Dear all,
Apologies for sending you a second update in one day, however this is worth it: ITV have just published a press release saying that they will not be running a 2nd season.
http://www.itv.com/news/update/2014-11-10/itv-decides-not-to-continue-dapper-laughs-show/
Notice the ITV spokesperson's words: "We have given careful thought to the recent criticism of the character Dapper Laughs, which has focused on his activities outside of the ITV2 programme, whose content was carefully considered and complied. We have taken the decision that we will not be considering this show for a second series."
They are basically saying that they didn't do anything wrong and that Dapper's show is being cancelled because of the "comedian's" work *outside* of the show.
I hope you all agree with me that ITV should recognize in a written statement that they made a big mistake in airing the show in the first place. And why can I still access Dapper Laugh's season 1 online on ITV Player?
Let's keep the twitter and email storm going until they apologize!
Finally, why not write to the regulator Ofcom with your concerns about ITV's stance?
