Assuming you're talking about the '9 o'clock watershed' for adult themed TV programs. Theoretically, most younger children are in bed by 9pm - since they normally have to get up for school most mornings. It was decided that if the TV channels wanted to show programs or content that was unsuitable for younger people, the 'cut-off time' of 9pm was a marker for parents to let them know that programs shown after this time could contain themes unsuitable for children.
