London, Sept 20 (ANI): The BBC has expressed it apology to its viewers after a film director uttered a profanity while comparing violence to sex in his new movie on a live show.
The presenters of BBC1 show 'Breakfast' apologised to its viewers following the remark from 'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn on Monday morning.
British actress Carey Mulligan, who stars in the new film, opposite Ryan Gosling, was also present on the show with Refn.
When asked about the violence in the movie, about a Hollywood stuntman moonlighting as a criminal getaway driver, Refn said it was "a bit like f******".
To which presenter Bill Turnbull apologised and told the Danish-born filmmaker to "try and make the point without using that word".
After being prompted by the show's presenters, the director also apologised and said: "Oh right ... The violence is very much part of the sexual build-up. Violence in itself in the movie is an illusion. It's unbelievable."
"The job is to make it believable. When you do that the build-up is all about sex. It's all about the build-up," he added.
A BBC spokesman said, "Unfortunately a guest used a swearword during a live interview on 'Breakfast'. Bill Turnbull immediately challenged his language and both presenters apologised to viewers on air."
"There was a further apology at the end of the program. We are sorry if anyone was offended," the spokesman added. (ANI)
