Censorship on British TV rearing its ugly head...

So the new episode of Red Dwarf has just aired and I can only give it a luke warm review... the editing was shocking, the comedy was sub par by Red Dwarfs own high standards and it just seemed a little forced. Ten years will do that to a series I guess...

What I did notice is after the show, they aired the brilliant Gunmen of the Apocalypse episode (doing the new series no favours at all) and in the episode did something I've started to notice all over British TV at the moment. Censorship.

 


Watching from 5:10 Rimmer accuses Lister of only using the VR simulator for sex. What was missing from tonights episode was the reference to the Wimbledon game he plays where he is "having it off with that jailbail ballgirl" to which Lister replies "she's not jailbait, she's seventeen".

I don't get it... why the fuck has someone gone to the efforts to remove this line from one of the best episodes of Red Dwarf? Last time I checked seventeen was legal in this country, the show was on after the watershed and it seems such a petty revision.

And it's not the only bullshit censorship I've seen recently. I was watching South Park the other night and the word "retard" was removed by muting the audio. It would normally have gone unnoticed but the redneck used it twice in quick succession and it ruined the show, having fuck bleeped by the show, then a third party removing the audio.

It's not even limited to one channel either, I mean South Park is shown on Paramount and Red Dwarf is on Dave, so these decisions are assumably coming from somewhere else. Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill or is this country going back to the Golden Age of overly strict political correctness and repressed sexual thoughts??

In any case I'm hoping the new series of Red Dwarf picks up, and picks up quickly... Craig Charles needs something to rescue him from his Coronation Street shame... why Craig... just why...

You Certainly are not Making Mountains

I have been complaining about this for ages! The worst I have seen is Friends and Scrubs on E4.
They cut absolutely anything which has even the slightest sexual connotation, even after the watershed (I guess because they play the same 2 fucking episodes all fucking day so they can't be arsed to have different ones for before and after).

The worst thing is the editing is shit, you get the set up to a joke, but the end is cut off by abrupt laughter/applause which makes no sense because there was NO JOKE!!!!!

I agree, except..

I totally agree with the censorship issue. I found this page while searching for the script for Polymorph, as the broadcast on Dave censored the word twat (by cutting half the sentence) - not sure if this is Dave, or if that was removed before, but as Dave never show Red Dwarf before 9pm there's no need..

I have to defend E4 though - it's not laziness, but the fact that the 9pm broadcast is one E4+1, and so is just a repeat broadcast of E4 at 8pm. That's pre-watershed, and I don't think we can expect E4 to actually control a time delay channel separately from the original.

E4 Censorship

I’m going to be as blunt and straightforward as I want here. E4 STOP FUCKING CENSORING EVERY LITTLE GOD DAMN, INOFFENSIVE, INSIGNIFICANT, INAPPROPRIATE little fucking joke whether sexual, racial or spiritual, It totally destroys the whole fucking purpose of watching a comedy series when you edit, splice, down out or re-edit a scene that contained the golden fucking material.
WHAT SAD DERANGNED LITTLE FUCKING CREEP, trying to justify his bullshit no fucking need for job title by messing with things that AREN’T and I mean AREN’T that offensive to begin with.

The worst culprits for this... SCRUBS. I’m sort of light sleeper and up most hours of the night, its wells past the 9.00pm cut-off for offensive material, so jokes on all the above mentioned can be included in the broadcast. 12.00 – 1.00 am is normally when Scrubs comes on air and when I’m ready to enjoy some old episodes that were joyful and un-edited years ago, are now so offensive to an audience of people who now access to more violent movies, games, music and media propaganda than ever before are somehow to delicate to hear the word sex or bang that booty.
Words like shit or ass, scenes like a punch or head butt or jokes about god are repeatedly cut and downed out, it destroys the viewing pleasure of the programme and basically turns it into a long FUCKING BORING SHITTY ADVERT. And all that’s done in case some poor bastard who’s more than likely watching a film of blood and guts or playing a game where he chainsaw’s someone in half shouting “die you bastard” as he does it might in E4’s stupid fucking mind find it offensive.

I got great advice for those who do WHY DONT YOU JUST GO FUCK YOURSELF AND WATCH SOMETHING ELSE, if this is offensive to you no one is making you watch it and by cutting out something and sending a message to people it’s bad for you is only going to encourage people to watch more of it to begin with.

Final words for E4 to consider, if you’re gonna treat people in this molly coddle wrap them in warm cotton wool manner your only doing yourselves harm. I will not watch anymore, whatever stupid FUCKING PRICK is doing this all I can say is GET A LIFE AND GET REAL. People have a right to hear, see, watch and listen to whatever they god damn ant to and no one has the right to tell them otherwise, and if they don’t like it well like I said no is forcing them to, just change the sodding channel
