DH and I were surprised to see quite graphic scenes of an abortion in tonight's episode. It was well before the watershed.

Remember the film 'Alfie' in the sixties? People were fainting during the abortion scene and it wasn't half as bad as CTM.

We were a lot more delicate in those days I suppose.

Yes, that's what I think and why I was surprised they showed it so early. Not from the point of view of the gore.

Children can go along with gore - it could just be ketchup - but the subtleties of adult relationships and ethical dilemmas are different.
