Wikipedia:UK Wikipedians' notice board/UKCOTW/Censorship in the United Kingdom
How can the article on Censorship only mention Mary Whitehouse once in passing? Not mention Alf Garnett and the show Til Death Us Do Part? It only passes on the former censorship duties of Lord Chamberlain's Office, and the end of the office's censorship. No real mention of the relaxation of censorship laws, and what led to it. Surely Kenneth Tynan should get a mention, the first guy to say "fuck" on TV, as well as shows like Porridge which used neologisms to get around censors. Sinn Fein should also be noted, they were censored and had TV stations had to used actors to dub over their comments. There's already some good information on there, it's not a stub, but I still think it can be expanded on a lot. - Hahnchen 01:00, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

- --Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 15:09, 8 February 2006 (UTC). No mention of Lady Chatterley trial, either.
- Morwen - Talk 17:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC) also, more importantly, no mention of non-obscenity censorship like DA Notices and the Official Secrets Act, that sort of them.
- --Mal 04:11, 17 February 2006 (UTC) I believe all of this information should be included. The Lady Chatterley event, Kenneth Tynan and the Sinn Féin voice ban should perhaps be in either a history section or a broadcast/media section.
