I'm for classification but not censorship.

It's fair enough that advice should be given as to what is suitable for what age groups and it's also fair enough that children's access to certain materials should be restricted.

But things shouldn't be censored or banned to achieve this (unless, as Rhodes says, they are illegal images - which can't be released anyway!).

Unfortunately, though, Shameless do have to abide by UK law so we can only remain hopeful that the BBFC are starting to realise where the line should be drawn and will pass this uncut.
