As part of a round on the BBC Radio 5
Live show 'Fighting Talk', Colin Murray, the show's presenter, asked a
contestant to argue that they could 'cure' the award-winning sports
commentator of lesbianism.
The controversial broadcast came during the final segment of the show in which guests are asked to 'defend the indefensible' and argue a difficult-to-support case.
Comedian Bob Mills responded to the challenge by saying that Balding was a "horse woman", who "appreciates power between her thighs", before adding: "And we all know, there is no woman that can't be cured."
A spokesman for the BBC said today: “The comments were made during a round called ‘Defend the Indefensible’, which asks panelists to comment on topics which, by their very nature, are blatantly indefensible.”
“However, we would like to apologise unreservedly to anyone who was offended by the live broadcast."
The Independent.
It was a joke - in a very boringly blokey comedy show, by the sound of it.
Clue's in the name, 'Defending The Indefensible'.
Really lame and childish and in poor taste, but there you go.
Hope the BBC don't find out the crap Jeremy Clarkson comes out with on Top Gear.
