“Ofcom assessed a number of complaints about bullying in Big Brother and has decided they do not raise issues under our rules warranting further investigation,” said the spokesperson. “We were satisfied that Channel 5 had broadcast clear and appropriate warnings about the potentially offensive content, and that it intervened in heated exchanges and situations at appropriate times. “We also took into account audience expectations for this reality format and the fact that the series was broadcast after the watershed.” |

lolling at the number of different complaints. I've never complained to Ofcom and probably never will, I don't get it at all. It's like waving your fist at the moon. I don't consider it to be my job to police a broadcast network, they have lawyers on the job who know far more about what's acceptable than I do. Let them do their highly paid jobs, and I'll get on with mine, which is gawping unthinkingly at this bit of trash telly.

There is plenty of warnings at the start of every show, if you are easily offended then don't watch.

Those people must do it out of boredom, it makes them feel self-righteous or some other bollocks.

Then people wonder why we don't have live feed now. Ofcom would need to quadruple the amount of staff if they ever brought it back.

After 16 years, people moan about bad language on big brother. Very silly. It does air after watershed and we could not be given any more warning at the start of each episode.
I bet its all dried up old codgers complaining The sexual orientation discrmination amuses me as I don't recall any of that sort of thing happening this season. |
