mad things

This week’s Mary Monday is all about Mary Whitehouse. She’s not all that famous here in the U.S. but those in Britain know her name well as a campaigner for the moral right.

Whitehouse criticised adult entertainment like Goodfellas, the work of Dennis Potter and A Clockwork Orange. She claimed that Doctor Who had nightmare qualities, saying it “Contains some of the sickest, most horrible material” and describing it as “teatime brutality for tots”. Needless to say, we would not have gotten along.

Your Mary song is Mary Long by Deep Purple.

Added bonus song – Pink Floyd’s Pigs (Three Different Ones)
