This Franz Kafka Big Band Story
The second series of the was scheduled to got out on 麻豆官网首页入口 Radio Scotland next week but when I heard the programmes I thought some of the sketches needed a little more work. Normally you can do this on a programme by programme basis but because I'd decided to schedule all five programmes over consecutive nights, there wasn't time to do that.
So I've postponed the second series to give the production company - - enough time to make some changes. Instead we'll repeat the first series. To my mind, the "Kafkas" have real and original talent and the production values of the programme are sky-high. It's surreal, black humour and certainly not to everyone's taste.
That's the story really, but you might not know that from the way it's being reported in some quarters. Thenewspaper had a slightly more interesting take on the matter and it looks like other newspapers might follow that up today.
But I thought this controversy might be a good opportunity to invite your opinions on the limits of comedy. Should some things be off-limits or can we forgive anything so long as it's funny?
And if you get a chance to listen to the repeat of the first series, do let me know what you think. That's what this page is for.
