Yeah, it must be BBC America bleeping it, even though they don't bleep the word shit. I'm thinking of the Graham Norton Show, specifically. It's weird because American rules tend to be all or nothing; either the show swears, with shit and fuck and everything else you can think of, or it bleeps everything. But now that I think about it, all our episodes of Graham Norton are recorded--so it's possible that some are mid-day reruns, and maybe they're bleeping those episodes but not the ones that broadcast at night.

Don't know how things currently work, but there used to be limits on how many times each swear word could be used in a programme. Dramas I mean, not sure what the rules were for interview shows.
