Just this moment seen the attached clip on the BBC website. It came with the usual warning ‘Contains Distressing Scenes’. Distressing? I laughed my socks off and have seen more distressing images reading Rupert Bear to my kids.
It’s not just the BBC either I watch a lot of old films and TV series on Talking Pictures TV and am offended by the wholly unnecessary message ‘Contains offensive language and outdated attitudes’. What a load of bollocks. The most offensive thing on TV is the casting of commercials and there’s nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade in my view. Allez Les Gendarmes. You’ve cheered me up no end.
Nominated by Isabel Endv.
More distressing is the vast cover up shipping in a load of Afghans secretly. Bet it didn’t say “distressing scenes” when it showed that. Media was very quiet about it though, given the magnitude of the issue.
22
Well that was a big tease, I was hoping the slashing was the throats of the filthy gimmegrants..
Anything to do with entitled foreign scum always upsets the beeb..
21
Morning Isabel,
I’ve been watching Talking Pictures TV since its inauguration when there wasn’t any such thing as mollycoddling, until one person complained about some ridiculously small thing that was too embarrassing for words, threatening to close them down and that was the end of common sense.
20
I have written to several organisations complaining about the change in the name of Guy Gibson’s dog from “Nigger” to “Trigger”. TP show the film with “Nigger” changed. The cunting RAF have erased the dog’s name from it’s grave at the RAF base that 617 sqdn used. I submitted a FOI request to MOD and made sure I used the word “Nigger” as much as I could in the application. Daft cunts.
15
Just watched it last night on Amazon studio canal, fucking trigger just fuck off.

Four days before Napoleon arrives to have his arse kissed by the entire British Establishment and lo and behold, Inspecteur Plod finally does what we’ve paid him 3/4 billion to do.
Once.
Never to be repeated.
And purely by chance a BBC film crew just happens to be there to record it all. They even manage to select a dinghy with a few children on board.
‘They were in danger’ says the report – on a beach in 2 feet of water.
How fucking stupid do they think we are?
I’m surprised the MOD didn’t email advance warning of the pantomime to the traffickers.
28
I’m offended at pööfters snogging and slurping each others faces off in TV programmes. Where’s the fucking warnings for those🤮
40
You and the rest of us normal folks Jill. Thus the backlash to that appalling advert for Cadbury’s creme eggs.
28
Morning Jill,
It was the same for me when Noddy and Big Ears were attacked and tied to trees by wolligogs. Not a dickybird or a warning. If it’d been the other way round, there’d have been hell to pay.
24
The episode of Bill and Ben when they rolled up Little Weed into a joint and smoked her left me traumatised for years.
Needless to say, no bloody warning given.
14
In the olden days the BBC routinely banned the playing of tracks on their music programmes which had too strong a hint of sex about them. Remember the days of “Auntie BBC”? The effect of course was to make such records a commercial success. When a film is preceded by a warning message about nudity, outdated attitudes, etc., it causes me to think it may be worth watching.
And when on the news they warn that I may find the following video from the Levant distressing I turn up the sound and move closer to the screen.
18
I get some cracking drone strike footage courtesy of the IDF.
Nothing cheers me up more than seeing islamic terrorists being blown to smithereens, with the white / hot filter showing bits of Muhammed and Ahmed being deployed all over their postcode . in one video, you can clearly see a head bounce tens of meters across a field.
Heartwarming stuff, I’m sure you will agree and no warning message required judging the thf amount of thumbs up points these videos get.
19
Yet, song lyrics are certainly more explicit and offensive today more that ever, yet that doesn’t apparently offend people, but put a video on the BBC news site from gaza with a bit of claret on the pavement and there’s distressing images warnings everywhere.
11
That goes back to the 1930s when they banned Cole Porter’s Love For Sale. The title enough was probably too much for Lord Reith, but the opening verse makes it very clear what they mean:
When the only sound, in the empty street,
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet,
That belongs to some distant cop, I open shop
When the moon too long, has been gazing down,
On the wayward ways of this wayward town,
My smile becomes a smirk – I go to work.
Written in 1934 and in 2025 Angela Rayner’s sig tune. He got the smirk right.
10
Blimey Arfur, do we have the same operating system? It tickles me no end when the latest atrocity happens in Gaza. Well boo hoo. Hamas FAFO. Cunts.
14
I remember when filmfour first began and it wasn’t necessary to warn members who paid to see the blood and guts, along with all the sexual shenanigans it and we could muster. It was heaven, until they went free to air, when all the mardarses stopped normality.
13
This will fucking distress you…🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/15/afghans-sue-ministry-of-defence-1-billion-data-leak/
This country is totally run by woke lefty liberal cunts.
We need a revolution to clear the whole Westminster cesspool out and start again..🔥
23
Anyone else remember the warning triangle at the top of the screen on late night channel 4 films back in the 80s?
Apparently, a warning of nudity and graphic sex.
Very useful for a young lad like myself in my early/mid teens.
Mind you, most of it wasn’t worth a wank.
Much like today’s trigger warnings will attract the perpetually offended, looking for ‘outdated language’, whatever the fuck that is.
And who decides what offends and what doesn’t?
Fucked if I know.
Although, I do know that whoever it’s is, they’re thinking the exact opposite of 99 percent of the population.
20
That’s right FMC, the earlier language to be crippled is much more understanding, it makes me weep even at the thought of it and makes me want to donate all my savings.
6
I remember the red triangle and was mostly unimpressed by the content not worth a wank.
2
“May contain distressing scenes”?
That would be every day of British politics then.
What a hive of scům and villainy.
Good morning.
16
Warnings before old films are crucial.
For example, many scenes in ’50s & ’60s films depict cunts smoking. This is completely unacceptable. If I was in charge of broadcasting I would decree all ciggies be airbrushed out.
Same with blacks in adverts. The offence they cause is incalculable!
Speaking of blacks, it would also be helpful if porn sites issued warnings before one gets too settled: “Warning! This film may contain scenes of blacks doing da white women”. Would probably be a great help with my inadequacy issues.
This site should have a warning too: “May contain far-right deviants and weirdos”.
10
After I’ve watched those old films you mentioned Shit-cake Baker, I get this warm glow when finding out what they died of, especially the yanks having smoked their extra long fags after short lives.

