Perhaps we are straying a little here again but these programmes are on our national broadcaster. They are freely available. Advertisements are run, sometimes even from Government, and they are allowed into our schools. Does this area need much more regulation because some of these advertisements are potentially quite harmful? That would take an enormous shift in thinking among educators and the powers that be who decide what is broadcast on our TVs. Should more be done in this regard?
