[edit] ####?

'Dennis is credited with having been the first person to say the word "####" on British television, in 1970'

This is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid newspaper, we don't have to be squeamish about using strong language if it's necessary for factual accuracy. If you consider it important that Dennis was the first person to use this particular word on British TV (and I agree that it is), then print the word in full. The article on the theatre critic Kenneth Tynan refers to the fact that he was the first person to use the word "fuck" on British Television in 1965. The word being alluded to here is "cunt" and it's perfectly appropriate to print it in full in this context, not least because the word has its own Wikipedia article, which itself mentions Dennis's use of the word (on David Frost's The Frost Programme). I've made the appropriate corrections to this article. Martan 09:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
