If anything I think the opposite is happening. Adult shows (9pm onwards) are putting more swearing, violence, drugs and sex in. Even pre-watershed shows are starting to do this now.
I wonder if he was thinking about the latest (US) episode of True Blood in his critique - I can't think of any current UK programmes emulating sex/drugs/swearing to the same extent as that did?
