absolutely agendas bbc christian confusing developing extreme fuss happened lots means media outside people promote protests question religious saw trying wrong
The protests have absolutely nothing to do with the show. There's no question that the people who are trying to promote extreme religious agendas scan the media for opportunities to make a fuss. No one who saw the show objected to it on Christian grounds - when we were developing it there was no controversy at all. What happened is that when it was going to go on telly they thought, 'If we make a fuss by demonstrating outside the BBC then we can get lots of media coverage.' It's very confusing because it means people go to see it with the wrong expectations.
