t actually watched the show, but were encouraged by others to complain. Christian groups often complain about anything they think isn’t “family friendly”. You’d probably be amused by a recent TV interview with a Trump supporter on one of our major daily news programmes. The interviewee was outraged when asked if a Trump indictment would lead to violence, accusing the news reporter of “propaganda”. The reporter shot back, “No I don’t do propaganda. That’s your job. I’m a news reporter and I just ask questions”.
Joe....... I totally agree with ur whole point but you have got to have an open mind and yes there is a time in the evening when you can show these type of programs where kids are not meant to be able watching TV after 20.00hrs I think ...
I remember that 'Loose Women' incident with Kim. First, Loose Women is a live programme that brands itself similar to a show you have called The View but less political. Mainly due to the head of ITV being 'Woke'. Kim Woodburn appeared in the Celebrity Big Brother house and appeared to be antagonistic and rude from the moment she entered. (Her appearance on the show for me was brilliantly funny... Although some do not like her!) She appeared as a guest in the clip to confront Colleen Nolan (who appeared in it with her) and make peace. It seemed that Kim was looking for trouble although some people believe she was picked on during the interview. It led to her storming off in a massive row live on air in front of the studio audience. You would want to watch her CBB series fights (you can find a compilation of it on YT to get an idea!) Anyway, much controversy on British TV has happened since with the likes of Philip Scofild and Jeremy Clarkson. I'm also surprised the Jeremy Kyle incident wasn't included in the list too!
You are spot on. There is a demarcation line between early evening shows and shows the whole family watch together. Political statements like that shouldnt be in a family show. After 9pm anything goes.
That big brother Roxanne pallet one deserves more of a watch because she the context isn’t really made clear in the video. She basically accused Ryan Thomas of abusing her, turned the whole house against him, tried to suggest he was aggressive and violent and would have ruined his entire career if it wasn’t caught on camera, the clip you watched didn’t even really show Ryan Thomas at all or much context. But she fully lied repeatedly to throw him under the bus.
She wasn’t allowed an exit interview either as people absolutely hated her, it had to be prerecorded and shown separately with no audience, the host Emma Willis really laid into her telling her how she could have ruined Ryan’s life, when the interview was over Emma just got up and left as not even the host could stomach Roxanne’s bull crap and fake tears. I don’t think Roxanne has ever worked again

Joel I agree with you if there is anything I don’t like about a program I turn it off All the best from Uk 🇬🇧
Why are you spelling programme like an American?
Almost every WatchMojo top 10 is a waste of 10 minutes of a person's life.
The complaints get dropped because it's basically the tv channels investigating themselves.
Offcom is an independent regulatory body.
Quite often, these 'outrage' complaints are levelled at the BBC. We all pay for what gets broadcast on that, whether we want to, or not, through the TV licence fee, and I think that therefore carries over into other channels too. If you can be outraged at the BBC, which has strict watershed and family content rules, then people expect it from ALL channels to follow the rules, particularly when it ends up being shown before the 9pm watershed. Because that applies to all channels anyway.
.. and then the 'innocent' kids get on their smart phone and watch porn
I ranted but never said thank you Joel for yet another impressive reaction video, I'll always admire your honesty when doing these reactions, for that I'll stay subscribed.
Diversity's BRILLIANT dance routine told it like it is; the conservative (republican) right wing hate any truth that disagrees with their view of the world! We can only hope that in the end the truth will become evident and the haters will go down.
Morning Joel, you're looking cool and keen this morning, have they fixed the air con? I still remember you and Will at Stanstead saying "100° is normal to us!"
Calvin Robinson who's shown in the dance clip is a shock troll who now cosplays an ordained minister of some kind. One of those ministries that you can get from collecting tokens from cereal boxes I think, but he's still given air time from networks that should know better.
Piers Morgan is an a*se, but his anger with the Government over the Care Homes debacle is the one time I've found myself in agreement with him.
