But not by the BBC. Top Gear has again come in for criticism after the show this week included several offensive words.

The criticism comes as the British broadcaster issued a crackdown on swearing - but exempted the popular motoring show.

The offending item on the show screened in the UK this week involved presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May replicating a car chase scene from the upcoming movie The Sweeney.

Top Gear has copped criticism in the past year for racial slurs and Clarkson suggesting striking public service workers should be shot.
