Part 1 The Making of JOAN: put on a happy face - The TV Interview on GMB

The TV Interview on Good Morning Britain 28th July 2018 

(The beginning of the rest of my life...)

On the 28th of July, 2018, I tuned into a TV interview on *Good Morning Britain* featuring one of my entertainers, Professor Brian Llewellyn. He was discussing his Punch and Judy puppet show when Tricia Goddard, one of the guests, raised concerns about the depiction of domestic violence in the storyline. She questioned whether the Professor had considered adapting the show to align with modern attitudes by removing the violent elements.

As his agent and a fellow entertainer, I understand the importance of evolving with the times and ensuring our performances reflect contemporary values. However, I also believe traditional entertainment like Punch and Judy has its place. Violence is undeniably part of the human experience, and I feel it’s something we shouldn’t completely erase from our art. What’s your take on this?
