Clarence House ban ensures rolling antipodean satire by the Chaser team
The promotional clip
and two of the final no-access-to-the-wedding clips
No wonder Prince Charles issued a ban on using footage of the Windsor-Middleton wedding “in any drama, comedy, satirical or similar entertainment program or content” - The Chaser team's fame had gone before it and someone at the BBC had likely seen the promo and insisted the letter of the broadcasting rights contract be observed.
Still, Clarence House was naive to hope that the matter would end there with no prospect of raw, biting or even downright silly satire surfacing in response and, now the ABC is running the complete clip set on iView for the next twelve days.
Tell an average Australian "No" in an upper-class English accent and the rest is very predictable.
