... but only on radio:
How does a polyamorous relationship between four people work?
Imagine one house, with four people, but five couples. How does it work, asks Jo Fidgen.
Charlie is talking excitedly about a first date she went on the night before.
Next to her on the sofa is her husband of six years, Tom. And on the other side of him is Sarah, who's been in a relationship with Tom for the last five years. Sarah's fiance, Chris, is in the kitchen making a cup of tea.
The two women are also in a full-blown relationship, while the two men are just good friends. Together, they make a polyamorous family and share a house in Sheffield.
"We're planning to grow old together," says Charlie.
Polyamory is the practice of having simultaneous intimate relationships with more than one person at a time, with the knowledge and consent of all partners. The term entered the Oxford English Dictionary only in 2006, and such relationships are rare enough that Tom finds himself having to account for his personal situation time and time again.

... and also on the radio apparently.
It's the end of civilization as we know it ... of course.

I suppose the next thing will be that some evil priest is refusing to hold a five-way wedding, just because they want to bring their boyfriends and girlfriends along as well.
That's just pure discrimination. What next, will they be prevented from adopting?
While there is a market for shit, there will be assholes to supply it.

How is this non-story in any way serious?

My tongue was of course firmly in cheek when I chose the thread title.

They pay a tax for this. If they want to watch TV, they pay a TV tax which goes to support the Beeb. This means they are directly funding this show whether they like it or not.
