In a recent episode of Off The Telly, Sir David Jason expressed his disappointment in the prevalence of strong language in modern drama, stating, "I'm quite opposed as an actor, as a person, to foul language. I'm very disappointed we've gone down that road. You can't see a drama these days without seeing strong language." This sentiment highlights a growing concern among some actors regarding the impact of swearing on storytelling.
Discussing his experience with A Touch of Frost, he recalled, "In the original script for A Touch of Frost there was swearing which I refused to say. I have never had anyone complain saying they didn't like the programme because we didn't swear." This reflects his belief that compelling storytelling does not require the use of profanity.
Sir David Jason firmly remarked, "If you're good enough, and the show is good enough, you don't need to swear." This statement underscores his conviction that quality acting and writing can stand on their own without resorting to explicit language.
