About Paul Merton - and 'the huns'

I have enjoyed following the motor-homing escapades that Paul and his wife experienced on their first-ever trips but was very disappointed by their long drawn-out, supposedly comic, references to the above.

It occurred when the couple visited Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire. They had a long chat about its connection to the 'bouncing bomb' which was tested there. I realise that the circumstances of war lead inevitably towards such actions as that bombing but it is now known that thousands of innocent German lives were lost that night in a horrible way.

This was sad enough but was made much worse by the following jokey references to 'the huns'. I thought those days were past. I found it personally offensive and upsetting. It was a shame that such an agreeable series was tarnished by that episode.
