    You think so? Its been my experience that heavy swearers are simply over compensating for the lack of suitable words to carry enough strength of meaning for what they are trying to say, so they resort to generic swear words to boost poor communication ability.

    Are not Ofcom there to report things to? or is reporting anything being over sensitive? in that case you are saying absolutely anything is acceptable on TV!

    Viewing figures through the roof then. :D

    Oh and BTW I quite clearly heard "*ocking Nora" when I watched it last night.

    Is this an example of what might be described as "going off at half c o ck"?

    Nice "there there never mind" letter coming at the very best then.

    Didn't even think of subtitles.

    Just switched them on and watched it back. Subtitles confirm it, "Cocking Nora".

    Yes they are. So why ALSO start a thread on a forum about it?

    If others heard it and were sufficiently offended to complain then complain they will. Some may complain to OfCOM; some to the BBC (which is to whom your initial complaint should have been addressed, IMO).

    Fortunately the freedom of a public forum allows me to express my opinion even if you disagree, some people may (and do) agree with my view.

    I can't see your point in so vehemently trying to attack my post, what are you trying to achieve? you don't agree - noted.

    And I can't see your point in complaining to OfCOM - when there is a complaints procedure for BBC viewers to use AND starting a thread about it...

    unless you are attempting to whip up support for your complaint.

    I haven't 'vehemently' attacked your post at all - I am merely querying why you are complaining in multiple places about one problem. NOTHING in my post 'attacks' yours! I merely queried your method of complaint - I have quoted my post word-for-word. How does it 'attack' a post of yours?

    I could understand it if you had complained to the BBC and they refused to acknowledge your complaint.

    I don't disagree with your complaint. But nor do I agree with it. It's just that, where there are channels through which a complaint can succesfully be made, and dealt with I really do not understand why you would complain in multiple places about the same thing.

    Apart from anything else the BBC are unlikely to respond on here anyway.

    Utter hysteria from you, OP.
