Do we worry about crime too much?

Broadcasters and film producers have been accused of helping to normalise bad language in society by an independent watchdog.

According to a report by Mediawatch-UK, the "f-word" was used almost 1,500 times in films on the five terrestrial television channels in the first half of this year.

The campaign group says the level of swearing on television is unacceptable and against the wishes of most people.
