TV progs where the word "c*nt" was used

[jj]

You might like to recall that I quite often ring you from work.
Or possibly, that you are enough to make an angel swear.
Q.E.D.

But you're right: calling a bloke 'a silly cunt' is a relatively mild usage of Anglo-Saxon, and may even be used fondly, as in 'you silly cunt, Magoo'.

The VERY first time the C word was used on BBC1 was in 1970 when David Frost interviewed some hippies on live TV and progressed to asking a guest a question as he seemed a 'Reasonable Chap' to which another guest said 'He's the most UN-reasonable Cunt I know' to which Frost exploded.; He was then barracked for being a dinosaur and out of touch and was squirt3ed with a water pistol. This scene is shown every year on compilations from Channel 4. It still makes me laugh, whereas Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols barracking Bill Grundy with the F-word seems tame.

Cunt has been used on only 2 US shows I know, Larry Sanders where Hank called Larry's wife a cunt, and The Soprano's where Tony uses it every 3 or so episodes

these things are certainly not on TV before 9pm, usually way after that. And even then the subject matter (gangsters, crime, guns, drugs etc) would warn you not to let your 5 year old be in the room anyway.

Shouldn't she be in bed at 11pm?

I (vaguely) remember a situation to do with an episode of Cracker a few years back. I can't remember if it was bad language or a sex scene, but it was in the opening scene of the programme and prompted complaints that it happened "too soon after the 9pm watershed"

Ya gotta laugh sometimes!

it was also used on the stones track where the boys go from emotional rescue in 80
