Turn off the swear filter!

Hi,

Quality stuff. That interview was the beginining of the end of Bill Grundy's career. It was a strange interview. It seems that Bill may have had a few drinks. He seemed to want the Sex Pistols to swear. I remember that an outraged viewer kicked his telly in when he heard the swearing.

Here is an interesting view on the event from Glen Matlock.

At least we don't have to worry about the V Chip settings although mine is bigger than 13 inches

 

I saw a documentary about swearing in tv and radio. The first time the F word was uttered the BBC had many of post bags worth of complaints piled up. The offender actually received death threats . In Parliament one Conservative M.P. called for him to be hanged !

How things have changed today. For example, does anyone watch Deadwood ?

 

And does anyone watch the excellent Modern Toss on C4? Mr Tourette, Master Signwriter is a favourite of mine.
