Drinking with Lesbians - cancelled
Mike's rival to the well-known BBC series is
cancelled -- or at least postponed, a well-placed source reveals.
Drinking with Lesbians, featuring beardy
anthropologist Mike Daley and a supporting cast of butch and femme lesbians from
across the gender divide, has been cancelled due to illness afflicting one of
the main actors. "Our study," asserted Mr. Daley, "focused heavily on the
drinking habits of a slim, attractive young woman known as Jenna. Unfortunately
she has fallen prey to tonsillitis and we may have to postpone filming until her
recovery is complete. Whilst the public are undoubtedly ready to observe the
lesbian in her natural habitat of the Shakespeare's Head, Holborn, we felt it
would be appropriate to wait until this most fascinating of creatures was able
to speak and swallow without undue
discomfort."
Professor Robert Winston,
MA (Hair), was unavailable for comment. A spokesperson for the BBC, whose rival
series, "Walking with Dinosaurs", featured no lesbians at all, said, "Um, OK.
I'm just going to put you on hold for a moment," before replacing the receiver,
disconnecting the call, and telling her colleague Tristan that she had now won
the Weekly Weirdo Sweepstake, a popular competition amongst call-centre staff at
the BBC's White City headquarters. Further coverage is not available on any of
the BBC's seventeen thousand websites.