The routines on Strictly Com Dancing were wholly appropriate for early evening family viewing- just some people have very fixed views. The Drag Queen number wasn't in any way 'explicit' it was just dancers in costume and makeup.....like every dance!
Celebrity Big Brother...... well, enough said....
The Ghostwatch Live may have been scripted darama- but it wasn't billed as such, and used TV presenters who normally dealt with factual content....so it was unexpectdly scary.
Also ghostwatch was from the 80s before the internet and social media.. i was around 7 at the time and my older sister was 12... we were scared shitless... i watched it again a few years ago and it was laughable.. different times man. I don't mean it in a bad way but sometimes i think you younger generation who grew up with an ipad and social media dont truly understand or can truly appreciate how different times were as little ago as the mid 90s before we saw the world daily on a phone screen and all we knew was 4 channels and a radio :)
The ridiculous thing about the drag complaints is that the British pantomime which is a tradition spanning hundreds of years and are plays specifically for children always include a drag queen lol it's not a pantomime if it doesnt have a man playing a woman
A panto dame is NOT a drag queen. Drag tends to be highly sexualized which I think we can all agree is not appropriate for young children.
@@kn3448 yes. A pantomime queen is a man in drag lol
@@jgreen2015 I think the point is, there is a wealth of difference between panto dame which is tailored for children and isn't sexualized in any way and a 'drag queen' in a sexy outfit gyrating against something or other. Not all men dressed as women have the same agenda.
@@LittleMissPyeWacket how is dancing on strictly sexual though? There was no nudity. No obscene dance moves. It's just that they were men in drag lol it was no more sexual than the women dancing
@@jgreen2015 I agree with you in that clip I didn't see anything sexualized. I don't watch the show so can't make a full comment on it. My point was there is a real distinction to be made between Dame Edna Everage dotty type aunt figure and a drag queen on RuPaul's Drag Race whose aim is to be a parody of a woman being erotic and sexy.
Lemmie tell you about that ghost watch thing, that shit was scary af !!
Bottom line is that the British LOVE to complain. The only person I find objectionable is Jeremy Clarkson. But I have never complained about him. I just do not watch anything he appears on. I tend to have the same views as you Joel.
I'm 100% with you on the drag and same sex dance partner thing. How sad people's lives must be if things like that bother them, especially enough to actually make a complaint 😂 Pathetic
... guessing religion is in the mix ... closed minded 'parents' have a lot of learning - films like Love,Simon should be mandatory showing in schools for 14 year olds+ in social studies. if parents complain "ok, take your kid out of this school... but btw, the next school will be doing the same -best start saving for a private tutor"
The complaints made about TV shows are usually made by closed-minded people with too much time on their hands. I have to laugh at Kim Woodburn playing the victim since she was the one who started most of the arguments whilst on Celebrity Big Brother. She was horrible to the younger women. As for Roxanne, she accused poor Ryan of hitting her when he didn't touch her. She blew it up to be something really damaging to his reputation but thankfully, the public didn't fall for it and she had a lot to answer for when she left the house.
we love a king that accepts the gays. handsome, chill and good natured 😻
I saw the Jeremy Clarkson incident. He started off by making extreme remarks in support of the strikers, then "for the sake of balance" made equally extreme remarks against them. But 90% of the time only the latter are shown. Taken out of context like that the complaints would be justified but in context they were not.
I think a majority of the complaints were from ppl with nothing better to do than to sit like a ‘Karen’ and write letters of complaints to tv companies. Diversity routine was amazing. The Strictly routines were also amazing and complained upon from ppl still stuck in the dark ages.
The problem with watch mojo is that it doesn't show enough of the clip.
They may as well just put still pictures and explain what they're about.
The majority of these complaints come from 60 plus year olds stuck in their ways with nothing better to do, drag performers have been around since Shakespearean times when men would play women and women would play men, it’s always been even in pantomimes, if they thought that was offensive they’d have a seizure watching rupauls drag race 😂 also Kim woodburn is an icon love her she’s hilarious and your right your born gay, watching two men or women dance together isn’t going to make their kids gay it’s gonna make them accept that’s life
No. In Shakespearean time men played men and women, but women were not actors.
