I think an > explanation is in order, Kath. > This was also referred to (AFAIR) when I asked Steven and Sandra about censorship at the second PG convention. Basically, they were ordered to cut Kenny saying "Bunch of crap" in one episode (Can't remember which now, but it was probably the same one as mentioned above) due to the strict guidelines governing the content allowable in afternoon television (though they pushed those boundaries often enough at other times!). I don't know for certain whether the line was removed at script stage, or they had to excise completed footage from an actual episode, but the inference was definitely the latter. By the way, to go back momentarily to the origin of that thread, it definitely was "but Lynda", as the F-word is still one of the most taboo even on post-watershed UKtv; it very rarely appears in UK-produced programmes and almost never in feature films (except for "cult" screenings on the minority channels). I can't ever see it ever being allowed in any so-called "children's" programme, even a really radical one like PG! Regards, Ade now off to have a look at Vince's home page... _| Adrian E.C.
