    Woman on BBC One just claimed she didn't find it funny, but offensive.

    Really?

    She's taken 35 years to come to that conclusion? Up next, a bloke reviews the Austin Allegro.

    Re: You should have been around when it first came out.

    I find I watch that programme every week with a growing sense of incredulity and frustration. I cannot believe educated people can go on there and say what they say. I am not religious in any sense and find 'belief' in a higher entity bizarre, but the level of fanaticism and inability to understand each other's views/differences beggars belief. Watch it just so I can exercise my neck whilst shaking my head! ;)

    I'll have a go at that.

    It's more aerodynamic going backwards than forwards.

    Actually, that's probably true of a lot of cars and was just Jeremy Clarkson being funny (to be fair it was) but it seems to have worked its way in to the public conciousness.

    Re: You should have been around when it first came out.

    You forgot for quite a while then because you sat through Andrew Marr as well.

    Not sure the context of the comment as I switched off after Andrew Marr, but so what.

    She wants to think herself lucky she doesn't have to watch The Life of Jim Obrien every week

    Re: You should have been around when it first came out.

    As most on here know, I am a Christian and I think that the film " Life of Brian " is one of the funniest films I have ever seen.
    I love it and Yes it does send up religion, but I cannot see what is so offensive.

    Every man, (or woman), or woman, should be forced to watch it, it's genius.

    I too believe in the one omnipresent creator, but also feel the film is so funny it's good enough for Jehovah.
