I doubt many people took much notice if it - in my own household when the kids were <18 I and the wife decided what was suitable for viewing
In the new 'Burn the Quangos' world I guess the government will shortly abolish it
other civilised Western Countries dont need An OFCOM - it's enough to put warning triangles up top-right-of-screen and have full proram information
bit like the BBFC - just give us the program info and the decision can be made in the home where it should be - locally

Without Ofcom the likes of Sky could do what they want... you'd have no Sky Movies/sports on cable, never mind HD!
Someone had to keep a watch on platforms and make sure the viewer is protected.
