222. RACISM ON TELEVISION: A BRITISH EXAMPLE

TV/film producer-director Chris Thomas, whose documentary on new
technology at the workplace we showed previously (see #184,"
brings with him an insightful documentary which he made showing
the nature and extent of racism on English television, using
clips from documentaries, panel discussions, interviews and
entertainment programs. The program, which was shown on the
BBC's public access hour, created a furor, resulting in threats
of lawsuits, an unusual disclaimer by the BBC and attempts by the
BBC to prevent further public showings of the program.
