Here are the ITV’s commissioning guidelines specifically referring to language. On the last page they discuss “bollocks” where they say...
Half of the terms listed I never knew existed.
Is bollocks considered a swear word on British tv?
If only there was a link to ofcom's research on the matter three posts ago.

Some may be regional and just gained new meaning over the years. Faggot for example is basically a type of meatball quite common here in the Midlands and Wales (apparently) but has its discriminatory roots in the US.
There's probably nothing there that your average secondary school "playground" (for want of a better term) hasn't already heard...

The most offensive thing in that document is the Shatliffed logo on the cover.

Secondary? Try Primary. I remember some disruptive kid calling the teacher a c**t back in Year 3! Apparently a word he learned from his dad.
(Infact, wasn't that a gag in Outnumbered, with the youngest kid overhearing a - less offensive - swearword and using it?)

Saw a few minutes of today’s show, Richard Bacon and Susanna don’t seem to have very much chemistry IMO. Him and Adil Ray are perfectly fine presenters, but neither seem to be the next Piers.
Hopefully some new guest presenters will pop up over the summer.

I doubt it - he'd have made a big fuss about it.
Would anyone want to be the next Piers?
And is that him gone till September?

Quite.
I'm sure that Mr Bacon and Mr Ray (or, indeed, any remotely half-decent human being) wouldn't aspire to be "the new Piers" any more that they would aspire to be, say, the new Katie Hopkins.

Adil or Richard would be a better replacement for Ben rather than Piers.
No, I think Piers and Susanna have one more week to go,

In the case of the former, I wish that meant for his entire media career.

As much as I don't like Morgan's views, he is the main reason GMB is still going. Take him off-air and the show resorts to GMTV style cheesiness.
