Heroic: Florence Nightingale has been branded neurotic and sexually repressed
The BBC has been accused of demeaning Florence Nightingale by labelling her as a ‘manipulative, neurotic and sexually repressed woman’.
Academics have complained to BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten about a series of documentaries that belittle the nurse.
They also criticise BBC ‘sexism’ in referring to Miss Nightingale by her first name.
They say a documentary on Charles Darwin for example would never call him ‘Charlie’.
The academics from University College London and the University of Manchester also attack claims that the nurse inadvertently killed troops during the Crimean War through medical error.
They called on the BBC to withdraw from shops copies of the programmes, which were screened some time ago and are now on sale as teaching aids.
A BBC spokesman said the programmes involved a ‘broad range of sources, giving a broad range of opinions’.
