That's because they are scared of a fine from the ridiculous control freaks at Ofcom who have produced a broadcasting code that broadcasters cannot fully understand because it's impossible to read the minds of the nutters at Ofcom.....
Ofcom produced a new broadcasting code about three years ago. The consultation of which I participated. When i say they are nutters it's because without any doubt they are. Ofcom is supposed to be independant but in reality they are just another tenticle of the government....The Government pulls the strings and the government cronies at Ofcom jump......
So to be on the safe side CH4 censor....Even after 10pm...

OK, thanks. Just one of those random thoughts lol
God, Ofcom do sound pretty insane

Here is an example of their insanity. There have been some films passed by the BBFC which include hard core scenes. Some of which have been shown on the Sky tv movie channels. However if one of the dedicated soft core adult channels were to show any hard core ofcom would and indeed has fined them many thousands of pounds for showing exactly the same degree of sex as films that have appeared on Sky who never got fined... three years ago a channel was fined £50,000 pound for a hard core sex image that lasted a few seconds.
If you go to the Ofcom site you can read about what they decide and how much they fine when broadcasters go beyond their rules....Not an easy site to navigate though.....
