Published 1 month ago
Description
The BBC has removed its coverage of Sunday night’s BAFTA awards from iPlayer after a racial slur was broadcast on BBC One and remained uncorrected for a number of hours.
It was said by John Davidson, a campaigner for Tourette syndrome, as Delroy Lindo and Michael B Jordan took to the stage to present an award.
The broadcaster has since apologised for the controversy and said that the footage will be re-edited.
Joe O’Shea and Elaine Burke speak to Matt on The Last Word.
