TRINNY AND SUSANNAH BROADCAST DATE

Trinny and Susannah Undress the Nation starts on Wednesday 7th November on ITV at 8:00 pm.

I don't know which episode will include the filming at the Long Man of Wilmington.

Should the episode in question offend you in any way, the easiest way to complan to OFCOM is here:

The OFCOM summary of the Broadcasting Code is here:

http://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv/ifi/codes/bcode/

More detailed complaint guidance will follow after the broadcast. The possible areas for complaint (Without having seen what is to be broadcast yet) are:

Section 2 - Harm and Offence

"2.3 In applying generally accepted standards broadcasters must ensure that material which may cause offence is justified by the context (see meaning of “context” below). Such material may include, but is not limited to, offensive language, violence, sex, sexual violence, humiliation, distress, violation of human dignity, discriminatory treatment or language (for example on the grounds of age, disability, gender, race, religion, beliefs and sexual orientation). Appropriate information should also be broadcast where it would assist in avoiding or minimising offence."

Section 3 - Crime

"3.1 Material likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or to lead to disorder must not be included in television or radio services."

Section 4 - Religion

"4.2 The religious views and beliefs of those belonging to a particular religion or religious denomination must not be subject to abusive treatment."

"Meaning of a "religious programme":
A religious programme is a programme which deals with matters of religion as the central subject, or as a significant part, of the programme."

From my understanding of the Code, Section 4 can only apply if Pagans and/or Druids are mentioned. Otherwise it is not a religious programme.
