This Morning
is a weekday live magazine programme broadcasting a mixture of
lifestyle, health, music and light entertainment items to a daytime audience. Eight
viewers complained to Ofcom that a fashion item on kaftans was accompanied by the
song “Smile” by Lily Allen which featured the lyric “…but you were **** that girl
next door”.

The annual Glastonbury Festival was broadcast live and in recorded highlights on
BBC2 over the weekend of 22, 23 and 24 June 2007. One viewer contacted Ofcom
stating that he was concerned that whilst watching the highlights coverage of
Glastonbury at approximately 17:50 on Saturday 23 June 2007, a member of the
band, The Arctic Monkeys, said “Now **** come on now”. The complainant
considered that this language could have been edited out.

There was also a complaint about
Captain Scarlett
for excessive violence!!!, and one about
My Parents are Aliens
for Sex/Nudity!!.
and Finally a complaint about the
Rugby League Challenge Cup Final
for Sex& Nudity??.
When I read these reports sometimes I think some of those viewers are either sheltered or are smoking some dodgy drug.
Though the complaints about pre-watershed broadcasts of language many would find obscene are obviously understandable. Many of us here might not find such language unacceptable, but many others will, and the watershed is there for a reason.
Be grateful we don't live in the US - where the FCC nannies terrestrial broadcasters (but not cable/satellite) into keeping almost anything that would be considered "adult" (in language or nudity terms) by anyone off-air at ANY time - whether it has any artistic justification or not...
