So the regulators have decided that the BBC are a bunch of bad bad bunnies for showing Pulp Fiction after the 9pm watershed because...  well...  I'm not sure why.  Apparently it was too soon after the watershed.  Sounds like a bit of a weak argument to me, but there we go.

BBC's Pulp Fiction angers Ofcom
 
The BBC violated broadcasting guidelines by showing the movie Pulp Fiction 10 minutes after the watershed, media regulator Ofcom has ruled.

Nine viewers complained after BBC Two broadcast the Quentin Tarantino movie at 2110 BST in August 2005.

Ofcom said it was screened too early because "seriously offensive language, graphic violence and drug abuse" occur in the first 20 minutes of the film.

The BBC lost three appeals against Ofcom's decision.

So... um...  why do we have a watershed?  My understanding was that all 'offensive' stuff had to be shown after 9pm.  But it seems that by showing bad language and killings at 9.10pm - 10 whole minutes after this watershed - isn't ok.

I'm confused.

Oh.  And as a point of interest, the Watershed is also an arty cinema down on the waterfront in Bristol.  They show F rench films.
