SPRINGER SHOW GOES AHEAD
Advertisements [?]
BBC executives were tonight under guard after the controversial show Jerry Springer - The Opera was aired on BBC2.

The corporation said it had received threats from individuals who objected to the programme's "blasphemous" content.


It is believed Roly Keating, the controller of BBC2, and Jana Bennett, the director of television, are among those who have been given private security guard protection.

A BBC spokesman said executives' families had been subjected to "a large number of abusive and unpleasant calls".
