The BBC’s “World On Fire” is a cunt, isn’t it?
(Riiiinng)
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Hello?
BBC CHIEF CUNT: I want an update on our new war drama? Have you complied with our request to make it Euro-friendly?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Yes, we’ve managed to make most of the British stuffy or racist, sometimes both.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Good, good, and you’ve peppered it with Polish people, speaking in their native Dooshka-Dooshka?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Yes, it’ll feel like a stroll down to your local town centre.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Christ. But they’re all sympathetic characters, no bad ‘uns?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: That would contradict the purpose of the programme, Sir.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Incidentally, call casting and ensure they’re all attractive and clean, not like those gnarly, drug-dealing cunts in your local town centre.
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Got it. Good-looking, hard-working, fighting the oppressive Germans. Sorry, I mean…. Nazis.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Token strong females?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Naturally.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Token Yanks so we can flog this expensive rubbish to them?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Yes, but Meryl Streep is a No-show. She’s busy destroying photos of her with Weinstein. We’ll get a Streep look-a-like.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Now, we’ll need a few homosexuals.
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Of course! We’ve already crowbarred the man romance to happen in Paris.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Hmm, can it be in a jazz bar to make them more sympathetic?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: We could make one a musician.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Yes, good. Hmm, could we make one of the homosexuals black?
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: In 1939 Paris?
BBC CHIEF CUNT: For fuck’s sake who cares about historical accuracy? We’re the BBC!
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: I’ll put a person of colour in every scene I can, Poland, France, England.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Wonderful. This’ll make great propaganda…I mean, drama.
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Must dash, Sir. I’m meeting Gina Miller and Ken Clark for lunch.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Oh, one last thing. Make one of the Nazi soldiers likeable. Give him a heart, some mercy, he spares killing some poor prisoners, or some sentimental crap.
HEAD OF PRODUCTION: Consider it done. This shit writes itself.
BBC CHIEF CUNT: Well as long as we don’t have to watch the melodramatic wank.
