Thanks guys, Im also pretty sure they were picking on Bang before lollygate, it just wasnt quite as obvious, every week.
And while Ofcom have been picking on the babe shows in general, specifically targetting Bang is relatively new, there must be something that made Ofcom pick their shows in particular, even when no different to the competition.
Thanks to The Watcher for reminding me about Antonia Live, but sadly it was exceptional even for the time, and TVX were playing with fire by broadcasting live unencrypted cunillingus.

NEW OFCOM RULES
1 Clothing to be worn between 5:30am-9:00pm (Dresses, Hot Pants and Vest tops, Fantasy Costumes (Maid, Stewardess, Secretary etc). Lingerie under any of the above, but not uncovered lingerie.
2 No breasts fully exposed before 10pm. Implied topless acceptable.
3 No nudity before 11pm. A performer can be fully nude and use a static straight hand with straight fingers to cover themselves. Ofcom accepted that this does not constitute masturbation.
1 Not uncovered lingere? So any pop star in Madonna style clothing, wearing a bra over a Tshirt will be in trouble?
What about Benn Hill repeats - remember the women in undies, stockings and heels chasing him around, prime time ITV family viewing?
"Clothing to be worn between 5:30am-9:00pm" ~ does that mean that Ofcom have banned clothing before 5:30 and after 9pm?
"Clothing to be worn (Dresses, Hot Pants and Vest tops, Fantasy Costumes (Maid, Stewardess, Secretary)" ~ what, all of it? What if the babe does not own a Maid outfit?
Seriously for a minute, are Ofcom saying that a Maid skirt that reaches exactly to the bottom of the buttocks and no more, plus a see through white lace top is acceptable? Or hot pants cut so high that plenty of bum cheek hangs out?
How tight is acceptable? If it is OK for Julia Bradbury to waggle her bum in walking trousers on a BBC Walking Tour of Germany cultural show, then the same must be true for the babes, surely?
What about cameltoe? Will footage of Brittany Spears be banned too?
Does "No uncovered lingere" mean that a bra strap breaks the rules?
Or a backless top exposing the rear of a bra strap?
Are tights lingere or not? What if the groin is covered by outer clothing, but the legs are not?
These rules are so full of pitfalls that Ofcom really needs some sort of public committee to decide on decency. Like in Iran.
