Council drops Punch and Judy for 'trivialising' domestic violence

PM

Available for over a year

It's a traditional part of the British seaside experience - but there'll be no Punch and Judy for holidaymakers in Barry Island this year. That's because the local council has decided to drop the puppet show, saying it 'trivialises' domestic violence. John Styles was awarded an MBE for services to the arts, especially Punch and Judy. He came to the PM studio to tell Peter Hunt why the attraction is just a bit of harmless fun. (Photo: Punch and Judy puppets in the PM studio. Credit: 麻豆社)
