Programme
warnings
I suppose we’re all accustomed to
warnings before programmes are broadcast – ‘contains language that some
listeners might find offensive,’ ‘includes flash photography,’ ‘some viewers
may find the content of this programme upsetting,’ and so forth.
The other day I came across a
different warning – ‘This programme contains scenes of surgery and strong
language.’ SURGERY??
My husband was glad of the
warning – he’s rather squeamish – but there was very little to be concerned
about. There’s much worse in Silent Witness and CSI!
