my mum is a nurse
and she once looked after the chap who wrote the scripts for the Clangers. In one of the episodes a character bangs his head and was scripted to say 'bloody hell', even though they had the whistle for a voice this line still got censored by the BBC.

Apparently the line was changed to "flippin' hell".

If anyone needs looking after, it's the bloke who wrote the scripts for the Clangers.
