Revolver Entertainment last night released the controversial BBC production Popetown on DVD.

Managing director of Revolver Justin Marciano said:

Revolver has never shied away from controversial titles. Popetown is an incredible piece of work with an outstanding cast, we’re delighted to have acquired it despite stiff competition from bigger organisations. As soon as we saw it we knew it would be a huge hit with the British public who love controversy and will undoubtedly reserve judgement until they have seen it for themselves.

The first episode has been available free of charge to members of the National Secular Society for a couple of weeks. Apparently the BBC weren’t lying when they said its “comic impact did not outweigh the potential offence it will cause”. It truly is crap.
