Downton Abbey: Greece’s State Broadcast NET Censors Gay-Kiss

Posted by
Millions sat in front of their TV screens on Monday night in order to watch the firsh episode of multi-awarded and multi-advertised British television series “Downton Abbey”.  While we were watching in sheer delight the story of the aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in the post-Edwardian area, suddenly the picture jumped. Slightly. For a second or even less.. The screen was showing Duke-whatever having a dispute with servant=whatever to whom he had a love affair in the past.


THE kiss Greeks were not allowed to see
State broadcaster NET TV had decided the gay kiss was a NO-NO for Greeks and it had to be censored. In Europe of 2012…
Downton Abbey is being broadcast at 10 pm and is shown with the indication “allowed for all ages with parent consent.”
The scene shows Duke and servant exchange a short kiss, a scene lasting no more than 12 seconds.
