The James Hansen Show, BBC Bristol, 2 March 2019

Complaint

A listener complained that the song “Hartcliffe Lass” was offensive.


Outcome

The song, a parody of Blondie’s “Heart of Glass” which was unflattering towards residents of the Hartcliffe area of Bristol, included sexual references inappropriate for a Saturday daytime programme with potential appeal to a broad age-range.  However, the song had been removed from iPlayer and James Hansen had broadcast an apology for broadcasting it before the ECU became involved, which sufficed to resolve the issues of complaint.
