BSA Releases 6 Decisions

The Authority has not upheld a complaint that a promo for comedy series Colin from Accounts which included a brief reference to one character’s ‘move’, ‘the nipple flash’, breached the children’s interests standard.

The BSA found nothing in the promo was inappropriate for, or likely to adversely affect, children; it was aired during an unclassified news programme that routinely includes content potentially unsuitable for children, meaning adult supervision was expected; there was no explicit nudity or sexual content in the promo; and the reference was fleeting and not outside audience expectations.

This and other recent decisions can be seen here.
