FED:Chaser chasing alternative for wedding
Chaser fans could have expected light-hearted and occasionally tasteless jokes about
Prince PHILIP .. and a comparison of the speed it'll take CATHERINE MIDDLETON to reach
the altar .. compared to DIANA SPENCER and SARAH FERGUSON.
Chaser executive producer JULIAN MORROW says the national broadcaster is continuing
to seek an alternative television feed .. following the palace's threat to can the entire
ABC coverage if it proceeds with The Chaser's wedding special on ABC2.
But he isn't too optimistic .. and says the palace has done the Chaser team a favour
by inserting a clause preventing any satirical use of the live footage.
MORROW says their show was going to be a light-hearted .. occasionally tasteless commentary
.. but says he was always appalled by the prospect of having to cover the wedding .. and
he's glad the palace stepped in to stop the outrage.
