Title: The Beeb strikes again.
Post by: Grumpmeister on June 20, 2014, 05:11:54 AM
Looks like the new series of Clue may be the last one. Four complaints in a year about the lovely Samantha and the BBC has decided that Jack needs to tone down the innuendo, completely ignoring the fact that its been a part of the show for almost 30 years now.  Banghead

Quote
The BBC said it had received four complaints about Samantha since the start of 2013.

A spokesman said: ‘We have regular discussions with production teams and contributors of all long-running Radio 4 programmes on how we can best keep the much-loved shows clever, relevant and fresh to listeners.’

Simple answer given that there are around 2.5 million listeners to the show, wind your neck in and let Clue carry on as they always have otherwise you won't have a show anymore as Jack and co will most likely walk.

Perhaps a BBC spokesbeing will say "I refuse to apologise but we haven't a clue"
