Yep.

Everyone on TV who was funny in the 70s-80s somehow managed to be as
funny as **** (sorry) without saying "****" once.

****ing showoffs...

Though some, such as Dave Allen, did goon later to do so:

His final series for the BBC in 1990 caused controversy with a joke: "We
spend our lives on the run. We get up by the clock, eat and sleep by the
clock, go to work by the clock, get up again, go to work – and then we
retire. And what do they ****ing give us? A clock.

Though broadcast (which would have been unlikely in the 70s), it did
cause problems.
