Are you offended by what's on TV? We are, on an almost hourly basis. Brenda, Jill and myself (Barbara) have been scouring TV, film, the Internet and the globe in search of filth, which we then show to you, so you can see just how much it needs to be banned.
You can see just how disturbing some of the stuff out there is by watching our show Ban This Filth on Channel 4, Tuesday late nights. We are sorry it's on so late but TV watchdogs won't allow it on any earlier because some of it is very filthy. If you tune in early you may want to set the video so you can be appalled the next day.

Asked Questions |

1.
Tell us a little bit about your moral crusade to rid Britain of filth.
I think the Ban This Filth team are like the majority of people in Britain, there are some things that we know instinctively are wrong - nudity, swearing, foreigners, women going to work. 2. What made you start the campaign in the first place? And how is it going? I was watching an episode of Midsommer Murders and I think someone said "sod" or something and I thought, what has the world come to, that this is deemed acceptable for broadcast? I think it was Midsommer Murders. Actually, now I come to think of it, it might have been TV's Naughtiest Blunders. The campaign's going very well. We were very pleased that Channel 4 have given us the opportunity to bring our campaign to the general public, because normally they are the filthiest of all the television channels. The only thing I ever watch on Channel 4 is Watercolour Challenge and I think that's stopped now. Luckily Gavin, my son-in-law has some lovely episodes of them on tape. 3. Obviously Jill and Brenda are your key lieutenants. How did you meet them? I met Jill working in the local Mencap shop in Burgess Hill. I was dropping off some of my late husband's effects. Brenda was a very old school friend I have never managed to successfully shake off. We also work with another good friend Lynne, but she is currently in hospital having tests. 4. What are your own favourite television programmes? Or are you not a big fan of the TV? I like what everyone else likes, Antiques Roadshow 5. In your crusade, how much filth do you think you have to endure sitting through every week? I sit through up to 8 hours of filth every day, much of it Scandinavian. 6. Do you have to monitor the Internet as well? You must have had to register with a lot of adult sites. Well I'm not so good with technology, so my son-in-law Gavin does most of that for me. He's up to the early hours most nights trawling the Internet, downloading the most appalling things imaginable. He is very dedicated 7. Are you ever worried that prolonged exposure to such material on TV and the web might corrupt you? No, I worry sometimes that it is corrupting Brenda as she is very easily led - she always was, even at school. But I let it wash over me, in the manner of the infamous shower scene in Lesbo College Girls 4. 8. With your Ban This Filth campaign set to sweep the nation thanks to television exposure, you are set to become a real celebrity. Do you think that will change you? I hope I would use my celebrity for something positive. Raising money for disease research for example. Or standing as a UKIP candidate for the European Parliament. I suspect Jill will let it go to her head and appear on `I'm A Celebrity'. I must confess though, I would like to have a spell in Dictionary Corner. 9. What do you do to escape the strains and stresses of such a high profile campaign? Bridge, bread making, coach travel, badgering my daughter to start a family. 10. What’s your idea of the perfect day? Any day that ends with a radox bath and a good book. I'm ploughing through the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency books at the moment. Wonderful stories, it's just a shame they're all set abroad. |

To The Ban This Filth Newsletter
Here
at Ban This Filth we are not great believers in the Internet. It
seems to be just another means of getting filth into the home. But Lynne
persuaded us that we should fight fire with fire and use the Internet
to take our campaign to the people who need it most.
Support our campaign by signing up to our newsletter, delivered every
Tuesday. Far better that this should fall into your inbox than some dreadful
letter asking if you need viagra or can you help someone on Nigeria who
has £45 million in your name.
To subscribe, just send an email to: subscribe@banthisfilth.com
Found any filth? Then
please e-mail Brenda the details: brenda@banthisfilth.com©
2004 Lynne's son Roy. Thank you to
Channel 4 for supporting our campaign.
