OFCOM regulate what is shown on TV.
Anyone can complain to OFCOM. They can then
investigate what you have complained and set the standard for particular
programmes.
After 9pm adult programmed are allowed to be
shown. Adult themes and material are shown after 9pm as the government suggest
young children should be asleep.
Here is list of what is shown after 9pm –
Sexual Content, Nudity, Swearing and Drugs and alcohol.
Task 2.
You are an angry viewer. You watched Corrie on 16th January 2012 and are very unhappy about an adult smacking a child who is not his. In this episode, builder Owen Armstrong (played by Ian Puleston-Davies), smacked 10 year old trouble maker Faye ( played by Ellie-Louise Leach)- his girlfriend's adopted daughter- after discovering she had killed his fish by poisoning the fish pond.
YOU ARE GOING TO WRITE A LETTER TO OFCOM
In this letter, you will say that you found the scene to be OFFENSIVE and it made you feel UPSET.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing in response to the episode shown on the 16th January 2012 in which Owen abused the character Faye, who I believe to be around 10 years old.
After watching this controversial episode I became offended over the fact that he abused a child that was not even his own child. I do not think that this was appropriate for the thousands of viewers that watch this programme. It is not only us adults that watch it, but teenagers are now also starting to tune in.
As I watch the show regulary I think the show should go back to hard solid storylines.
Yours Sincerely
