TV3 defends 'Tallafornia' after Norris tags it 'repulsive'

TV3 is defending its "Tallafornia" programme, after it was slammed in the Seanad today by Senator David Norris.

Senator Norris called for a debate about standards in Irish life after he watched an episode of the show.

He described "Tallafornia" as both "repulsive" and "compulsive" viewing.

However, Maureen Catterson from TV3 has said the show has many fans and that as a commerical station, TV3 is entitled to broadcast it.
