Default What word was censored?

Early in the show, when Danny and Marc were play fighting on the couch, Marcs head bonked Harrys and she said something that was censored. Later in the bedroom, she referred to Marc (I think) as a c word and it wasn't censored. What word, British or other, is worse than that? Besides the n word, but I can't see her having said that. Any idea, out of pure curiosity? Sorry if this has been addressed, I didn't see it.

I assumed it was the c word but I found it very strange considering it followed right after a very offensive language warning so was baffled as to why they bleeped it. Sounded too short to be mother****er and then as you say she only went and said **** in the bedroom again later.

I have a feeling there are extra rules about the use of very strong profanities in an aggressive manner towards someone directly, so maybe that's why. idk it was stupid anyway

Was the first one before half 9? I'm sure I read somewhere that the C word has to be well after the watershed. Also, I dunno if there's a certain number of times they're allowed to use it per episode.

The C and T words have always been bleeped out I believe, even after the watershed.

What does 'after the watershed' mean? I'm Canadian and that phrase means nothing to me, sorry. Same with 'she does my bins in'. I love the differences in language but can't always pick up on all of them...tho it's brilliant to be learning

Curfew for television. Television shows aren't allowed to include things like violence or bad language until after a certain time when the kiddies have gone to bed.

No, the 'C' unt word is (in the UK at least) treated the same as any other post-watershed (after 9 pm) word although it does tend to be frowned upon more than most 'swear' words.
By the 'T' word do you mean Twat 'cause i can't think of any others. People in general don't treat it with the same contempt as the 'C' word but i think it does fall into the 9 pm category for TV.

I noticed Harry use the C word to describe Mark once but i didn't notice them bleeping or muting a word out. Must have missed that (not surprising really with the lack of attention i've been paying to the show of late!).

..I didn't see this but if it was the 'c' word then could it have been 'clothe'/put some clothes on and Harry censored it herself....

The C and T words are both different words for a vagina, that's why they are frowned upon. I'm not sure how it works though and on what basis they are bleeped out.

I've heard the C word used repeatedly this season by Marc and Jade so I don't believe it will have been bleeped out. Maybe it was preceded by the word Irish or something like that which gave it a different context.

Two Pints was only allowed one "f-bomb" per series, and I think some shows only allow one c-bomb per episode, and I guess they had to bleep out one or the other of the two times it was (possibly) used.

I think they're only allowed to use it once per the hour, so I think it was bleeped because the second one was used in a calmer way
