Does new BBC comedy sketch 'Real Housewives of ISIS' go too far? #BBCNolan
The BBC are under fire after broadcasting a comedy sketch which pokes fun at the brides of ISIS fighters. The Real Housewives of Isis skit shows Jihadi brides taking selfies and showing off suicide bomb vests. One woman wearing a hijab says: "It's only three days until the beheading, and I've got no idea what I'm gonna wear." The sketch, based on the popular Real Housewives of... series, which has included New York, Orange County and Beverly Hills, is part of the new BBC2 comedy series Revolting. But is it funny? Commentators Emma Woolf and Tom Slater debate.
