All the time if you watch TV from outside the UK. I watch mostly TPS from France and TV Cabo from Portugal, which are equivalent to Sky in UK - they don't have watersheds at all. They'll show the same movie at 2pm as they would at midnight and the onus is on parental responsibility to stop children viewing unsuitable material .... people just don't complain, regardless of what's shown. There's a good channel callwd C18, showing a mix of classic cult, horror and porn (original soundtracks) - it could never get a license here as it would get slated on every count by papers like the Mail as they put on what they would regard as video nasties morning, afternoon and night.

You can check their schedules and wonder what's different in mentalities of us and them, when they can show

Ripper: Letter from hell at 15:53 in the afternoon

Lesbian anal club at 00:03

And for the gay audience ..

Sex, tricks and rollerblades at 3:02

And Sky pump out censored rubbish during the day and no porn at night. I don'r know why people sit back and watch what's served yp by UK censors or accept the rules they law down, when the skies are full of real uncensored programming.

Slightly off-topic...

Repo Man (directed by Alex Cox and featuring Harry Dean Stanton and Emilio Estevez) used the word motherfucker over 280 times. BBC2 overdubbed the word with "melonfarmer" which is why my friend Dave Taylor called his "watching the censors" website MELONFARMERS
