Complaint
The broadcast was one of a series of repeats of a situation comedy made in the early 1970s, and was preceded by a continuity announcement which said it was 鈥渇irst broadcast in 1971, dressed in attitudes and language that reflect the era鈥.听 A listener objected to the announcement on the basis that it manifested partiality towards contemporary mores. 听The ECU considered the complaint in the light of the 麻豆官网首页入口鈥檚 standards of impartiality.
Outcome
In the ECU鈥檚 view the announcement simply alerted listeners to material which they might consider offensive in relation to today鈥檚 standards.听 It did not mean that those standards were necessarily preferable to those which prevailed when the series was made.
