She muzzled that creativity and effectively rendered TV as the anodyne rubbish we have to endure these days. Her legacy is not one to laud IMHO. |
I don't think that it has though, there is plenty of sex, swearing, violence etc on television these days.
I'm very broad minded, but have twice been offended by material (films) on TV in my lifetime.
One was about necrophilia and the other actually showed incest between a mother & son.
The first came as a complete shock because there wasn't a warning and the second left me going to bed physically wrenching. There should be no place on TV for this, if this is the end result.
If this anything goes culture carries on and on, what next? An intimate portrayal of children being sexually abused in a 9pm drama??
