Line 3:
In UK broadcast law, '''watershed''' is the time after which "adult" content, i.e. programs with a lot of intense violence, coarse language, 'naughty' bits, etc. can be shown. The [[Separated by a Common Language|same concept]] is named '''safe harbor''' in US FCC regulations. (It's like they're ''trying'' to make you need to get up and go to the bathroom – or perhaps the loo – with all this hydraulic terminology.)
Usually 9 PM in the UK
One interesting thing a character cannot do before UK watershed is [[Dies Wide Open|die with their eyes open]] (although, for some reason, being ''already dead'' with your eyes open is fine). The UK has no watershed for radio, so a long list of words can't be said under any circumstances.
