The marvels of technology allow us to watch TV even if we don’t actually have a television set, and to watch programmes at times totally unrelated to when they are actually broadcast. I found this film on offer recently:
Aliens in the permafrost didn’t really appeal, though, so I went looking for a crime drama. There are so many on offer; how is one to decide between them when their attractions are described so eloquently by the censors?
All of these warnings are from the Miss Marple series, so I’d be disappointed if any of the episodes didn’t have at least one dead body in it.
“Mild murder scenes” is one of my new favourite phrases, but the final warning has me marginally confused:
Surely even the most genteel murder must be a moderate crime?
don't confuse the narrator 
Paddington, the recent film, nearly got a 15 rating for it’s “dangerous behaviour, mild threat, mild sex references [and] mild bad language”
By changing the sexual references to innuendo, it got down to a PG(!), but the mild bad language was one mumbled use of the word “bloody”.
Also in the PG category are “The Maltese Falcon”, “Carry On Screaming”, “Coraline”, “Dr. Strangelove” and “The Men from U.N.C.L.E”.
Much safer than a really hard stare.
