Watershed
 

I was wondering sat here with my friend (stella) in the world of drunken ness, what is the watershed? who invented it, where did it get its name from. The only info on it i could find was this from wilkipedia:

United Kingdom
According to Ofcom, the watershed on standard television in the UK starts at 9:00pm, and finishes at 5:30am the next morning. On premium film or pay-per-view services requiring a subscription, the watershed starts at 8:00pm. However, 12, 15 and 18 rated films can be shown on pin protected channels (such as Sky Movies) at any time of the day. Viewers are required to enter their PIN to view. There should be a gentle transition to adult material, and 18-rated material is not allowed to be shown before 10:00pm

But why does show like Hollyoaks on at 6pm way before this time still swear, show scenes of sex etc??? It puzzles me..... it dont take much today.
