MTV to air full series of Popetown in Germany

Music channel MTV said today it will air the full series of the Popetown cartoon in Germany, citing a positive response from viewers after it broadcast one episode in the face of strong criticism from the church and politicians.

The show was originally made for BBC Three, but they dropped the 10-part show in 2004, arguing that its comedy value was not enough to offset the potential offence it could cause to Catholics.
