Fuck it.

I did lodge a complaint with the BBC about Waters of Mars. It wasn't suitable family viewing, end of. I've got kids and I don't want this kind of shit from a kids' show.

I haven't seen the latest ads for WOM on BBC America, but I never got the impression that that channel's aim was at any kind of children's programming, so maybe it's supposed to be "adult" fun with the Doctor!

If its adult fun, then why did they find it necessary to fuzzy out 2 seconds of JB's bare bottom in CoE. That's nothing new for American shows at the appropriate time slot.

Looks like they are a bit confused about who they are or what programs they are showing. Can't say I'm surprised.

I didn't mean that kind of adult fun. ;) BBC America has always censored things, sometimes inexplicably, even though it's a cable channel. I just don't think they consider Doctor Who a "kid's show", but another one of its sci-fi/genre shows.

-- Me neither. It's been a real head-scratcher over the years. At least, they're finally catching on to their viewers wanting to see the entire episodes and not half cut to fit into a time slot. There's some progress.

I think BBCA has surprised itself and done better than it had anticipated. in my more cynical moments (of which there are legions)I like to imagine them being asked what the source of their ad revenue increases were and having to explain the pretty much nonstop ads for 'male enhancement' they were running for so long. Those and 'sham- wow' pitches were staples of their ad rotations for quite some time.
