Evidence please........
Have they actually got the power to do that?
Didn't they only uphold complaints about the warnings beforehand the first time round? Presumably with sufficient warnings this time they'd have no reason to object to a repeat.
I can't believe you're even responding to an anonymous posting. if this forum has taught us anything it should be: don't trust anything you read on this forum.
But if you're really interested, the BSC (not ITC) report is here:

Dammit! Gave away my surname. That'll teach me to write work emails while I'm surfing the web...
And there was an ITC report, hyah:
http://www.itc.org.uk/news/news_releases/worddocs/upl_432.doc
And this Guardian article explicitly says that C4 could repeat the episode, with sufficient warnings:

Sorry to fill this thread up with facts and all, but I'm like that.
> they have
Almost as sidesplitting as your witty dig at Charlie Brooker in the Unnovations thread, 'Anonymous'.
who gives a shite. we all have it on video at least twice.
>who gives a shite. we all have it on video at least twice.
Even though most of us hate it. ;)
If they repeat it with cuts, we can then start a "Brass Eye Special Used To Be Better It Did" thread, combining two great recent forum slanging matches in one.
>If they repeat it with cuts,
speaking of which, why no sotcaa article yet? will the comedynetuk site ever update?
this isn't the sotcaa forum ollie
There isn't one.
Stop talking to Anonymous! Fuck him!
How can we? We don't know his name. When in flagrante delicto, we can't just scream "Oh! Oh, Anonymous! Take me like the dog I am!", can we? It's so impersonal.

"Unh! Oh yes, MR G STEVENSON, pump me like a runaway carthorse! Bugger me soggy, MR G STEVENSON!"

I know some people feel that marriage as an institution is dying out, but I disagree and the point was driven home to me rather forcefully not long ago by a letter I received which said: "Darling, I love you and I cannot live without you. Marry me, or I will kill myself." Well, I was a little disturbed at that until I took another look at the envelope and saw that it was addressed to "Occupant".

bugger me soggy?
*throws up*
That's it, Hoare-sen! Throw up on me, like the cheap srut that I am!
*throws up on everyone*
Now, why is it recently that I've only been contributing to threads about sex...
...and I'm such an easy target as well :-)
Why did you throw up on me? I've been nice...well I made ONE cheap joke about your surname but I revealed my horrible surname *shudders at the thought of it* to you. :O)
Getting back on topic, somewhat...
I have a near-complete set of press cuttings relating to the BES affair (including the advert C4 put in TimeOut - bet you didn't see that, eh?). Collectively, they comprise the most depressing set of prose I possess, apart from "The Great Terror" by Robert Conquest and some books about World War One. Reading through it is like having to listen to the shittiest collection of pub bigots trawl through their shittiest mis-informed, self-righteous, load-of-shit opinions, on continuous loop for several hours. And I hated BES, myself.
Actually, some were reasonably fair. But the Daily Mail took up the slack for all the others. And then some.
Lets not forget 'The News of the World' and their "Name and Shame" segment which was the funniest thing ever!
And of course no BES archive is complete without a copy of the Daily Star's magnificent Charlotte Church article. "Looking chest swell", indeed.
yes I emailed that to Chris and he found it mildly amusing.
I often email intesting links found on here to him.
Sent that card thing earlier.

Why do you put yourself through this if you hate it all so much?
"Reading through it is like having to listen to the shittiest collection of pub bigots trawl through their shittiest mis-informed, self-righteous, load-of-shit opinions, on continuous loop for several hours."
But if you insist on reading Conquest what do you expect?
I hated BES as well.
