"...programmes that are directly marketed to adults..."

But this programme wasn't "marketed". This wasn't a pay-as-you-watch or subscription channel. It was one we all finance through the licence fee. And that means that when it is misused it provides ammunition for those who would want to do away with the licence fee system, and I think that would be disastrous.

As for the assumption that people who have protested are going by hearsay, because they didn't listen to the original broadcast, significant bits have been repeatedly broadcast since, and carried on YouTube.
