what is pre-watershed version

[Nic Siddle]

Inconsistent and illogical perhaps, but not insane, at least in 
intention. I believe that the 'watershed' and its accompanyning rules 
are laid down in statute, and therefore the rules are not down to the 
BBC. I, for one, would want to protect children from unmoderated 
content, whilst acknowledging that in today's world, this is in reality 
impossible. And yes - I do believe that there is a difference between 
factual reporting of upsetting incidents and pure drama which may 
contain violence/ sex etc. (though quite how EastEnders qualifies as 
pre-watershed, I have never understood.
