WINDING REFN SWEARS ON BREAKFAST TV SHOW
BBC bosses have issued a formal apology after filmmaker NICOLAS WINDING REFN turned the airwaves blue during an early morning interview on Monday (19Sep11).
The director was appearing on U.K. TV show BBC Breakfast alongside actress Carey Mulligan to promote their film Drive.
Mulligan was seen cringing as the filmmaker described the level of violence in the action movie, insisting it was "a bit like f**king".
Horrified presenter Bill Turnbull quickly apologised for the remark and asked Winding Refn to "try and make the point without using that word".
Chiefs at the BBC have since issued viewers a further statement, which reads, "Unfortunately a guest used a swear word during a live interview. Bill Turnbull immediately Âchallenged his language and both presenters apologised to viewers.
"There was a further apology at the end of the programme. We are sorry if anyone was offended."
