Sex & Nudity

  • Nudity from the offset.
  • Graphic sexual content in Episodes Two and Five, particularly "The Gush" and "Sex For Houses".
  • Various references to incest, paedophilia, rape and various deviant sexual practices throughout the series.

Violence & Gore

  • Episode One contains a sketch containing a suicide through jumping off a first story balcony forty times.
  • Episode Two contains various more violent sketches, including "The Gush", a disease where porn stars ejaculate their whole body and die and a scene in which a divorced man jumps into a woodchipper. There are a few less graphic violent scenes, include a double of Richard Madeley beating up a cleaner.
  • Episode Three contains one sketch with blood involving a failed robbery.
  • Episode Five contains a sketch set in an acupuncture practice where they use nine inch nails and crucify people.
  • Episode Six contains a sketch (caught on CCTV) set at a children's birthday party, where a disgruntled parent attacks parents and children.

Profanity

  • At least two uses of the word "fuck" in every episode.
  • One written use of the word "cunt" in episode three.
  • Frequent sex references and references to deviant sexual behaviour throughout.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Episode Three's last sketch involves parents competitive for their child to get into the best local school giving children alcohol.
  • A doctor is believed to have prescribed a young child heroin.
  • A few scenes of people drinking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • While brilliant, it is arguably one of the most disturbing television programmes ever made. The whole show is accompanied with a trip hop soundtrack, which adds to the trippy feeling of the show. This lessens the blow somewhat to the graphic content.
  • That being said, the content is very, very graphic and the show has a very dark sense of humour.
  • not for the faint of heart or the easily offended
