The regulations and controls that would have have to be followed in order for the product to be acceptable to the public are the rules of ofcom. These regulations make sure that nothing that can be seen as upsetting or harmful to viewers is shown on the product.  Ofcom make sure that people in the Uk get the best from their communications services and are protected from scams and sharp practices, while ensuring that competition can thrive. Ofcom ensure that:
