I'm personally against the idea of censorship because it's rendering us unable to use our critical thinking abilities over what we want to watch and also because it treats us like idiots. For example I bought the entire series of Are You Being Served on DVD because I was annoyed at the edits made by GOLD.

Surely a better idea would have been to transmit it after the watershed. There are worse things on after nine pm. A better solution would be for streaming services to provide the option (via PIN lock) to watch a programme uncut with a suitable warning.

For streaming I think leaving the programme unedited with a warning and optional PIN. The warning could either be prominently on the episode page and/or a slide shown at the start of the episode. That way those who might be offended are given fair warning.

It's one reason why for some films/programme I like to buy Bluray/DVDs from CEX.
