Wouldn't work would it? They'd just pull up their hoodies and say no mate, send me to a jail instead.

BTW that Jag is fake if the year of manufacture is accurate : - 1984. It doesn't look quite Kosher either but perhaps that's a faulty mental image. Am I allowed to use that word?

I think the vast majority here are being overly cynical and the same would happen again.
The older generation always think little of the younger. It's a theme as old as the hills.
Why pretend their weren't oiks in the 30s as well!
And OP - I disagree its petty. The film went out unedited. I think you are over-reacting.

The same word is in the lyrics of Elvis Costello's Olivers Army and is blanked out when played on the radio
What if he word was . What if it was - and that was totally artistically justified, would you accept that on the radio in the afternoon?
IMHO - In the Dambusters the context makes it fine. Some people may get sniffy and that is covered by a warning. That way everyone is happy.
On Radio 2 in the afternoon who the fk can be bothered with the fuss? If you want to make some sort of political point about it be my guest.

(Producer) Sir David Frost passing away in 2013 didn't help, he had bought the rights to the film in 2006 and it was he who got Peter Jackson on board to make it.
Work was to start as soon as the Hobbit trilogy was finished.

“The Hobbit wasn’t something I intended to get involved in as much as I did, but as things ended up, Dambusters has had to sit on the sidelines. But we have got 10 Lancs ready to go as soon as we can.”

Don't see the problem.
They warned, for those who would be offended.
The film has gone out unedited for all your benefit.
Everyone wins
(There is a certain irony in being offended by a warning of offensive language though)

What the film really needed was some ME-108 Taifuns' shooting up RAF Scampton a couple of days before the raid...
RAF Hemswell substituted for Scampton in the film. Many of the buildings are still there, several are now used as antiques centres and could be seen on Bargain Hunt today. Gassing Station | TV, Film, Video Streaming & Radio | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
