I'm even loath to have Vila use 'sod' or 'bastard' (which I have done) as it was never in the series.

Not on a pre-watershed programme, nope. ;-)

Um, that's when swearing was allowed on TV at a guess? Am I right?

I can hear Vila saying something on the lines of 'oh sod it' though.

So can I!

I think he's have to be quite worked up to use bastard.

Oh I don't know, depends on how he says it. He could say in a resigned way "You really are a bastard, Avon." And he could think it.

And there are a number of the crew he's got plenty of ( err *non* slash) reasons to call a 'daft bugger' or similar as 'bugger' is regularly used by most Brits without any of it's literal meaning attached.

I did have him say "Oh, bugger!" but changed it because it just didn't sound right.

Hey, maybe a lot of rude words were proscribed in the Federation (a la Singapore) and you got shipped to a penal colony for use of crude language to a Fed citizen! Just kidding.
