Melon Farmers Watching the censors watch what we watch since 1996. The Melon Farmers were originally conceived by Dave and Phil Martin in 1996.

Phil concentrated on TV censorship whilst Dave published information about film and video censorship. The name was inspired by Alex Cox who was asked to prepare a BBC friendly dub of his Repo Man . With tongue firmly in cheek, he overdubbed 'mo********er' with 'melon farmer'. Censorship surely, but somehow Alex Cox showed that censorship could be defeated via spirit and humour. The Melon Farmer

s were born to serve this end. The Melon Farmers are not a traditional campaigning or political organisation. There are no members, subscriptions or constitutions. Just a bunch of good people who contribute news, information and opinion. The objectives and aims of the Melon Farmers are an aggregation of the many that contribute, nothing more and nothing less. But somehow news, information and opinion makes for a very effective campaign.
