"A media outlet shouldn't encourage people to laugh at real victims of monstrous crimes. And it shouldn't suggest to an audience of millions that it's proud of having done so. Nor should we leap to its defense when it does."

Fortunately in this case no victims of a crime are being laughed at, only a fictitious scenario.

So that's that then.

The version I saw starred Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Christopher Ryan of young ones fame.

Christopher Ryan was the star of the show and brought the house down.
