It's nearly finished and I'm a bit disappointed with this programme. It's a big subject to try and cover in half an hour.

Anyone else watching?

you don't notice the way things are cut until you actually put them on the child, so you could easily miss the 'sexy' shape of a pair of trousers or skimpiness of a top just by looking at it in the shop.

I was amazed that they kept showing overtly sexualised images - billboards, shop adverts, magazines etc - and yet these got no mention at all. Nor did music videos or lads mags.

All in all a bit pointless. And apparently as long as a 14 year old boy doesn't think he's being affected by looking at porn sites then everything's absolutely fine!

I am amazed actually that in their shopping they said they did not find much, i could fill a skip with the crap i see everyday, that i meant to be okay with letting my girls wear

Yes I'm watching. Agree - It covered a lot but not in enough detail. It used too many specific experiences rather than actually convincingly explaining the extent of the problem more globally.
