It has been reported that Ofcom has had a complaint against ITV1’s Britain’s Got Talent, for airing an illusionist act that viewers felt was not suitable for weekend family viewing I must admit I thought that it was a bit much too.

Dr Gore, who appeared in the live semi-final of the TV show, provoked 21 viewers to complain to the regulator about his act, which included Dr Gore appearing to use a rotary saw to remove pieces of flesh from a volunteer and what looked like a large organ from his body.

Ofcom have considered the show in breach of Rule 1.3 of the Broadcasting Code which states that “Children must be protected by appropriate scheduling from material that is unsuitable for them, ” and that appropriate scheduling should take into account the likely audience at that time.
