Molly Oldfield & John Mitchinson, The Telegraph, 12th May 2011Ofcom has found digital channel Dave guilty of a breach of regulations after a single viewer complained about the 'F-word' appearing on a repeat of QI at 2pm.
The viewer complained the repeat of the episode 'Dogs', broadcast by Dave on 22nd February, which had originally been shown post-watershed on BBC Two and BBC Four. The programme featured host Stephen Fry and panellist Jeremy Clarkson saying the words 'fuck' and 'fucking' respectively.
Despite it being shown mid-afternoon, Dave failed to obscure the words properly, leading to the viewer to complain that such words should be been censored during that time of day.
In response UK Gold Services, the company which owns Dave, said the "bleeping of the language was not up to the usual standard", but claimed that due to the partial obscuring "the offence caused was minimal."
Ofcom did not accept this excuse and thus found the network guilty of breaching rule 1.14 of the broadcasting code which states: "The most offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed (in the case of television)".
QI starts recording its ninth series, Series I, tomorrow. It will be the first series to premiere in the programme's original post-watershed BBC Two slot since its move to a pre-watershed BBC One position.
