What is Ms Pattison saying that only post-watershed material should be put on the catch-up players?
Why should adults suffer because some parents cannot or will not take precautions what their children watch.

What a stupid argument she is putting up. If parents let their children stay up past the watershed and watch unsuitable programmes, that is the parents fault.
If they let them have internet in their bedrooms without parental controls (they can view a lot worse than Wallander) then that is the fault of the parents.
To make everyone else jump through hoops to get a PIN what is to stop the child getting the PIN and using it. there is no PIN for the rest of the nasties and porn on the internet.
MediaWatch are the remains of Mary Whitehouses's troupe of self appointed busy bodies and we should all ignore their idiotic, ill thought out demands.

Yes, teenagers will watch Secret Diary of a Call Girl instead of the several free porn video sites to get their kicks!
I don't actually have too much of an issue with PIN numbers - Sky do this on their movie channels when they show anything over a 12 during the day. I asked if this could be turned off as we don't have young kids, but it couldn't be.
Although a slight irritation, it isn't that bad - and I see no real harm in it.

No doubt the irresponsible paretns would just give the kids the PIN anyway.
The problem is that parental responsibility has been eroded for the last 13 years. The Labour nanny state has bred this together with kids 'ooman rights' and no one allowed authority from Police to teachers and parents.
You get what you vote for.

To sound like an old lady....(at 35!!) ... really the parents need to monitor what they watch and if they think the kids can't be trusted then no telly's in bedrooms etc...
Why should we rely banning post watershed shows on catch-up payers just to exonerate "some" (a minority) of parents doing their duties?
