Currently the bookies' favourite for the main debates for The TV Show on Saturday 5 April, 4.05pm are:

Fine before 9: what should youngsters be watching on TV?
With A Cook’s Tour of Spain in the dock for showing a pig being killed; Eastenders heavily criticised for depicting a live burial; and gay kissing on Hollyoaks leading to some complaints; The TV Show asks: what’s appropriate viewing before 9pm?
Should programming before the 9pm watershed be watered down? How relevant is the Watershed in this day and age?

We expect the lead topic to be:
Boom and Bust: How responsible are TV property shows for the boom? There’s great forum discussion on this topic here.

However things do keep changing so please keep an eye on The TV Show site, for the most up-to-date information.

Killing animals for television shows is wrong regardless of what time it is aired.

Slaughter of animals and live burials is innapropriate and I imagine the kiddies'll be havi' nightmares tonight! However I think same sex kissing is perfectly fine (even though I am straight) as it will teach tolerance and understanding to all ages. I imagine that if I were gay i would not like it if all children felt same sex relationships as disgusting!

Do they issue warnings before showing the slaughter of the pig?
