.............. that all live programs had a short delay built into them so as to avoid this :confused:

Re: i thought ............
 

You normally find that programs have the delay imposed on them, after something like this happens (if you remember the infamous Shaun Ryder on TFI Friday :) ).

The girls in the office have been talking about this today, but you have to remember that you don't get John Lydon onto a live show, and expect him not to swear - it'd be like expecting Peter Andre to release a single that you'd want to hear :rofl:

Re: i thought ............
 

In this case it's what the viewing public want ( IMHO ) i mean to say, we \ they have voted to keep him in coz he's compulsive viewing and no-one knows what's gonna happen next.... :D well he gets my vote to win :tu:

Re: i thought ............
 

The main show has a 15 minute delay built in, but the evictions (or whatever they call them) are live with no delay.

Don't you all remember Davina on BB "You are Live on Channel 4 - Please do not swear". Watching it during the day, you spent more time listening to the jets and birds tweet than the contestants.

Re: i thought ............

Re: i thought ............
 

i must admit i missed it , its not really the sort of program i like :( , i just cant help remembering the ' other ' interview he did and what happened on it :D :D :D :D :D

Re: i thought ............
 

I believe they had a 7 second delay this time :rofl:

Re: i thought ............
 

Actually, swearing is only one of the reasons about that. The other (and apparently main) reason behind that is that if the contestants mention anyone by name (even a family member), the TV company can be sued. I have to admit, although I can see that what the contestants might say might slander someone, apart from that I don't know what law would be broken. Possibly the DPA (a name would count as a personal detail, and the program would be stored somewhere on tape or disc, so the DPA might apply).

Its the requirement to check for factual accuracy etc, anyone talked about on TV needs to sign a release form. If you start talking about your uncles strange habits with hampsters then Uncle needs to release the footage. Can't release in real time, so you mute it.
