This was quite an interesting documentary regarding the use of swear words on British TV. Quite interesting really, even if you don't like bad language. I personally would prefer it if it was left out, however I can't help but feel that in a few cases it can't really be helped as we are only human after all! When it is done on purpose for no real reason, well that's a different story.
This show reveals quite a few interesting facts about the use of bad language on TV that I never knew before, like when the first use of the F word was, etc. Certain shows were mentioned along with the statistics of how often each swear word was used in it in a tabular form.
As you can expect from the clips that are used there is quite a lot of swearing, but at least they are presented with a slightly negative manner, like towards the end you can see the swear statistics for this show where the narrator says "Here are our statistics, not that we're proud of them".
Interesting at first I guess, but not something I would want to see too often. Once is probably enough for most people.
