I think you might be a bit old to be watching CBBC.

Not sure what word you mean. Plenty of occurences of the *rap word in childrens TV these days, which I find unacceptable.

depends who it was directed at really. If it was the studio audience of Blue Peter being marshalled into chanting at a naked fat kid who was being poked with sticks, then being played out live to an audience of millions, there may be an issue?
Is that what's happened?

Realman - I rarely watch TV at all nevermind CBBC but I recently told off a 9yr old within a group of 2-10yr olds for singing (what I deemed) a rude song, and was surprised to find he'd heard it on CBBC.

Hmmm... not sure I'd like t**t to be used in kids programmes, since I'd consider it a derogatory term for female genitals.
cr*p though, I'd be perfectly happy with.

What was the context of the song GW?
And was it the same song you told off the 9 year old for singing, or was that something else??

Those of us old enough to remember Fawlty Towers will recall that one of the pseudo-anagrams used on the hotel sign at the start of each episode was 'Flowery Tw&ts'

I'm not sure why the world is going soft on language like this. When I was a sprog I'd have had a smack round the ears for using that word. To me it's unacceptable in kids TV, and it's not necessary - there's far more acceptable words they could use. I accept that swearing is a useful tool at times and in more extreme situations it's fine for adults, but there's no need for introduction in childrens TV.

pretty much your standard british play on words style humour song ending with an insult, I'll find out the exact lyrics for you after School and post them up if want.

Hang on, was it the 9 year old that told you he heard the song on the BBC, or have you since heard it on the BBC or had it verified on the BBC?
May be gulable comes to mind?

TSY here's a link with a clue in it;

(not swear filter evasion - it's the url of the thread so it's been through the swear filter)
[edit] oh, the filter kicks in if you try and link to a thread with a swear word int he title.

Why not? iz it coz U iz a mod?
No because it just wouldn't be allowed. Just because your kids says he heard it on there doesn't mean it's true. Maybe he misheard or god forbid he's the first child ever to lie.

although Paula Yates and Jules Holland always seemed to manage to swear just as they did their live promo for TheTube on Channel 4 just before the ITV news at 5:45.

Not my kid but I'm 100% sure he wasn't lying, didn't mishear and did hear it there.Posted 7 months ago # -

I just don't consider "crap" to be a swear word.
If something is crap then it is a bit rubbish. If someone talks crap then then they are talking nonsense. I find that usage perfectly acceptable and not a bit sweary.
If on children's telly Mr Bloom suddenly announced "Right tiddlers, look after the veggies, I'm off for a big crap. Pass me the paper." then yes it might raise more of an eyebrow as that is clearly the scatological meaning of the word.

He hasn't listened to Bob Flowerdew, 'personal liquid waste' only on the compost heap

Ok, everyone, you've heard the evidence. Now it's time to vote.
Do you think someone sang the 'tw' word on the radio?
