Is there nothing so crass that it won't be embraced by television?

Article Abstract:

It appears that there is now nothing too extreme to be the subject of a television programme. Many celebrities are prepared to become involved in any project, however tasteless, in order to attract publicity. The emergence of digital television is accelerating this trend towards vulgar, voyeuristic programme-making. The leading celebrities, who demand high fees, are setting new standards in tastelessness for the more minor celebrities.

Is sex our only pastime?

Article Abstract:

Children in the UK are exposed to many references to sex through sources such as television and advertising. Television soap operas, for example, give children the impression that life consists of little more than sex and work, even though they do not show sexually explicit scenes. It has become almost impossible for parents to protect their children from a culture that continues to be obsessed with sex, affairs and relationships. It is wrong for children to be given the impression that adult life is defined by complex, illegal and irresponsible sexual encounters.
