Outrage over student sex show

A German TV station has been slammed for a new reality TV series called "50 in a term" in which the contestants are all students trying to have as much sex as possible.

In the real-life documentary five students both male and female battle it out to see who can bed 50 partners in one term.

The programme has been slammed by both child protection authorities and Church leaders after they discovered it promised to reward the student who managed to reach the magic number of 50 partners first.

The show was set to be aired by Munich-based broadcaster ProSieben from January, but bosses at the station postponed the launch indefinitely in a reaction to the furious responses.

Hans-Jochen Jaschke, auxiliary bishop of the Catholic Church in northern Germany, said: "Love and sex should not be treated like this."

Other critics blasted the planned format as "embarrassing" and "misanthropic".
