Unfortunately Evelyn’s views are not facts and therefore can’t realistically finish the discussion.

Evelyn may believe that, but Evelyn is wrong. If the policy to hide the pervcam during daytime was laid down by Ofcom it would hardly be applied in such an uneven and sometimes lackadaisical manner.

She’s right about that at least
(11-09-2017 15:36 )nottooold Wrote: She believes that the point at issue for Ofcom is that the Studio 66 licence does not permit them to advertise a private show and the sight of a camera is an advert for just such a private show. It should therefore not be visible. We get the same thing about ten pm when Evelyn cannot say on the mic. that she is doing a private show, she says she will be "somewhere else".
This is more or less correct. The point in issue specifically is the long standing rule that sexual entertainment services cannot be advertised on TV during the daytime and Studio 66 consider that the pervcam being on display could be construed as just such an advert.

No they don’t. It’s complete nonsense. Broadcast licences are a matter of public record, so Evelyn is wrong.
We don’t just know that Evelyn is wrong, we can prove it.

The use of the word occasional here is very unfortunate, because the lapses as you call them are much more than occasional and they always have been much more than occasional. I noticed several yesterday alone.
I find the use of the word occasional here to be a travesty of the truth!
Incidentally, how does Evelyn account for her own lapses? If she believes she’s working under an Ofcom directive she ought to be more careful surely?
And what about the producers? If these lapses shouldn't happen, why don't they immediately put the S66 logo up, as they do if Fernanda's skirt threatens to ride up for example?

No indeed, it isn’t perfect. Fatally flawed and easy to repudiate would be a more accurate appraisal.