I am over 60 and remember being taken my parents to watch Danny La Rue in panto.
I'm in the UK and I don't watch any of these 'popular' TV shows, they lack any intelligent content, so therefore I don''t get outraged.
You seem to be well informed and balanced for your age, how old were you when you were aware of these choices that people make. You obviously have made some intelligent decisions along the way.
Nice bit of sarcasm for the day
I've never seen any of those clips before. 😂
For a little extra context, there is a grand tradition in the UK of 'writing in' and complaining about TV; there used to be a short programme on the BBC called 'Points of View', which consisted of people writing in to give their opinions about BBC TV programmes - often giving praise for good series, but most of the time they were complaints! People would write in, and instead of the presenter reading the letters (later emails), they would put the text on the screen and have actors do dramatic readings of the letters in their best angry/disgruntled voices! To give you an idea of how deeply rooted this tradition is, watch this clip from 1985 from the 2:00 minute mark, following which you will hear peoples' opinons on a new BBC programme calld "Monkey Business": th-cam.com/video/PQgPgi0n9rY/w-d-xo.html
... today the BBC has a short prog called (I think) Write of Reply, or something. Ive only caught a couple, total BS, the BBC Manager/Director/Film Maker they put up to defend the programme ALWAYS says the list of complaints are wrong, and the BBC is perfect.
Very well parodied on Monty Python ("Me husband like many man of his age is sixty and I wish to make a complaint" etc.)
The strictly complaints were absolutely ridiculous. Some people just like to complain about anything!
The same people complaining about a drag routine on Strictly would take their kids at Christmas to see Pantomime Dames.
0:45 OMG I remember this. Also, Indian actor (Shilpa Shetty) representation.
I remember watching this too. I have to confess I felt sorry for Jady ( RIP) , i don't think she thought she was being racist or had intent to be. She had a terrible time afterwards being vilified. She went into to do Indian version of big brother afterwards.
14:11 I do remember that Ghostwatch episode.
I'm sure the majority were accepting of the same sex couples dancing , you will always get those that want to complain or are the lets say more religious types or people who think children shouldn't watch two people dancing together which is all it was . BLM movement are not as squeaky clean as people think but again it's just a dance routine at the end of the day .
Have you seen the video, 'Scotland's Electric Brae - Where Cars Roll Uphill'?
The same sex dancing on Strictly? I think it was the rumba made me cry it was so amazing. Complaints about drag? We have such a long history of theatrical drag in the UK I can only assume the complainers have no idea about UK history. Jeremy Clarkson? An attention seeker, best ignored. The Diversity BLM dance? I'm a white person and didn't feel discriminated against. I also think it's probably important to inform children of the dangers of discrimination, presented in a format they can understand easily.
Normalcy is not a word. It’s normality.
I am nearly 36 years old now, born in '87, and when I grew up in the '90s we all watched Priscilla Queen of the Desert and To Wong Foo. Two of the biggest stars on TV were Lily Savage and Dame Edna Everage just to name a couple. It really is just a case of busybodies with nothing better to do than phone ofcom
As far as the rest, I can't stick Colleen Nolan. I have always stuck by Kim Woodburn. Also, that Roxanne Pallet deserves all she gets after her lies about Ryan
It's not the fact that a drag routine and two same sex dancers were performing, it's the fact that the performances were promiscuous and highly sexualized to be screened before the watershed when kids could be watching.
@@kn3448 so was the dancing on TOTPs that went out wayyy before the watershed, and repeated for years as totp 2, lets be real here, it was about them being same sex. Where are the complaints every time Dirty dancing inevitably airs?
Have to say you’re very mature with your reactions and you have very measured reactions
In the dance show, the dance gay couple was so good to change their roles, and I say this is the show is a dance challenge. Yes, kids watch it's I just think some people overreact and besides Craig love dress up for special dance
I forgot to mention it earlier but congratulations on the move! 👏🏽
What do you mean The move ?
