The 19:57 news bulletin has appeared in the EPG as BBC News and Regional News (even on BBC One HD [England] where there is no regional news). Not the first time this has happened, but it is quite rare. The description for EastEnders still ends with 'The BBC News' though. It does not show up in Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

On Freeview 302 (the old SD Olympic stream ) has "This is BBC One Scotland HD" is scheduled here in the Granada region anyway.

Ah same here. Flicking up to 303, is broadcasting '303' top on a dark grey background, but it's not red button MPEG.

Anyone know, off the top of their heads, what counts as swearing and what doesn't for the watershed these days? There was a "piss off" and a "tits" on Casualty last night, which sounded a bit incongruous.

Casualty doesn't show on Tuesdays, Holby City airs on Tuesdays.

I don't think "tits" has ever counted as swearing. It's usually all about context - C4 have been getting away with the phrase "pissy pants" on multiple occassions lately as part of the Hollyoaks bullying storyline. Usually only the Daily Mail care.

Having been a regular viewer of drama programmes for a number of years, in my opinion more swearing is happening before the 9pm watershed. I'm not against it at all, as long as the audience is warned in Radio Times or other listing magazines/EPGs, but I have noticed a change over the years.

I like them both, and to be honest, Holby City was created as a Casualty spin-off, so there is some similarity. Smile
