… and so I have watched your program for years and have always enjoys it. In fact it’s one
of the few programs which is also suitable for children and I know that many families like ours
watch it together. However, last week I was very disappointed and also very angry that no warning
was given at the beginning of the program that what was going to be shown was unsuitable for
children. It is quite unnecessary to show close-up pictures of people who have been murdered. I
know it’s not real blood but children don’t always realize this and my children were very
frightened. There is also no need for people to use all sorts of bad language. Children very quick
copy what they hear and swear words and such like are the very things parents don’t want their
children to use. Newspapers and news programs are full of all the terrible happenings in the world
and I think we can expect television to provide us with an escape from reality. I don’t know
whether you actually enjoy unpleasant and shocking scenes but since last week I know that I for one
will watch the series again and I hope that more viewers like me will feel the same and simply
switch off their sets.
