Last night I recorded the start of the new series "Wonders of the Universe", presented by Brian Cox, on my Humax HDR from BBCHD.
I noticed on the program info, highlighted in red:
"Contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting, some strong language, and some violent scenes". It also had the G flag set in the EPG.
I thought this seemed a bit strange, and my mind ran riot. Was he going to say "the universe is a f*****g big place"; or beat another cosmologist who had a different view of the big bang to a pulp on-camera? Or perhaps the news that the sun is going to eventually blow up into a supernova, or the heat-death of the universe in X trillion trillion etc. years would come as a disturbing fact to people who would otherwise jam the BBC switchboard in protest?
Anyway I watched the programme and I either missed something offensive or the message was there in error. Unless the "violent scenes" were those of dying stars destroying themselves? Weird! Did anyone else see this?
