The BBC has received more than a thousand complaints after Robert Luckett’s appearance on “Stupid” Paul Armstrong’s Radio 4 comedy show, The Crumbs of My Battenberg.
Luckett made reference to urination on thirty-one occasions, and twice himself urinated - at one point onto fellow guest panelist Rob Brydon - during yesterday’s broadcast.
One listener wrote: “Though the radio medium spared us having to actually see Mr Luckett relieving himself onto Mr Brydon, thank God, the sound effects picked up by the microphones paid for by license-owners provided a nonetheless clear mental image. Brydon’s gurgling noises were particularly troubling.
“I will not be tuning in again.”
The show has been defended by TV presenter Noel Edmonds, who declared on a live Radio 2 call-in programme earlier this morning: “I LOVE piss!”
Edmonds’ comment has drawn a further 118 complaints from radio listeners.
The Controller of BBC Radio 4, Mark Damazar, told BBC news: “Though some listeners may have found Mr Luckett’s actions disturbing, our research shows that there is an ever-growing demand amongst the British public for piss-based programming.”
He added: “I personally love piss.”
