Alan Titchmarsh's Jeans Censored on North Korean TV

North Korea blurs British TV presenter's jeans in a bid to combat Western influences.

North Korea's state TV censored Alan Titchmarsh's jeans in a recent broadcast of his gardening show, reflecting the country's strict stance against Western fashion.
Jeans have been banned in North Korea since the 1990s as symbols of American imperialism, with the ban extending to both citizens and foreign media content.
The censorship incident has brought unexpected attention to Titchmarsh, who joked that it gave him 'street cred' among viewers.
Experts link the censorship to North Korea's broader efforts to reject foreign culture and enforce the Reactionary Ideology and Culture Rejection Act.
Despite the censorship, Titchmarsh hopes the calming nature of his gardening show will be well received in North Korea.
