So....I was all set to watch the second episode of "The Chop" last night. (Basically it's the great British pottery sewing be-off this time with carpentry. For no obvious reason it's hosted by Lee Mack).
S'funny - Sky+ hasn't recorded it. Hmm, not in scheduled record, not in program viewer anywhere. It's....vanished. I checked deleted recordings and ep 1 is there from last week but no sign of it anywhere. Weird.
So I checked Google hoping to find times etc. What I found amazed (and somewhat annoyed me). One of the contestants has a tattooed face. He was much mocked by Lee Mack because he looks scary but is actually quite a mellow guy. A viewer noticed one of his tattoos says 88. Apparently they signify life events and his story (easily checked by researchers who vet contestants) is that his father died in 1988.
So they CANCELLED THE ENTIRE SHOW. It has been erased from the rather ironically name History Channel who commissioned it and very heavily promoted it. I am both amazed and appalled.
(In case you don't know, 88 is used by some racist White Supremacists to tell the world just how racist they are. Mostly in America I believe.)
