Here I was thinking she was just a crazy old git, but here she didn't have anything for Gunston to be 'versus' against. In fact, the opposite; if only Whitehouse's legacy was in keeping with her words of conclusion here, the world would be a less shitty place.
Exactly. It was a bang-up fine performance from her. Zero problems with what she said. You could tell Gunston was floundering, trying to get a bite. Didn't happen.

@@hanajinks1044 I'll tell you how. She was nothing more than a stuck up toffee nosed old toad who seemed to think she had the right to pick and choose what was and wasn't suitable for home viewing. Because of her and her retarded small army of snowflakes many films were either banned or heavily censored some of which still remain banned or heavily censored to this day which is unfair on the people who put time, money and effort into making these films. Not to mention the people who enjoy such entertainment. The simple solution is if you don't like on screen violence or foul language or sex or whatever then simply steer clear of the kind of films and TV programmes that consist of such content. No need to f**k it up for everyone else.
No. She was actually very personable and funny. I never thought of her that way. I thought she was just a stuck up humourless bore who set herself up on a pedestal telling others what they can and cannot watch on TV. I was wrong.
"You need to speak a little more Engliah and less Australian" But she's talking to an Aussie, probably while in Australia. She was just a total bigoted racist. Words fail me.

That is NOT a coincidence
It was the standard for older women in that era - you must be very, very young indeed.
Wow, Mary Whitehouse was not the puritan of my memory. She just cared about people.

Silly old bat.. "Oh, I can't understand your accent, you'll have to sound more English or I won't hear what you're saying."
I think Mary Whitehouse was being a bit sarcastic there and going along with the humour.
To quote the Big Finish Audio, 'Davros,' she *"even LOOKS evil!"*
+Jamey Hedgehog she does not look evil, what a silly thing to say
