The devil has changed his time slot.DStv operator MultiChoice has had to move its newest drama series, Lucifer, from 7pm to 11pm following an outcry from Christian viewers.The Broadcasting Complaints Commission received 89 complaints since the series premiered on DStv last month. The show focuses on Lucifer Morningstar, who abdicates his throne in Hell to take up residency in Los Angeles. He soon becomes a consultant to the police department while running a nightclub.The series premiered on M-Net channel 102 on January 27 with an age restriction of 13 .Viewers called for the entire series to be removed from the channel on the grounds that it "promoted Satanism".Many threatened to cancel their subscriptions.One viewer, Lydia Mars, saidthe show portrayed "a false picture to our youth".Another, Andre Snyman, said the series promoted Satanic rituals disguised as fun.Julani Angelucci said: "As a Christian I'm 100% offended by this programme .. . It goes against everything the Bible teaches us. DStv, by airing this show, glorifies Lucifer and sells lies to the public by making Lucifer look human and caring ."Though DStv said it took viewers' opinions seriously, it denied the series "glamorised" the devil.Commission registrar Shouneez Martin said cancelling the entire series would be an unnecessarily drastic step.Martin said that, although the series was intended for an adult audience, and was filled with [scenes of] "bloody drive-by shootings, heaps of sexual innuendo, gangster glorification and crude language", it did not advocate hate speech.In its response, the broadcaster said Lucifer was meant to be tongue-in-cheek symbolism."The programme, in a very artistic manner, explores the possibilities of Lucifer leaving his evil ways and doing something positive ... the devil is not glorified at all. The narrative in the programme is purely drama and does not in anyway dispute the contents of the Bible."But following the outcry it decided to reschedule the series. The age restriction has been lifted to 16.Complainants have until today to appeal the ruling...
