Censored Trousers
North Korea censors Alan Titchmarsh's trousers on BBC gardening show
North Korea is known to illegally stream western TV shows including Premier League football, and on Korean Central Television it recently aired an old episode of the BBC programme Gardening Secrets.
In the scene Mr Titchmarsh is kneeling in a garden, tending to plants, when the blurred effect is applied to his legs.
The censoring is said to be linked to Kim Jong Un's regime's efforts to restrict Western fashion and culture in North Korea, NKNews reports.
Blue jeans are said to be a sign of the West, according to the outlet, and have been essentially banned since the 1990s.

My dear sister once reminded me that our parents were so religious, that we weren't allowed to wear jeans on Sundays...
This is actually true!
Scrobs - sounds like a sound rule to me, not many people manage to look good in jeans!
Jeans on a Sunday? Lord no. The thing is to swagger around in a kilt.
dearieme - years ago I came across a survey claiming that people who do that are perceived as more trustworthy than most.
