Thank you PoppyMay for that article, I think it's so stupid how people say that homophobia has got much better yet it's still there even in the form of emails complaining about a television show. Also if the parents are acting like that then there's no surprise that children are brought up like that, if parents just acted as though it was normal and everyone else did, so it was shown on television and parents didn't mind their children watching it then their children wouldn't question it, it's so annoying :sleep:

I may have missed something but didn't someone (sorry, completely forgotten who!
) post the link to show that they'd only had 10 complaints 
or was that not for the bedscene, or have they since had more?

Good point
Thank for the link to the Guardian article Poppy Great article
I think Ofcom had 11 complaints, I don't think we know how many the BBC had...such a shame that there were any complaints But the BBC made a point of mentioning in their statement that they had received a lot of praise for the scene too which is brilliant
Great article

BIB - I think there were less for this scene than for some previous 'gay intimacy' scenes, but for every complaint I bet there were 1000 people saying/thinking the same thing in their living room.
