Mary Whitehouse was notorious as the figurehead of people who appeared to go out of their way to find television to offend them - I always wished i could have a list of the times and says she watched, it always seemed to pass me by!
In the dramatisation of her life - she was played by Julie Walters - Mary held up a placard with her name for her fledgling organisation - Clean Up National Television or ... yes, her husband did suggest she think of something else!
To my mind, then and now, MW represented the very worst example of someone who believes that it is her given task to make moral choices for the rerst of the population, and that no-one else but she and a chosen few like-minded people,possess sufficient integrity to see the depravity she finds, but remain unaffected by it.
