McIlroy and Television New Zealand Ltd - 1998-167
1998-167

SummaryThe Sunday movie broadcast at 8. 30pm on TV2 on 20 September 1998 was Desperado. It starred Antonio Banderas and was classified by TVNZ as AO. Ms McIlroy complained to Television New Zealand Ltd, the broadcaster, that the broadcast of a grossly violent movie at that hour breached broadcasting standards.

Acknowledging that it contained a good deal of violence, TVNZ submitted that most of it verged on being farcical....
