Industry star Marisa Abela has criticised the BBC’s decision to cut an image of an erect penis from its broadcast of the show.The drama, a co-production by HBO and the BBC, follows a group of young graduates competing in the dog-eat-dog world of London’s investment banking world, and stars Abela as Yasmin Kara-Hanani, the privileged daughter of a publishing billionaire.The show debuted to critical acclaim in 2020, and has this month returned to UK screens for its third season, with all eight episodes landing on BBC iPlayer on October 1.
The season has already been broadcast in the US.The first episode contains a fleeting image of the erect penis of Yasmin’s father Charles Hanani (Adam Levy) amid a sexual encounter with a pregnant member of his staff, but for its BBC broadcast, that image has been cut.Speaking to The Times, Abela has questioned the corporation’s decision. “What are they going to do, put something else over the top of it?” she asked. “Are they going to blur it out?
It is quite shocking, to be fair. But that’s not the point.”When asked about her own explicit sex scenes in the show, Abela added: “I don’t necessarily push back on the sex.
I understand that it’s part of the show. I think I’m just more careful now about what it is that’s being seen.”“The nudity aspect is not something that I minded in season one or two – it was like, ‘If it’s in my contract, I’ll do it.’ It was part of Yasmin and part of the fact that she was so comfortable with herself and she’s very free.
