Top Gear, BBC4 and the watershed: what we learned from Tony Hall

BBC director general stands by Jeremy Clarkson in Radio Times interview and says watershed probably won’t be around in 20 to 30 years. The 9pm watershed’s days are numbered. “The watershed is still a useful way of judging the content and sensitivities, and taste and decency issues. But has the watershed got a future in 20 or 30 years’ time? I suspect not.” Hall said.

The New media spin on this is that all the content is available online (all we have to do is tick a box that says we're 18 - not that hard even you're not). In 20 or 30 years time, I don't even think we'll have proper TV, but have everything online. I see us using our TV's to access online content. Essentially, we'll have bigger computer screens.