@@marionpetford7374he’s moved into a new apartment - hence no GB flag decor etc….he hasn’t said WHY he has moved but it’s prob as it’s his new term at college etc..
It's funny what people complain to ofcom about. I remember some years ago there was a contestant called Anthony on Big Brother, a young, handsome fella, he got really wasted one night and his gay housemate, Craig, creepily hassled him for hours under the guise of taking care of him. Anthony was so drunk and vulnerable that he started to cry for his mother. It was pretty messed up but I don't recall people complaining about that.
Whataboutism.
I've been waiting for the last piece, and have finally sent a package to you. Talk about bad timing, you'll have to make a decision. Whatever you decide, I'll have a laugh!
All the shit i've seen on UK Tv over the 50 years i've never felt the need to complain , although i do see why some of these have done so . Even though here in the UK celebrities swear and nudity is permitted there is an understand it's all shown after 9pm when small kids are in their beds , so subjects about sexuality , racism & violent behaviour are generally taboo during the day .
It's worth noting that the drag show got 100 complaints, I think you know how easy it is to elicit that number in these days of electronic communication.
Kids are not kids long enough these days!
They are forced to grow up way too fast!!
That ghost watch with the phoney possessed voice is so funny, what was she saying ‘your mother cooks socks in hell’ ?
I feel like people complained about shows like strictly come dancing, not necessarily because of what happened more because a lot of people hate the bbc
I completely agree with you 👍 I do enjoy watching your videos ✌️
I was on acid when I saw Ghostwatch, it scared the living crap out of me.
Yeah Joel, our Politicians are childish too in the UK! and some of our complaints are pathetic. Mind you a lot of the shows are too.
Its a question of sensitivity joel, the care home one a fact of leaving old people in crisis, and a govt that didnt seem to care, others hatred of one another, and mostly other insensitive remarks as a whole or stances soaps and all fiction but there is a limit at 7pm what kids can watch, a lot of these went out before 9pm hence risky.
Might I suggest reading about the nature/existence of british tv (BBC) and the like.
I watched both of those shows, Strictly and BGT and to me they were just very entertaining dance routines. I didn't think of it as political. On another note Joel, I guess that you have had the aircon fixed in your apartment now, as you are wearing a shirt haha.Keep doing what you're doing Joel. Lyd x
That's not Ryan Thomas in the Punchgate clip shown.
Yes you do need context but that would take hours. The Angry of Mayfair sketch by Kenny Everatte sums it up in a heart beat. Many viewers forget the off option but will complain about everything. I recommend you find the clip of Julie Clary presenting an award, his comments almost ruined him, but to the more liberal mind were funny. Search Norman Lamont, Julien Clary. Polititions never answer a question it's part of the job.
2:16 to be fair we can smile or laugh when we are put on the spot or feel highly stressed or “found out” etc
Clarkson is an intelligent guy, he knows how to play the media, he knows what will 'sell'. On The One Show, he gave a good amount of support to the strikes, even if only in jest, then added "..but this is the BBC and so we must be balanced..." before jumping into the often quoted sentences that everyone in the UK knows about. It should also be noted that although there were a total of 21k complaints in the end, the number before the media picked it up, stripped it back, and ran with it, was something like...... six.... Although granted, that may have been the total viewership at the time.
A lot of these complaints are from BBC which is mainly a channel watched by people over the age of 60
Storms in teacups!!. xxx
'Family show'.....this isn't the 60s/70s!.....families don't sit down to watch telly anymore, plus the media get their knickers in a twist, if they get 6 complaints!
You are a wise man Joel
Brits weren't into the whole BLM thing like americans, so many brits were sick of it.
I found it hard to understand the reported outrage because the clips are too short to understand having never seen any of the shows.
Even though some of the things this guy say's i dont agree with etc but... Look how cute he is!!! Haha he's so handsome!
