“The hour-long special includes footage of funerals and corpses in mortuaries. It is also thought to include photos of the dead taken by their relatives as keepsakes – a ghoulish practice considered normal by the Victorians.”
That’s just what The Sun is telling us. The programme hasen’t been aired yet but as per usual Mediawatch UK are rushing to condem.
Beyer’s depature and the lack of a replacement rent-a-quote explains the abscence of a spokesperson.
From The Sun:
Two feet in the grave
One Foot in the Grave star Richard Wilson is to present a controversial documentary about DEATH. Richard, 72 – who played legendary moaner Victor Meldrew – was hired by the BBC for a show investigating how people cope with bereavement. The hour-long special includes footage of funerals and corpses in mortuaries. It is also thought to include photos of the dead taken by their relatives as keepsakes – a ghoulish practice considered normal by the Victorians. mediawatch-uk branded the show “distasteful” and said the choice of host was inappropriate. But Beeb chiefs insist the documentary – called Two Feet in the Grave – is “a sensitive exploration of attitudes towards death”.

The show hasen’t even been made! But Mediawatch UK can brand it “distaseful”. They look into their crystal ball and see TV shows even before they have been made. Woooooooooooooooooooooo! Spooky!
