Jennifer Saunders Accuses BBC Of Dumbing Down

British comedienne, Jennifer Saunders has accused the BBC of dumbing down and becoming obsessed with populist comedy.

Saunders, 50, told The Daily Mail: “They are not making the kind of comedy we used to do. What they want now is populist programmes because there isn’t the budget to try the more ambitious things we were doing.

“We’ve been stopped from doing lots of sketches we wanted to do. The budgets for that kind of more ambitious stuff just aren’t there now. Really, that’s the reason we’ve decided to stop.”
