BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / the very free British media

So cool:

-you can say f@#$ you on live chat shows as demonstrated by Martin Many a time
-you apparently can repeatedly say sh@# up several times in one sentence as demonstrated by John in His Last Vowel.
-you can run an entire scene with a very obviously naked female as demonstrated by Irene in Scandal.
-you can stick up your middle finger as demonstrated by Dr Watson in Empty Hearse (though admittedly he had gloves on & it was for a medical procedure)
-you can be combing the White Pages for people with surnames like bullocks (Graham Norton Show).

I'm not saying that Australian or American media is that much better but British media seem to have more freedom. Nor do they bother about political correctness.

It must be such a great place to be in for people in the entertainment industry

Same in Germany, although we don't usually say the f-word that freely.
