Fireworks Display From London Last Night

[Madgeorge]

Before the fireworks show last night the BBC had a warning on screen to the effect of "warning contains flashing images"

What were the viewers expecting?

I'm surprised I have survived so long with all these modern perils I never knew about!

It's not to protect the viewer, it's to protect themselves from litigation in this compensation culture they we are living in

No ***?

Hahahaha - it's like watching "GPs behind Closed Doors."  The warning is always "may contain content of a medical nature which viewers may find distressing."  Really?? Well who would have guessed it?  Medical problems being discussed with a GP, well I never.
