The Utterly Utterly Merry Comic Relief Christmas Book - Censorship
The book has never been reprinted following its initial print run, as a result of religious censorship. Douglas Adams complained that, as a result, considerably less money was raised for famine relief.
In line with its Christmas theme the book contained several pieces about the nativity, including:
- The Gospel According to a Sheep by Richard Curtis with additions by Douglas Adams. This told the story of the nativity night from the point of view of a sheep that gets eaten as part of the celebrations, and therefore has a slightly jaundiced view of the whole affair.
- The Young Ones' Nativity Play in which the characters from The Young Ones act out the nativity story in typically irreverent style.
- Jesus' Birthday in which Jesus is portrayed as a grumpy and mischievous child in a modern household.
Christian groups took offence and threatened to sue for blasphemy. They eventually prevented the book from being reprinted by threatening to withdraw the publisher's right to print certain versions of The Bible.