The oddest thing is the Chris Morris one. In light of what he did afterwards - Blue Jam radio show and its TV counterpart, Jam make Brass Eye look positively tame and they didn't get half the furore
Most of the complaints are usually from Conservative or Christian groups. They are actually relatively small in number and don't represent the British public, hence the Ofcom judgements.
Or just concerned parents. Not EVERYTHING should be shown to a young child's eyes.
Joel mate, you crack me up. When you’re next on this side of the pond, you have to come to Cardiff 👌🏻
I got sick of the shi* on TV and turned it off 3 years ago and never turned it back on. I caught a few minutes of TV at my daughters house and it was the same shi* being shown as it was when I stopped watching it.
I agree that in the world of sane people none of this amounts to much, but this is television, and people there inhabit a never land. Incidentally I may have missed something but aren't you in a different room? Nosy, moi?
I can see how much American TV has influenced British TV. I felt like I was actually watching American TV
🤣🤣🤣"Family" show is slang for ultra-conservative right-wing christian fundamentalist-show".
That baby swap story on Eastenders was GRIM AS HELL, I eventually gave up watching all of the daytime soaps and I remember thinking back to that storyline and it was one of the reasons I quit 🤮
What you have failed to notice is that that drag queen dance took part in 1999. A time when the developed world still didn't see being gays and trans as being normal. If this was to happy today I can guarantee that there'd be at least 90% last complaints in comparison.
As for the black lives matter one. Very young people watch the show and so it really should have been shown later on in the day at the very least.
Besides, my mum has worked at many different care homes over the years and she has whitnessed several trying to fake the race card of other white staff members just to avoid getting into trouble as they know that would most likely work and that they would be able to get away with it. There was one time when that didn't work but it just goes to show that black people themselves arn't always as innocent themselves. Either way, as long as black and white people are (both) able to get along with each other that's what matters most.
2:46 It does get very WWE at times with American debates.
The Brass Eye segment makes me think of The League of Gentlemen output we've been watching with you on Patreon. Find a level of distaste and then just bulldoze through it.
Why did you just skip over the big brother one? But gave a comment about all the others? 👀
Good lad. Great reaction. "All walks of life," key comment.
You missed that she laughed at 4000 dying and Piers showed the headline.
Oh I loveeeee happy valley
I don’t actually think this video shows the “most outrageous”, rather it is a collection of most complained against. Some of those complaints probably came from people who hadn’t actually watched the show, but were encouraged by others to complain. Christian groups often complain about anything they think isn’t “family friendly”.
You’d probably be amused by a recent TV interview with a Trump supporter on one of our major daily news programmes. The interviewee was outraged when asked if a Trump indictment would lead to violence, accusing the news reporter of “propaganda”. The reporter shot back, “No I don’t do propaganda. That’s your job. I’m a news reporter and I just ask questions”.
Joe....... I totally agree with ur whole point but you have got to have an open mind and yes there is a time in the evening when you can show these type of programs where kids are not meant to be able watching TV after 20.00hrs I think ...
I remember that 'Loose Women' incident with Kim. First, Loose Women is a live programme that brands itself similar to a show you have called The View but less political. Mainly due to the head of ITV being 'Woke'. Kim Woodburn appeared in the Celebrity Big Brother house and appeared to be antagonistic and rude from the moment she entered. (Her appearance on the show for me was brilliantly funny... Although some do not like her!) She appeared as a guest in the clip to confront Colleen Nolan (who appeared in it with her) and make peace. It seemed that Kim was looking for trouble although some people believe she was picked on during the interview. It led to her storming off in a massive row live on air in front of the studio audience. You would want to watch her CBB series fights (you can find a compilation of it on YT to get an idea!) Anyway, much controversy on British TV has happened since with the likes of Philip Scofild and Jeremy Clarkson. I'm also surprised the Jeremy Kyle incident wasn't included in the list too!
You are spot on. There is a demarcation line between early evening shows and shows the whole family watch together. Political statements like that shouldnt be in a family show. After 9pm anything goes.
