One last thing about Flight Path

I had been saving this to bring up in the discussion of Flight Path
that never happen. So now before we move on to Exposed and all the ladies in
the group kerploping over either Ed or Mike or both I'll mention it now.
Someone made mention of the fact about censorship in the episodes and
how somethings seemed to be edited for different countries awhile back. Well
in watching Flight Path I saw something that as a student of films and TV
that clearly showed that UFO had been clearly tailored for American TV. When
we see the Ropers bedroom whom we are lead to believe are a very devoted and
loving couple we see something that is out of character in this picture and
can only be the result of tailoring the episodes for U.S. TV Standards and
Practices.
What is it you ask? Why the double beds in the bedrooms! How many
loving couples sleep in different beds in the same bedroom? This is
something you only see in American TV and Films till around the mid 70's.

Really? That's amazing, when you consider that one of the most
popular British TV programmes of the early '70s used to regularly
show two men in bed together.

Eh up, watch out, you can't go showing that sort of thing on British TV you
know, there'd be complete uproar. Make the tea Ern.... Tea Urn!!!!!

The two guys in bed would have been a real shock to the puddish
Americans networks! It all comes from the censorship code forced on the
movie industry here in the States by the Catholic League of Decency in 1934.
It was picked up by TV and although film censorship came to a sort of end
with the movie rating code it contines to live on in TV even thought we now
have a ratings code on TV.

I'm not positive but I think 'The Brady Bunch" was the first American series
to not have twin beds for a married couple.

And they seriously needed twin beds . . . if not bedrooms on separate
continents!
