Extreme violence on Eastenders

[vehelpfulguy]

My son watches Eastenders, and I saw some of it tonight at 7.30pm, and I was amazed at the level of violence.

Do we really need to see a man holding a broken bottle right up to somebody's face as soon as the show starts.

Or threatening people with a gun that early in the evening.

I thought there was supposed to be a 9pm watershed.

No wonder young kids are running around threatening people in their local areas when they see this on TV.

I know what you mean, but I did find it a bit laughable how Phil managed to just get away with a few cuts and bruises after a skip fell ontop of the car !!

Only could happen in Eastenders !!

I agree that too much is shown too early but can we really blame eastenders for kids today attitude?

It's a classic double standard - I turned off because I was disgusted. Can you imagine the furore there would have been if they'd shown Honey & Billy getting it off? Why is violence acceptable at any time and sex isn't?

Is it me or has anyone else noticed how homoerotic a lot of this violence is? If 2 fat baldies are the model then maybe I'll be content with hetero!

I say MORE MORE!! when it comes to violence in EE!! How about the entire cast meet up in the Vic' for as good old Cockney Knees up when...oh NO!!! A Boeing 747 (or maybe even a new airbus??) lands smack bang on the dear old pub!!!
Not even the invincible (but below average IQ'd) Mitchell bruvs' could survive that...could they?

Sounds like a Kenny death on South Park that bit BT76. Maybe there could be a plane crash, then a tanker crash, then an asteriod impact, and maybe a nuclear weapon to finish it off.

With the boring 'Sonia's a lesbian' storyline that we have had in the last few weeks it's nice to have a bit of action.

You can't shield children from the truth, these things really do happen somewhere in the world, would you be as quick to judge a shocking image on the news, which is shown all hours of the day? and which given all the war recently is a common occurence on the news.

And if it wasn't happening, everyone would be complainig that EE is really boring at the moment.

(hope I haven't offended anyone, I'm just saying what I think)

Sorry to be so blunt, but if you don`t like your son watching a certain programme, turn it off. when my young gransons stay with us, we DO NOT even put the tele on. anything I want to watch, I`ll record & watch at a later time.
