Although showing the program in the afternoon did not break the rules, it is common to see programs with bare skin in the later viewing time. Many were worried that the same channel shows Pikku Kakkonen intended for children at 5 p.m.
– We apologize if there has been any resentment. I have to be more precise in the future when the renewal has such a K12 stamp and go through it, Yle TV2’s channel manager Sasha Ikonen commented to Iltalehti.
Ikonen admits that it is a small-scale work-related accident, as Yle shows reruns of evening series in the afternoons. They didn’t know, however, that the nudity scene in question was in yesterday’s episode.
– These series have episode-specific classifications. The K12 marking means that it is not immediately included in children’s programs. At this point, there was half an hour between the episode and the children’s programs.

The channel manager says that he has received a few feedbacks in which the viewers have been upset.
– If that nudity is in the sauna context, even if a little more is visible, then it usually does not arouse any kind of reaction. This context, so I understand that it was very extraordinary, when it was in a police uniform in a TV studio and then such an unexpected (turn) happened. That probably caused this reaction, Ikonen sums up.
After the storm series is Leea Klemola directed drama series. The lead role is played by Kaarina Hazard. In addition to Holma, the series stars Mikko Roiha, Henry Hanikka and Laura Rämä. At the 2018 Kultainen Venla gala, the series won three awards.
