C4 Falls Foul Of BSC

In its latest report, the Broadcasting Standards Council has upheld complaints against a C4 opera. The Empress showed a graphic suicide before the 9pm watershed. Anglia’s police drama, The Chief, was also criticised for showing a scene terrorising a shopkeeper. Radio 1 FM was censured for the second time for playing a record containing repeated use of an f-word. There were also 29 complaints about advertisements for Tango which were partly upheld; the commercials were screened too early said the BSC.
