It is extremely sad that people actually pick up the phone to complain about a TV show. This may have been said many times, but if you don't like it, don't watch it.
"My wife was physically sick" oh please..such an overexaggeration. I wonder what she is like when she watches the News then! She must be a whole lot worse, as the news show more disturbing and horrific scenes and these actually happen in real life.
Viewers are way too sensitive these days, and if this carries on, Eastenders and other similar programmes will be too afraid of showing scenes like this and pushing the boundaries because of complaints from viewers. The viewer will end up destroying what we see on TV.
