Hopefully - much rather we went down that route rather than the other route!

Presumably it's down to whether it is shown in a sexual context or not.

What's all the fuss about???

I remember the golden days of ITV when on MOnday's at 7pm they used to show "Wish You Were Here?" and more or less every other shot was a topless woman on a beach.

Have we become more prudish or, even worse, more so-called PC and Big Brotherish or something over the years

This is not much i know but yesterday on "House Of Horrors" they bleeped out the word f****** but they let the word S*** go right through, and it was about 8:30.

The likes of p**** and s**** are generally acceptable in documentary/factual programmes shown pre-watershed.

French TV shows naked breasts a lot during daytime TV. Well it did in 1998 when I last went in France Laughing

One word..... context!

In the context of this programme a lot of naked bits is perfectly acceptable, it's not gratuitous or titilating, they are there for a reason.

There are very few hard and fast rules about what can be shown when, as long as it can be justified


You put i want to say in a suitable appropriate manner. I fear my version of your response would have been censored to within an inch of it's life or get me banned.

Bet you was good at English at School.

You could just do a quick Google search for 'cock'. I'm sure you'll find plenty - and they all look reasonably similar.
