Authorities are concerned at the "vulgar tendencies" of light entertainment shows, particularly reality TV, dating and talk shows.


Personally I think anything with celebrity in the title should be banned.
Celebrities are not news worthy unless they've died or done something to benefit mankind.
News articles about television programs e.g. Strictly Come Dancing are not news. It's propaganda.

Seems everywhere you look / listen at the moment on the Beeb, Strictly will be mentioned.

It's the old conflict of freedom of speech and preservation of qulaity. I'm all for both actually.

My solution is - don't watch programmes you don't like. It works very effectively.
