'Mary Whitehouse was a teacher who became aware of the profound effect television was having on the moral values of the girls in her care. What they consumed was undermining family life, social cohesion and attacking Christian values.  The message that young people were hearing from the new generation of opinion formers and pop stars who littered the media, was one of ‘free love’ and ‘if it feels good do it’.'
