It's still not allowed in France for people who lived in the UK for more than one year between 1980 and 1996!

Dans la distance, oui, exactement!

I agree. Interesting that some institutions don't allow more than two externals on a programme (budget, 'standard processes', ...), making even IOPA considerations difficult.

I would expect all modules to have designated external(s). Whether they review will depend on module/year weights and priorities (eg final year projects much more important). Would expect more-useful long-term steer from accreditation and internal review processes.

This research by Ofcom, who decides what can and can't be said at different times of the day on UK tv and radio, is interesting: www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and... Crucially for non-native speakers, it gives guidance on level of offensiveness.
