Thought ee tonight was the most harrowing episode I've seen. However why was it on before 9pm? The Xmas day episode was on late and that was a jolly sing song. This harrowing emotional episode on even earlier than normal. Children will have seen that.

Children do watch it, have you not read their posts on here tonight?
;-)
Bravo!
Are you going to replace Rox as the squares resident hot babe Toni?
I hope so! ;-):D
Now no child will want to go swimming after drinking all day
If only Roxy had listened to those Charlie Says adverts.
Or watched this.

Every child of the 70's loved this - well I did as horror fan.
If only she listened to that Charlie instead of the other one
I do like the occasional march in Peru at times
Won't someone think of the children.
Have you never seen 70's kids public information films?
They are great for a horror fan - death, destruction and mayhem of children!
No mercy at all!
Watch this when you can!
Imagine the complaints today!:D

It was a must see episode, so they're going to put it on at prime time.
There was nothing in it at all graphic, come on.
In Emmerdale at the same timeslot, I've seen episodes where a woman gets shot at point blank range with a shotgun. A barn has been on fire and several characters decide to punch and fight each other rather than get out. A House explodes and amidst the carnage, a woman bashes her husband's head in with some rubble, before they both plummet through the floor.
Now that's graphic stuff.
Tonight's EastEnders was implied, but still quite harrowing.
I doubt kids would be too traumatised by it.
The Never Go With Strangers One!!!
One way to get through the soaps Kirk!
They don't give a crud about wimp's.
Aye.
Aye.
Nowt more to add.
They are all so utterly merciless - they were meant to frighten kids and let's face it they all did a bloody good job.
Today the makers would be sued by parents for causing acute mental distress to their little darlings or some such cobblers!
But things were different when I was five or six and watching those!
Such days of innocent fun! ;-):D
It worked though. We didn't dare go near water, train tracks, pylons, strangers etc. Once my teacher stopped and offered me a lift to school when I was 5 so my mum didn't have to take me on the bus. I made an absolute stink crying and wailing because you didn't go with strangers and never got in their car. My best friend's mum had a boyfriend who offered me sweets and I flat out refused - all of the other kids had some but you weren't meant to take sweets from strange men. Actually thinking about it I was scared of everything
I actually loved them!
They got the point across alright!
Surely it's up to parents to take responsibility for what their young children watch and not the BBC. Tonight's episode was very heavily publicised so parents could have recorded it and watched it later if they were bothered about their kids watching it.
The 70s public service broadcasts were terrifying and hikarious in equal measures.
Probably why they stuck in their mind so did their job re stranger danger, water, ice, fire hazards etc.
Re the timeslot,on bank holidays it is less to do with the watershed as bedtimes are assumed to be different with no work, school and more to do with scheduling for ratings.
They couldn't put Sherlock.on in the earlier slot easily. And EE still finished at 8pm which is the same as every Tues and Thurs.
