language
There is moderate bad language ('bitch', 'whore'). Milder bad language includes uses of 'slut', 'bloody', 'bastard' and 'damned'.
sex
There are moderate sex references such as 'screwing himself silly', and a character saying "Have you ever had it on a table like a piece of meat?" as he makes thrusting movements against the edge of a table.
discrimination
The drama is set in Britain in the 1950s, and characters demonstrate the post-colonial attitudes that prevailed at the time. These attitudes are expressed in discriminatory language referring to foreigners as 'wogs', 'coloured' people and 'negress'. There is also stereotyping of homosexuals that includes references to them as 'pansies'.
