... Yes, its ridiculous as often there is war footage on other channels during the day, like Yesterday where there is mass killings and injuries, so are wars OK if the majority of the people are not known persons? All they need to do for new viewers is warn about it for goodness sake. I'm also a bit unimpressed by the statements you hear before the shots of press conferences of may contain flash photography. well um, its a press conference, what might you expect. Like may things, tv broadcasts should all contain the warning, may contain nuts, usually in charge of the scripts. I also have to laugh when it says later on at night contains strong language and adult themes from the start. Not really that helpful. Embarrassing bodies it seems contains full or partial nudity and scenes of medical procedures, Ah, I'd never have guessed that. Its even more obvious on stations like Really where a similar announcement about medical procedures occurs when the programme has the words surgical, medical, or similar in their titles! I just wonder if there really are such clueless people out there, or if its just some kind of perception by broadcasters that their viewers are all thick as a brick.

It had been modified with a box on the top so that it could receive ITV. My mother recently told me that when she was young, she did not get to listen to the radio as often as she would have liked because there were only 3 sets of headphones which were taken by her father and two elder brothers. -- Michael Chare |
