I was rather surprised when I heard this the other day on Coronation Street. I didn't think it was at all acceptable to swear nearly 90 minutes before the watershed?

Because there are far more controversial activities go on in Coronation Street than a couple of uses of a commonly-used swear-word. |

You misunderstood me. I was asking if it was acceptable, not if I personally accepted it.

i personally think children under 12 should'nt be watching soaps like corrie and EE in the first place. H&A and neighbours would be more suitable! plus using 'bastard' had some realism. what would you say if ur partner etc had an affair.

H&A is definitely a teen if not younger soap. hence the reason most storylines revolve alround young people. Cassie, Ric, Matilda,Henry, Max, Tash, Hayey, Kim, Kirstey, Jade, Kane, Robbie, .........

Well, I don't watch H&A, but you are completely wrong about Neighbours!

I agree that complaining about swearing is pathetic, when there are far worse things shown in soaps, but I don't think two people showing affection towards each other is one of them

So i can't see how it can possibly be aimed at kids That Air Resistance is all you need to rest your case

I have to agree - Neighbours was my first soap, then Home and Away...and when we watched it, Neighbours was on at lunchtime and then at 5.35 which was when we caught it, just after Newsround...

We had no TV in my house when I was a kid. Didnt get one untill I was 13. Before that I would watch H&A and Neighbours in a friends house after school but would not have been allowed to watch Easternders or Corrie. Then when we got the TV my Mam would watch Eastenders and I was allowed to watch that with her. I was never allowed to watch any other soap at home. now that I have my own house I watch - Neighbours, home & Away, emerdale, Eastenders, coronation street and somethimes sink so low as to watch Fair City
I would agree that H&A and Neighbours are for younger audiences. |
