Whitehouse, blue pencil

[firefly]

Mary Whitehoouse's disgust at particular comedies is well known, but how did her views effect drama on tv?

[number8]

And thank god TV companies did ignore her........................the utter arrogance of appointing herself as an arbiter of good taste and guardian of what we should or should not watch was breathtaking. If it's after the watershed, and subject to it not being illegal, then personally I feel anything goes. This is a hackneyed comment on censorship, but nonetheless it remains a perfect riposte to those who would like to police what we can (or more importantly can't) watch.................."if you don't like it, you know where the OFF button is".
