CGiii Comment
It caused quite a stir.
Over-sensitive puritans picketed the BBC - such small-minded idiots.
There are far more offensive things being produced and aired.
This has everything - and more.
Hugely entertaining...for those who like a challenging piece of theatre.
And...I Just Wanna Fucking Dance...a classic.
