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! ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0GyRz_lOQA 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. |

If people don't want kids to watch then either record it and watch it later or watch in another room to your children. It's not like no one knew what was going to happen. As I was spending time with my young child rather than making him watch EE or dumping him in his playroom while I watched it I Sky plussed it for later - there are loads of ways to watch whenever you like these days. I've never made my little one sit through EE as there's been a lot worse than that - Fatboy being squished, Lucy's murder, death, destruction and every time Kim opens her mouth 😉. Then again I too am a child of the 70s and we had to watch things like this - https://youtu.be/6QzrG9h_Y4Y

Yes. We weren't protected (or cosseyted) at all were we. And I don't think it hurt us psychologically. Whilst the watershed did exist in principle, they really didn't warry too much. The attitude was that it was the parents responsibility and if they didn't want their kids seeing it, they didn't have it on. As that meant the parents wouldn't see it ever as no recorders were around, most parents did watch and just dealt with kids questions or upset about what they'd seen. Or sent them to bed early with a book! And of course, no tv's in kids rooms then.
