Monkey expects many things when tuning into the BBC1 daytime show Bargain Hunt. But a "motherfucker" is not necessarily one of them. That appears to be what we got while watching this morning's episode of the long-running series, which unwisely chose a Mylo song, Drop the Pressure, for a bit of incidental background music – "Motherfuckers gonna drop the pressure" being a not an entirely appropriate lyric for BBC daytime programming. You can hear for yourself – possibly not for much longer – 37 minutes and 25 seconds in. BBC standards appear to be going, going ... gone!
