Yes a Bishop in Ireland is having a go at television as it does not have enough Christian belief on TV over Easter.
Bishop angered by Good Friday TV
The Bishop of Down and Dromore in Northern Ireland has said people should boycott television on Good Friday.
Reverend Harold Miller said he was "stunned" at broadcasters' offerings after reading TV listings for Easter.
He claimed that there were no additional religious programmes in the schedules, and those listed would "do little to feed our souls".
The BBC said it was committed to offering a wide range of religious programming at Easter.
After reading the Radio Times, the Church of Ireland bishop said he was alarmed to see broadcasters had not made any attempt to produce new religious programmes.
He said the best thing to do "is turn off our television on Good Friday".

For years we have been subjected to Cecel B. Demilles films about some guy getting nailed to the cross and a whole lot of whailing. About time we had something else on TV instead of people trying to sing all dressed up to look good on the old square box.
