Ronnie Barker had a sketch about symbols for tv programmes: including a white house to show that Mary Whitehouse had phoned in; with a smoking chimney to show she was fuming; and on its side to show she had keeled over
Red triangle program? DISGUSTING!!!! Err... I'll just watch for another 15 minutes just to see how disgusting it actually is... ...blimey, has it finished already? That went quick!
Wasn't the first time a "Mature Audience", symbol was used. I remember ITV, used a small square in the bottom right of the screen to signifie adult content in the mid to late 70s
I came here specifically to say that. I think it was around 1978. It was to warn that the programme showed distressing scenes. I remember it being used for Marathon Man and a documentary about mental patients.
I think that is a pretty good idea TBH. I was 10 when the red triangle launched, I was fascinated as to what it was all about so my dad let me stay up and watch one; a load of crap whatever it was. 10 minutes and I took myself off to bed. 😂 I've never been one to scare myself silly by watching horror films, so having something permanently in the corner would be useful; no random channel hopping onto something nasty, I'd just keep flicking on through if i saw a universal symbol. I always remember seeing a bit of this horrific documentary at the end of tape before it ran out. I was going through a load of tapes in the 1990's and an old recording revealed this footage of dead bodies lying in a middle eastern war torn country. This reporter was standing beside them (some children) in various states of disarray following death, talking about what was happening. It was an English documentary but we aren't used to such graphic post death footage as some European countries show on their screens. Still haunts me that snippet does.
I remember this helped us kids get around the 'Video Nasty' sharing when you didn't have a VHS. By the 90s they'd phased out the Red Triangle but the late night movies were still as bizarre and exciting as ever. Without Channel 4, I would have never discovered Akira or Evil Dead as a young teen - You felt like you were in a secret club.
I would have been about 7 or 8 when all this was going on. I was mad into drawing pictures (badly) at the time, so I thought it would be funny to draw a red triangle and cut it out and then stick it to the top left hand corner of the living room TV screen when Surprise Surprise was on with Cilla Black. The rest of the family told me to f--k off as I giggled like a loon at my unfunny stunt.
Funnier than her (or her writers') witless double - entendres; and I daresay many Merseysiders found her 'Lorra Lorra' professional Scouser b~ks easily as offensive as anything Channel 4 had to offer! Woman should have stuck to singing. *EDIT: Sorry, I'm getting my shows mixed up. The one I was thinking of was, of course, 'Blind Date'. The fact remained, though, she was hard to take in _anything_ she was in!
The Channel 4 of today is a very different broadcaster from the one of the eighties. Ask anyone who sees the censorship and cuts that are made to The Simpsons (with whole episodes no longer being aired).
That's because when Channel 4 began it had ta remit to be a minority channel which catered for interests and audiences which the other networks had neglected.
There was a similar system in Hungary in the late 80's, early 90's. There was a blue triangle in the corner, indicating that the film was not suitable for children under 14. It was used on 90% of the movies otherwise R-rated in the states. There was also a red circle, which was the 18 symbol, only used for softcore adult films and Beavis and Butt-Head for some reason. It was an unsaid rule that the films with the triangle should only be shown after 8 pm. Interestingly, the public TV channels M1 or M2 never used it, only commercial channels (public TV also showed some nasty movies back then).
Fantastic, was always intrigued by this season by channel 4, from seeing it in a documentary that used to be on RUclips, “The TV They Tried to Ban” Fascinating stuff
@jordaneasbybass what? I was born in 1973. I remember it well as me and all my friends would try to stay up during the half term holidays to watch them, that's if we could. Of course, we wanted to see these "forbidden" films as teenagers.
The films were also shown on S4C (which showed C4 programs at the time), there’s a closedown from the 80’s on RUclips that features the Red Triangle in the corner before the continuity announcer appears.
"Themroc" is an amazing film, I remember the red triangle films being shown on C4, I remember watching all of the "nasties" back in those days, great memories.
Out Of The Blue is a masterpiece directed by Dennis Hopper, with an interesting history of its own. Started as a PG-rated TV movie-esque family drama about a psychiatrist trying to get through to a girl from a rough upbringing. The original director was fired shortly when filming began and Dennis (who was cast as the father of the girl) stepped in and radically changed the film to be an R-rated bleak nihilistic character study about PTSD and goes into some really uncomfortable territory with a violent ending, also the psychiatrist originally intended to be the lead, was almost written out of the film only having two scenes. The producers were shocked by the final cut and pulled any involvement for the film, and Dennis asked his friend Jack Nicholson to endorse his support for the film on advertising. It's had a long history of cheap public domain VHS and DVDs because the producers didn't want anything to do with it, but now recently got a 4K restoration presented by Natasha Lyonne (a fan of the film) which the BFI released on blu-ray in the UK.
3:00 "...Special discretion should be used when decidiing whether or not to watch it. It's a bleak portrait of a harsh and violent society." So, Hollyoaks then?
ITV tried a similar thing for a while in the early seventies, I think it was a white square. It was used to indicate frightening films shown late at night, things like Hammer horror films that could now be put on children's TV in the morning without anyone getting worried.
