Thank you for the link Heidi.
The 2 contestants should be fined as well. What gave them the idea that any of the viewers would want to see them having sexual contact. ${
When we were on the Metro in Paris last week, 2 teenagers got into the lift with me and my sisters and about ten other people. They started to kiss and group each other like it was the last kiss and group they were ever going to have. If my french was up to scratch, I would have told them in no uncertain terms what I thought of them.......... :oops:

If BBUK allow live sex to be broadcast, it will be the end of BB in this country.

Here here.

As for paying for it. I couldn't do it on tv for a million pounds. Somethings are not for public viewing. Soap box moment over.

I don't know if this is their second fine but there was an article dated 18th March at http://www.gadsdentimes.com stating that they had been find the equivilent of $6100 .It said the show included nude scenes of the contestants in the shower and dialogue with sexual content. And it was also imposed for airing images of a male striptease show during a news bulletin with "obscence movements".

After the first fined the program content didn't appear to change much appear from a view discussions about the content which was given priorty over for a couple of nights but what the did show still fitted the description of what they were originally fined for.
Unfortunatly I can't find a link to the original article.

I also agree that the UK viewers don't want this and prefer to what relationships develope rather than actual "action".
And what's more channel four wouldn't let a topic on this subject on to their BB forum and Sunday and the message was sent straight to the mods and has never appeared.
