Adam Baxter, Ofcom Director of Standards and Audience Protection writes: Over the year, we received 36,543 complaints about over 9,500 issues, and completed 74 broadcast standards investigations. We found in 66 of these cases
that our rules had been broken. We also completed 45 fairness and privacy investigations during the year, of which six complaints were upheld. These figures show the weight we place on freedom of expression, and that we only step in when it's really
needed. Importantly, this number doesn't include complaints about programmes on the BBC. These are handled by the BBC in the first instance. In the summer, we told the BBC that we expect it to improve how it handles
complaints from viewers and listeners. And we were pleased to see it recently announce that it would be changing its processes to make it easier for people to complain. 2022's list of most complained about programmes is,
once again, dominated by reality TV -- in particular ITV's Love Island and I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Given the large viewing figures, and the headlines and conversations created by these shows -- both online and offline -- it is
not surprising to see them topping our chart. Top ten complaints:
- Love Island, ITV2, 17 July - complaints related to alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour by some contestants in the villa.
- I'm a Celebrity.... Get me out of here!, ITV, 6-27
November - viewers objected to the inclusion of Matt Hancock in the series.
- Friday Night Live, Channel 4, 21 October - complaints related to a performance by Jordan Gray.
- Love
Island, ITV2, 19 July - complaints related to alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour by some contestants in the villa.
- Good Morning Britain, ITV, 15 February - complaints related to comments made by Richard
Madeley about death threats made to Keir Starmer.
- Jeremy Vine, Channel 5, 24 January - viewers complained about a health consultant's inaccurate statement about numbers of unvaccinated people in hospital with
Covid-19.
- Love Island, ITV2, 18 July - complaints related to alleged misogynistic and bullying behaviour by some contestants in the villa.
- I'm a Celebrity.... Get me out
of here!, ITV, 13 November - viewers objected to bullying behaviour against Matt Hancock.
- FIFA World Cup Final 2022: Argentina v France, ITV, 18 December - complaints related to politicised comments from Gary
Neville.
- Sky News, Sky News, 10 September - a Justice for Chris Kaba walk was reported as people on their way to pay tribute to the late Queen. Ofcom is investigating whether this breached our rules on due accuracy.

Chinese Top Gun film delayed for inferior flying prowess as shown in Top Gun Maverick

Born to Fly is a 2022 China action drama by Liu Xiaoshi
Starring Yibo Wang, Jun Hu and Yosh Yu
The story of a special operations team headed by elite pilots ,
being ordered to test new fighter jets. Test flight after test flight, they continue to challenge the sky and the limits of themselves.
With hot young Chinese test pilots and heart-stopping aerial acrobatics, Born to Fly was supposed to
be China's answer to Top Gun: Maverick. The wildly anticipated action flick stars Wang Yibo, a pop star turned actor (think China's Harry Styles), and was written and directed by Liu Xiaoshi, who cut his teeth making popular promotional videos for the
Chinese military. Produced in full cooperation with the People's Liberation Army Air Force -- much as Maverick was with the U.S. Navy 204 the film showcases China's most advanced stealth fighter jet, the J-20. So, when Born to Fly was officially
scheduled for release on Sept. 30, the day before China's National Day holiday, many analysts were bullish on the tentpole's prospects to become China's next proudly nationalistic military blockbuster. But Born to Fly was mysteriously grounded
just days before its planned opening. The film's producers, including major studios Alibaba Pictures and Bona Film Group, put out a vague statement saying that the release would be postponed in order to present better production effects. No further
details were provided and no update has been given. Chinese authorities never comment directly on censorship decisions, but the word within the Beijing film industry is that Born to Fly's producers were made to realize that their movie's stunts and
visual effects were far inferior to Top Gun: Maverick's and that the Chinese version risked ridicule in comparison -- all of which would have been most unwelcome, even politically dangerous, given that the two films are, in part, propagandistic displays
of the United States' and China's military strengths. |
