Personal Quote:

I do think the prevalence of bad language such as the F-word is a little bit unrestrained. I am not calling for it to be banned but I don't think we take enough care over the use of the F-word and similar words. It used to be that you had to get very senior sign-off to use that word in any show. I am not sure what the rules are these days... See more »
