A Point of View - Whoop!
Howard Jacobson deplores the fashion for "whooping" as a mark of approval, and sees it as a species of social blackmail.
"The whoop is on an errand to keep things simple. That which strikes audiences as true because it is what they think already, elicits a whoop."
Producer: Sheila Cook.
