EastEnders takes on an issue that ruins children's lives every day in this country, and it gets 200 complaints.
The subject is paedophilia and some blinkered viewers just don't want it disturbing their nice, cosy evenings in front of the telly.
Where do these irate 200 ignoramuses live? Cloud Cuckoo Land?
How can it be wrong for a soap watched by 9.5 million people per episode, many of whom are children, to highlight something as insidious and damaging to family life as the sexual abuse of young people?
The decision to highlight what can and does happen to children behind the supposed safety of the family front door was a brave one. And, in my opinion, the right one.
As the divorce rate soars, more and more single parents are going to become increasingly vulnerable to the preying mantis that is the paedophile.
They will be deliberately targeted; seduced into unwittingly allowing abusers into their homes as partners, maybe even husbands or wives. But all the while, it will be their children the paedophile has set his heart on. That's exactly what has happened to the normally streetwise, hard as a nut Bianca and her 15-year-old daughter, Whitney.
This is how the storyline goes ... Tony is Bianca's boyfriend; she thinks he loves and cares for her kids. But the truth is he "loves" Whitney more than the others. He's a paedophile, pure and simple.
He has spent three years manipulating her into believing that the sexual abuse is love and makes her his "special girl". The process or turning an innocent and trusting child into one who will satisfy an adult's sexual needs is called grooming. The paedophile needs to build up enough trust to build a protective wall around him so no one suspects when he decides to strike. According to police and social workers, the process can take years and years.
This week, Tony decided to finish with Whitney - because she's grown up enough to argue back about other elements of her life he wanted to control. And now he's got his eye on an easier, younger new target. Shockingly, Whitney actually feels rejected because the abuse has stopped - and is desperately trying to lure Tony back.
It is deeply uncomfortable to watch.
It makes us the viewer realise how a real-life abuser can gain immense power over a child by employing emotional blackmail and playing twisted mind games.
And oh dear me, the Cloud Cuckoo brigade can't handle that, can they? Nothing too thought-provoking straight after tea.
Nothing too real.
These, I presume, are the same people who naively think that a paedophile is some weird old man who hangs around school gates and the local park, waiting to lure kids into peril.
But it is a fact that most sexual abuse of children is carried out by people they know.
According to the NSPCC, 11 per cent of children under 16 have experienced sexual abuse by a person known but unrelated to them, while only five per cent have been interfered with by someone unknown or whom they had just met.
The BBC has defended the plot, saying the EastEnders team has tackled the issue responsibly; its scriptwriters have worked closely with the NSPCC to get the storyline, and it's message, right.
Why can't all those Disgusted of Cloud Cuckoo Land objectors see that if something as simple as watching a soap could make single women - and men, because let's remember, children's abusers can be female - more wary about introducing a new love interest to their kids, then that can only be a good thing.
More vital, though, is this; how many kids, sitting there on their sofas or alone in their rooms, will see what hoops Whitney is jumping through to please Tony, her mum's boyfriend - the man who has sex with her - and recognise themselves?
