Ivan Yates attacks Normal People for showing 'debauchery' and 'gratuitous sex'

Broadcaster Ivan Yates has made an astonishing attack on Normal People for its “debauchery” and "gratuitous sex".

He stormed: “Well, I watched it after my own show last night and the unnecessary nudity and displays… if they weren’t having sex with one person, the two main actors were having it with someone else. A shocked John Kelleher was stunned into silence by the attack on Wednesday night’s show before saying: “Gosh, Ivan, I mustn’t have seen what you saw at all.”Kelleher replied that he had not, but had seen “very romantic” scenes with “excellent dialogue” which were “brilliantly directed” by Lenny Abrahamson.Yates then turned to his other guest saying: “The other thing John Fardy is it didn’t have much of a storyline. It just kind of petered out.

His comments follow a previous row on Joe Duffy’s Liveline programme when some viewers rang up to express their disgust at the show for “being like a porno movie” and for “encouraging fornication”. It has already attracted 3.3 million streams, nearly three times the previous record of 1.2 million for the fourth season of Love/Hate. And that figure looks set to rise and rise.The series has made household names out of its previously little-know stars, Paul Mescal, from Maynooth, Co Kildare, and Londoner Daisy Edgar-Jones.
