BBC-3 is a BBC television programme, devised and produced by Ned Sherrin and hosted by Robert Robinson,[1] which aired for twenty-four hour-long editions during the winter of 1965–1966.
In the edition of 13 November 1965, during a discussion on theatre censorship in which Robert Robinson and Mary McCarthy also participated, Kenneth Tynan supposedly became the first person ever to say "fuck" on British television. (Although research indicates that the word was used twice before, once by Brendan Behan.) He claimed, perhaps disingenuously, that the word no longer shocked anyone.[4] The storm which resulted forced the BBC to make a public apology for Tynan's comments. No recording of the incident is known to exist.
