UKTV has been wrapped by Ofcom for subtitling the word “f***ing” twice during a repeat of Casualty <\/em>that aired at 10.30 in the morning. <\/p>\n

British broadcasters are not allowed to swear in shows prior to the 9 p.m. GMT watershed but UKTV said in this instance the word was “incorrectly subtitled” and was “not audible” in the program.<\/p>\n

The BBC Studios-owned network of channels, which includes UKTV Drama – the channel where the incident occured – was found this morning to be in breach of the regulator’s code that states: “The most offensive language must not be broadcast before the watershed.”<\/p>\n

UKTV laid the blame at the feet of subtitling outsourcer Red Bee Media. UKTV said it contacted Red Bee as soon as it was notified of the swearing faux-pas in June and that Red Bee has a “number of processes and checks in place that should have prevented this word from erroneously appearing in the subtitles.”<\/p>\n

According to UKTV, “the subtitler responsible did not follow the agreed procedures” and “did not check the broadcast time, and wrongly assumed that the programme was scheduled post-watershed”. It also said that the subtitler “did not follow Red Bee’s protocols” and had not referred the content to their line manager or duty managers.<\/p>\n

The subtitler has been “disciplined and withdrawn from subtitling duties until they have been through a thorough retraining process with their line manager,” the Ofcom ruling added.<\/p>\n

Ofcom took into account UKTV’s comments about Red Bee in its ruling but also criticized UKTV for failing to make an on air apology.<\/p>\n

“Ofcom took into account [UKTV’s] representations that it had not experienced
this issue before and that it took action to address the issue once notified of it,” added the ruling. <\/p>\n

“However, in Ofcom’s view, these factors would not have mitigated the offence caused to viewers as a result of this broadcast.”<\/p>\n

UKTV has been found to be in breach but will not be fined. A similar incident occured earlier this year when Sky accidentally aired a repeat of Game of Thrones <\/em>during the day that used offensive language including “c**t”, “f**ck” and “s**t.”<\/p>\n
