Titanic is a classic! A romantic family film!

And for them to be weary of causing any offence by this really shows the state they are in

I really hope this is sarcasm lol


The film is rated PG for god sakes

If you are indeed serious maybe they should edit out the mother and child dead in the sea or jack trembling after he enters rose or the orchestra playing the violins in a frantic sexual manner.

[DigitalSid]

I really hope this is sarcasm lol

I wasn't, no, silly or not, it's pre watershed, the rules whether I agree with them or not are there.

titanic is a load of crap

The film is rated 12 Daniel, Would they really show Jack painting a almost nude Rose in a PG?

Like Sid said it was before the watershed. Either way it's not some conspiratorial yearning to edit out any naughty content under the watchful eye of the evil Ofcom empire FFS.

Fooking hell. Would have happened on any other channel.

Actually i watched this on Channel 4 Christmas time 2004 and NOTHING was edited out.

And it was shown PRE WATERSHED.

And its not some evil Ofcom conspiracy im making up lol The fact is they had 40,000 complaints back in 2007 so are very cautious of Ofcom.

As are any other channels

If it's before the watershed they can't show it.

Did they cut out Rose's tits and all the swearing?

Depends entirely on whether or not you SEE her hit him on the head. I'm not trying to be picky, it's just all about the technicalities. Like when Stella (Phil's girlfriend who abused Ben) jumped off the roof and onto the car, they never showed you her hitting the car, just the sound and his reaction.

I understand your frustration, but you are missing the technicalities.

Basically, certain stuff can't be shown before 9. After 9, anything can be shown unless it's like SUPER bad. (And Big Brother crossed the super bad line a lot, which is why C4 turned into pussies.)

Big Brother is a health programme. It's a documentary about how your health deteriorates over time when trapped in a small house with a bunch of fame hungry freaks. Therefore we should be seeing nudity, violence, booze, rowdy housemates etc. ;)

There are rules they have to abide by, and they broke them by showing Rose's titties.

I think the rules should be taken out of place, too. But they're here.

Your completely missing my point and making it pointless carrying on with this discussion, again, I don't necessarily agree with the rules and I certainly don't agree with complaining every chance you get, but I do agree with obeying the already silly regulations rather than risking them getting tighter and more harshly enforced (by ofcom).

We have loads of rules at Uni but hardly anyone takes much notice of all of them.the only way to get rid of bad and silly rules is to challenge them.

I mean one unseen sex scene in Titanic, a finger being stuck up and a nude painting being done,in this day and age, it's ridiculous to say things like that should be cut out of a film or anywhere else for that matter.

Most students your age were saying the same thing 40 years ago but have since changed their minds.

[Mac Hiavellian]

I always say Ofcom is the killer of British TV. Re the Eastenders when Mo hit Trevor: that was back in 2001. Even Eastenders has toned down a lot or become warped and hyper-realistic compared to what it was. The baby swap story was dark but IMO ill-concieved and OTT anyway but because of all the complaints had to be dusted up as soon as possible. And even the Whitney prostitution story which I think was the grittiest and most realistic EE has been snce about 2005 seemed to have been rushed after the Comic Relief ep.

Quite frankly Eastenders and BB are 2 of my fave shows and although EE was before the watershed they both pushed the boundaries and thrived on being the shows to remember and talk about but because of the non-fans or the biddies that think the world is bad enough as it is they call Ofcom and thus we get rushed, highly edited, OTT, kiddy-friendly sh!t instead. Eastenders is less of a study of the real world, and Big Brother is less of a genuine social experiment.

Am I right in remembering BB used to be broadcast at 10 rather than 9? Perhaps if Ch 5 moved it to a 10pm timeslot there'd be less opportunities for the Ofcom crusaders to worry about?

[joeysteele]

I will bypass the general insullt to Students,most Students are not any different to anyone else.

Bad and silly rules have been challenged and changed or done away with due to those challenges, the watershed rules and even some censorship too needs looking at again.
The content of Titanic contains nothing really offensive,as daniel-lewis-1985 was pointing out,it was plain silly to cut out of an entire film one tiny gesture.
That really shows how stupid the watershed is when it gets taken to that extreme.

BB will thankfully have a better chance of being a 'real' reality series on Channel 5 and I still hope one day to see a complete change in the daft watershed rules.
Most teens, certainly, have TVs in their bedrooms,do people really think they don't watch TV then too.

Rules are being relaxed and changed and abolished all the time, it's time something was done as to programming and a reality should be what it says it is, real.

Good luck again to daniel-lewis1985 in his hopes of being on BB.