Sammy
You ever watched ‘A ghost goes west”?
1935 starring Robert Donat.
From Withington in Manchester Robert Donat.
The castle is Eilean Donan in the Scottish Highlands also used in the film Highlander.
My daughter is talking about getting married there.
8
Only 39 Steps, Mis. Where a lot of smoking went on.
By the way, my son’s married umpteen times.
4
If she does MNC, please will you dress as The Kurgan, challenge her Husband to “the Quickening” and keep shouting at him “There can be only one!” the whole wedding.
5
I have been watching repeats of Jokers Wild on Rewind TV which ran from 1969 to 1974 with Barry Cryer, Ted Ray, Alfred Marks, Ray Martine, Les Dawson, John Junkin etc and they virtually all smoke like chimneys while telling jokes about fat mother in laws.
The Z gen would be shitting themselves. It’s on every weekday .

Hitler TV ….
” The following programme contains scenes of the vigorous Dirlewangering of illegal immigrants, which some viewers may find thoroughly delightful ”
Fuck Off
13
They should film the illegals walking backwards to the boats, then we only need to show it backwards when fucking them off.
10
Just the ticket..
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ceq7d45v5v3o
Distressing scenes?
Good,get to fuck.
10
So now their air con units are being sabotaged as well as their pagers, lol.
Electrical goods exploding all over the shit hole soon.
They’ll be having an amnesty day on dildos next,as Rampant Rabbits start blasting off like SpaceX rockets and heading for Baghdad.
13
I was watching Dunkirk the other week. (The proper black and white one. Not the 2017 shit).
When John Mills enquired, ‘Got a fag Mike?’
Now, I know that he was asking for a cigarette, but 0.001 percent of the population would assume he was using a derogatory term whilst asking for a rent boy. (Sorry. Male escort)
Thank god there was a trigger warning at the start to cater for these leftie degenerates.
15
There is a programme called Botched.
Two plastic surgeons, who I am sure are excellent at their work, act like fucking third rate comedians while putting right operations previously done.
The warning before the programme and after each commercial break is……
“This programme contains scenes of nudity from the outset”.
No it fucking doesn’t.
The doctors often do tit surgery.
The tits are always completely blurred out.
As is every fucking thing else.
You don’t even get to see an arse crack.
12
Hitler TV can be found on Freeview Channel 88
LOL