As a teenage boy with his own portable black and white TV, I tuned in for smut but ended up watching some challenging, arty cinema. I was baffled and amused by Themroc - bizarre, that was. I don’t think there were any real ‘video nasties’ shown - Themroc would probably get a 15 certificate today. I remember a New Zealand comedy about a Sex Clinic which showed an infected penis covered by an Elastoplast, that one scene is all I can recall! I remember Out of The Blue, too - a very shocking and disturbing Dennis Hopper film, even today it goes further than you might expect. We also had Moviedrome on BBC2, which also showed some challenging adult-oriented films but which were a little more familiar, less arty and which ran much longer. I’m sure soon after, Channel 4 showed ‘Last Tango in Paris’ and ‘The Holy Mountain’, both of which are true classics now but pushed the envelope for TV broadcasts. Side Note: Themroc features a captivating central performance by Michel Piccoli, darling of the French New Wave and highly visible in films by Bunuel, Godard and Demy amongst others. For context: Alien was shown on ITV around 1981, and I also remember controversy about the broadcast of The Deer Hunter and Goodfellas. The Godfather had long been shown late on the BBC, and I’m pretty sure it was uncut. Many films weren’t shown until video censorship relaxed in the UK in the 2000s, I think Texas Chainsaw Massacre was shown uncut on Channel 4, A Clockwork Orange also. Now with streaming you can watch Possession (not actually offensive) of Cannibal Holocaust (very offensive) on your streaming platform!
My friend said when he was a kid in the 80s one night his family came home late from visiting friends and whilst their parents were busy they turned on the tv, it was one of those where the sound would come on first but the picture took a few seconds to warm up, so they turned it on and a man’s voice shouted, “whose f*cking p*ssy is this?!?” Their parents charged into the room and turned the tv off but the picture just flashed alive before being turned off and the only thing he could make out was the C4 warning triangle 😂
Initial thoughts before I enjoy being enlightened and entertained again by your latest efforts are: That the sudden appearance of Achtung! Up next some naughtiness so don't watch kids! warnings were a way of heading off rumoured broadcast licence restrictions which resulted in the 9 o'clock watershed introduction. But we all know about the law of unintended consequences; all of us that is apart from the politicians making the regs. The terribly onerous task of adding these aids to polite society were nothing if not a double edged sword. Put the little ones to bed, on one side, Heads up viewers, one of them video nasties after the break, on the other. 3:54 "If there is one coming...' With an extra unintended bonus of keeping the audience glued and therefore having to watch the ads too. Win, win all round!
I remember my parents talking about Themroc, although I had no idea at the time what it was called. Years later I eventually managed to figure out what the film was and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unlike my parents...🤣
ah yes, the stupid logo in the corner of the tv during the days of digital television before the stupid logo in the corner of the tv during the days of digital television
Great that you've covered this. It's something I'd about, never in much detail. Mary Whitehouse really was a miserable old sod. Does anyone know the Doctor Who story with that green blob thing in it?
Looking back on the Mary Whitehouse stuff from today, you could tell her threats were empty, if anything, the only channels that would be affected would be ITV and Channel 4 as the BBC is tax funded
There will always be a battle between the censorship do gooders and what the public feels such be their own choice. It was a bold and interesting idea. Awesome stuff Adam ❤❤.
Also, its hard to believe that back then TV used to end at midnight with a rousing rendition of God save the queen, or if there was a weekend movie you might get an extension to about 12.30 with the weather
Ooh I remember this era, when Channel 4 was generally slandered as being the channel that's "just Blue Movies and Equinox". So when we had the choice of pointing our antenna either at the TVS transmitter and get BBC 2 (Attenborough, the best teaching aid) or the HTV transmitter and Channel 4 (porn), it was a no brainer, and I spent many years missing Equinox and only seeing Horizon. In a classic example of bad teacher planning, my school "required" parents to allow kids to watch a set of programmes on Equinox to discuss in science. They didn't understand that lots of us couldn't get Channel 4, and they "suggested" that parents borrow a video of each episode from a friend with a VCR: Really? You expect us to spend £250 on a VCR just to watch someone else's recordings off the one channel we don't need to receive? When we have no other use for the device (only 3 channels) and we are paying 17.5% interest on our mortgage? You can bugger right off and learn how to teach the syllabus yourselves, not leave it up to the parents.
I was fourteen when they broadcast the “red triangle” films, i remember them well , lots of dry European art house and hairy German sex, lots of nudity in general - THATS why two million people tuned in! There was no pornhub back then

Adam Martyn, these docs that you make are amazing! Hope you have your own production company one day!
Considering ITV's history of rebranding and refreshing its channels, it's certainly possible that ITV and ITV4 will see updates sooner than ITV3.
Mate. That was a super episode. I love watching your content in general but this one felt really really well put together. Thank you.
Mrs Whitehouse would keel over it she saw Naked Attraction (if she hadn't already)
Haha you said exactly that later in the video, haha great minds 🤣
Anyone remember watching the toy tank scene from 'Montenegro'? This stills stands as one of the defining moments of my late childhood.
I recall it very well. C4 inadvertently, helpfully flagged up potentially "spicy" material for teenage lads.
It was a godsend. There's only so much damp porn in plastics bags found at the back of bingo to go around.
I remember seeing it when they aired The Passion of St Tibulus.
