Watched "The Hot Tub" on Paramount 2 UK last night only to find they'd cut every "bastard" but kept in each "son of a bitch". Totally wrecked the flow of the episode. I checked my AVI copy and it's uncut. So how come it's cool to show it in the US but not the UK? The irony is that Sex in the City followed soon after and there must have been a dozen "f**ks"!!!
Swearing?

🙁 Disliked it
Viewers discuss UK broadcast censorship of 'The Hot Tub' episode, noting that instances of 'bastard' were cut while 'son of a bitch' remained, and questioning the inconsistency of UK vs US standards.

Yes. But they didn't *say* the word.

Well, ya son of a bitch! I just don't have an answer, ya bastard!
It looks like they showed the edited version they showed earlier at 10am on the main channel. This may be policy or they forgot to revert to the uncut version. It has been shown uncut on Paramount before.
