'Imam of Dibley' no laughing matter for ITV lawyers

Comedian - and Oxford theology graduate - Katy Brand is said to be fuming after a skit called "The Imam of Dibley" was cut from her forthcoming ITV2 show, reports the Times. "The vast majority if Muslims are able to have a laugh at themselves just like everyone else. Why should they be excluded form comedy? It's funny that ITV had no problem with a new sketch about a pregnant Jesus's girlfriend who has to deal with dating the Son of God." Besides the theological and cultural arguments, Brand had an another problem with the decision of ITV's lawyers. "I really liked the outfit," she said.