Kids tv shows from the 1970s carry warning signs now.
Wurzel Gummidge starring Jon Pertwee was for 5-12yr olds but nowadays results in modern children needing gender reassignment and the parents wetting the bed.
Little Johnny went to school and self identified as a scarecrow in his compulsory gender studies lesson.
His purple haired teacher mz Grimm cried so hard her Facial piercings rusted.
Shed earmarked Johnny as one of the leading trans girls in class.
She had to be calmed down with a cup of tea and a nice slice a cake.
12
Ps Johnnys parents have won a landmark legal case costing the taxpayer £45000.
Johnny now can attend school with straw stuffed in his rags,
Has a little robin redbreast in his shirt,
And gets special lessons from the Crowman.
Hes a specialist in the field.
I’ll get me coat.
12
Wurzel Gummidge was the best programme on TV Mis.
Fucking hilarious!
Una Stubbs was brilliant as Aunt Sally.
I watch re-runs when I need cheering up.
1
Actors and Extras,
BBC journalist, camera crew, selected French police and some scumbags paid to pretend to get into a boat.
What an absolute disgrace
The ‘taxi’ boats never get that close to the shore, always stay in water above waste height, that thing was only a few feet from the beach.
As for the fucking Afghan bullshit, ‘data leak’ my fucking arse, all these cunts were always likely to come here and picked up from Pakistan before the Ps pushed them all back into Afghanistan.
If any of the cunts get compo that will be the end of what little trust was left in government of any colour.
Just sit back now and wait for the inevitable stories of Afghan cunts sexually assaulting young girls, or maybe that will be hidden under the carpet like the grooming gangs
12
I will have probably mentioned this already, but I worked with fucking loads of interpreters in Afghanistan because we had to keep sacking them for being shit at interpreting, too unfit to keep up, lazy as fuck and, at worst, borderline insurgents
if we found a good one, we’d do our best to keep them but only to find out that they were wanted for thievery at another PB.
I suspect if we couldn’t even tell who had been employed by ISAF before, Terry Taliban won’t be able to find a collaborator on the basis of a spreadsheet they can barely read, so I doubt every cunt is in danger.
and the numbers don’t add up. what faith do I have that the bleeding heart politicians won’t admit sacked interpreters who, whilst technically once “working for ISAF”, we’re dismissed for threatening to behead us for being infidels (true story)?
The fucking state of this country

Good and worthy nom. Often clicked on a news story stating ‘contains distressing scenes ‘ and st the end of the video, I was really wondering exactly what the more sensitive younger types – and by that I really mean anyone under around 45 nowadays- actually would find distressing? Mind you, they’ve stopped showing Tom and jerry, so I dare say showing someone breaking a finger nail would be found distressing for some.
10
Talking Pictures gets ridiculous – “Contains offensive language” because somebody says “bloody” in a 1958 film. I was saying much stronger words in 1958. “Contains distressing scenes” because somebody got a haymaker in 1951. Just after you have gone through that fucker playing the organ forever playing I Love You And Don’t You Forget It.
10
All bollocks
5
‘Scenes of smoking; language, and injury detail’, ‘scenes that some viewers may find offensive’, ‘If you have been affected by anything contained in this programme contact our helpline..’ , ‘drink responsibly’, ‘take a time out’. Why bother to show the shit/offer the service if you are so concerned you might upset people? Total hypocrisy.
I remember when you would be able to get twenty fags for a couple of bob, get pissed, lose your shirt at the bookies, then go to the flicks to see the ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre’. No one gave a fuck whether you were getting cancer, would have a headache or no money for the rent. It was called taking responsibility. We have gone backwards.
Good morning, everyone.
12
The excellent footage of the Syrian Ministry of Defence(?) being violently wiped out by IDF missiles yesterday was very distressing for the evil jihad cunts inside no doubt.
Fucking Good Show.
Keep at it Israel.

Agreed UT 😂😂😂

Ive got a book.
Yes thats right.
I don’t normally approve of books, theyll turn you into a speccy Charles Hawtry type..
But this one was a gift when I was a little boy.
Its a Tarzan annual.
1973.
It depicts Tarzan stabbing a wolf with a big knife.
Behind him is cheeta the chimp snapping a wolfs neck.
Proper boys stuff👍
Inside it has animal facts and how shows African tribes as savages with mudflap lips.
Tarzan is deeply in tune with the wildlife of Africa,
It shows this by him kicking fuck out of most of it,
Indeed chucking a gorilla that looks suspiciously like David Lammy over a cliff.
Nowadays this kids annual would be Far Right.
Kids would wet the bed for life.
Teachers would faint.
Tory ministers would spew over their rentboys shoulder
And lessons would be learnt.
UNGOWWA.
14
I had a 007 annual from the 1970’s that contained pictorial instructions on how to disable someone with a chop to the throat or punch in the back of the neck.
8
I set items to be recorded every day. I then fast forward each programme to the precise second its going to begin, then I won’t have the foggiest of annoyance of what went beforehand, then enjoy in peace of mind.
5
Distressing scenes, shit floating in the channel being scooped up by the RNLI and Border(?) Force then dumped off at Dover where it is given a better life than people here that work for a living.
12
I hate that fucking dyke bitch in the RNLI adverts my great uncle would spin in his grave he raised 1000s for the traitor cunts.
5
There should be a warning when there is any mention of Starmer!
It disturbs me, I get hallucinations of him hanging off a meat hook, being pecked by crows.
12
This is an image that appeals to us.
7
So called kids show ‘Pipkins’ needed a fucking health warning with that weird doll thing ‘Hartley Hare’ creepy looking thing.
And that Sandi Tossvikg creature in a children’s TV show set in a house I think called Number 37 or something… weird and degenerate.
4
I agree with this nomination and I’m another who doesn’t need the on-screen warnings before films are shown. ‘Outdated attitudes’? What the fuck is that? Grow up.
3
Dragon’s Den would be so much more watchable if they’d say “I’m out because your idea is shit and you’re a cunt”.
