Top 20 British TV Moments That Caused Major Outrage

Ok, as a gay person i've never had a problem with the F word in Fairytale of New York. She's not using the word to attack his sexuality, she's calling him useless, that word used to mean something different. It's just a word in a great song, chill out!

I am more offended by James Corden being allowed on TV at all ! A faggot is something English people eat. It's horrible, similar to Beef Olives. I'm a dyke who came out in the 1980s . Words are the least reason to be offended by. 😂🌈

[@sineadgallagher7128]

​@@Agjuno not in that context it doesn't

[@Agju]

@@sineadgallagher7128 "she's not calling him gay! She's calling him useless!" Muuuuch better, esp since the f word has become so entwined as a slur to homosexuals, so like when people say something is 'gay' as a negative, it ventures into murky territory regardless of what a word USED to mean. Not to mention the f word used to mean, like, a bundle of sticks or a cigarette so if its not attacking sexuality, she's calling him...a cigarette? That makes sense.

It was Tecwen Whittock who was the other person aside from Charles and Diana who was involved in the actual coughing on Millionaire. Diana's brother won £32,000 on the show once after getting his 64k question wrong (just like she did), but he wasn't actually caught up in the scandal.

[@davidrule385]

Just to correct about the Millionaire coughing scandal, Diana Ingram's brother Adrian Pollock wasn't there when the Major and Diana were on those two nights. And the person who performed the coughs to help the Major get up to the million pound check was Teckwyn Whittock.

I never watched Watership Down. I had to be removed from the screening of E.T. by my older sister, who wasn't impressed by my convulsing crying when E.T. looked like he was going to die. In fact i was a teenager the next time we went to the cinema. I can't watch Dumbo because of the scene where his mum was rocking him whilst locked in a caged caravan. I was also very emotional when watching The Animals of Farthing Wood, oh and my most recent 'moment' was watching Toy Story Three and crying when i thought the Toys were going to be killed on the conveyor belt, so funnily enough I've never wanted to see W.D!

[@WaterCrane]

The Animals of Farthing Wood was pretty violent for a children's show. Rodents being dropped and impaled on thorns, hedgehogs being run over on the motorway, and at the end of Season 2, the main villain gets outright assassinated!

[@elizabethtrudgill3567]

E.T scared me so much as a child that I still brake out in a cold sweat every time I hear the theme tune.

Number 5 on this list i used to fancy sam womack but shes a brilliant actress

[@FacelessJanus]

The naked education bit is rather stupid. First of there is something like sex ed, as part of biology. What would be wrong, is that the naked bodies shown in such material are choosen because of a rather invalid ideology of beauty. (Extremely slim women, as example. Or choosen because of there skin colour, usually white. I'd call that racist.) But to learn about human bodies and biology, yes I think bodies of both genders should be shown naked. People should not ever confuse nudity with sexuality unless we talk sex ed, which is part of the curriculum of the educational system. Instead of shaming something, one should look at the basics. True, one an argue that from a religious point of view one does not like that children of a certain age, get this education at school, but I think that point is rather moot, nowadays. The reason behind this, is female genital mutilation, sex ting, sextortion etc. That does not mean, I disagree with someones religious believes, but I think knowing about this, might prevent several sex crimes, and religious crimes in western societies.

There was always something “off” about this major. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but could only feel that he didn’t ring true. Then surprise, surprise a shock for us all when he was accused of cheating. He was up & down and round and round with his answering then went for the first thing he dismissed. Odd. This was a family always after money because they were living beyond their means. He was falsely claiming Insurance monies several times, until they wouldn’t pay out any more. He had a Court case coming up for this whilst a contestant on the show. A wrong’n. He paid dearly for his behaviour - reputation lost and an incredible amount of public anger towards him.
