Yeah!
the 9 0'clock watershed is a joke, I think they should show what they like, after the kids are in bed.

What exactly are you referring to? If it was some show about glorifying the killing of kids wouldn't you want it to be banned?
In a civilised society it would be great to have a free press however, sadly, people in this country are still to stupid to be able to watch a program with a critical eye. our culture is too gullible and has a deep mob culture attitude.
Be grateful we have the BBC, in many countries it is seen as the best for informative, unbiased news. Would you like to watch US news where everything is sensationalised? Where proper news would be reported on as if it was an article from a gossip magazine?
We in Britain have an extremely free press, how would you think the likes of the Sun and Daily Mail write such drivel and make up stories on a 'quiet' day?
Where in the world would you be allowed to watch a live autopsy on TV, or a documentary on bestiality? If anything we have to much crap on the TV, who the hell needs quizmania?! lol

What do you mean? Does the government monitor what you watch? Or is it someone who has parental controls of the TV? Here in the US the only way someone can stop us from watching something is if they OWN the TV and put blocks on certain things. If we own our tv and buy our own cable, we watch whatever the hell we want. I thought it was the same in England?

The fact that you moan about what you want to watch shows your immaturity. We have a duty to protect the younger generation. Also i dont want to watch every pornographic, violence filled piece of c**p that comes out. We have a hard enough time finding a decent programme to watch than having other rubbish on. Get yourself Sky and watch your programmes on that.
