TV show featuring suicide ‘totally inappropriate’ for daytime viewing
The BCC has upheld a complaint against RTÉ for showing an episode of the police drama series at 5.30pm on December 4 last because of the explicit and adult nature of the content of the programme. It ruled that RTÉ had failed to exercise due care or have due regard for the protection of children when scheduling the episode of The Bill.
The BCC also judged RTÉ’s classification of the programme as PS (parental supervision) without any other warning of the content was insufficient.
