In thinking the word 'slut' isn't appropriate for TV programmes shown at 7:30pm?

ITV, The Royal.

God I'm turning into Mary Whitehouse!

Depends. If it meant a slovenly person then that's OK, if used to mean someone was a tart that's different.

A stepfather had got his stepdaughter pregnant, she told a doctor that the stepfather had said he'd go after her sister, doctor went to take the other children to safety, hit the stepfather, stepfather then said 'she's a slut, just like her mother'. It's 7:30!!!

Forget about the use of the word 'slut', that's one hell of a nasty storyline for 7.30pm. Mind you, I guess stuff like that frequently happens in EE, Corrie & doubtless Hollyoaks too!

write in and complain

its certainly not ideal but probably no worse than anything children will hear walking down the street these days!

YANBU I hate the way they are sneaking this stuff in. Ready is right that they might hear it walking down the street but that doesn't mean it's OK to put on tele.

Hang on, that's the storyline and you're upset about the word 'slut'?! If people are happy to let their kids watch a show with that type of storyline surely they will accept the word 'slut' as being ok because it is in context.

Ds wasn't watching it but he was in the room IYKWIM. He would have heard the word but not know about the story line. It's all OTT for 7:30 sunday viewing really.
