LONDON/NAGASAKI (Kyodo) A BBC program that joked about a Japanese atomic-bomb survivor has not only angered other hibakusha and their supporters but also made them ask the question: Do younger generations of Japanese know enough about the terror of nuclear arms?
"QI" quiz show host Stephen Fry and guests drew laughs from its celebrities and the audience in December when they talked about Tsutomu Yamaguchi, who by fluke survived the atomic bombings of both Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
Fry described the Nagasaki native as "the unluckiest man in the world." The broadcaster and the program's production agency apologized following a protest by the Japanese Embassy in London.
