Filth: The Mary Whitehouse Story
The BBC is due to broadcast a 90-minute dramatisation of Mary Whitehouse’s rise to fame. Julie Walters will play the prissy smut-buster in what is said to be a “surprising and often very funny story”.
Whitehouse was spurred to public action when she heard one of The Beatles use the word “knickers” on TV. Now she is dead.

“Whitehouse was spurred to public action when she heard one of The Beatles use the word “knickers” on TV. Now she is dead.”
That concatenation of assertions calls for a Kurt Vonnegut style “So it goes.”

I rather suspect knowing Aunty Beeb and who’s heading it these days it will play to the Beyer mob. Hey, I’d like to be wrong though.

It was from “I am The Walrus” and she moaned about the line “Girl, you’ve been a naughty boy and let your knickers down” (I may have got boy & girl the wrong way round, but hey, what are prisons for). The thing that gets me about her is that she thought that people in general should agree with her views and if we didn’t like it she would moan to the govement.
The only free speech in her world was hers’
Rant over . Thankyou.

“Mrs Whitehouse died in 2001, aged 91.”
Whom the gods love die young!
