Overview

• Multiple episodes across several seasons now carry tags such as "contains a mild medical procedure," "surgical procedure," "bloody injury scene," and "moderate peril."
• The labels appear on the ITVX listings for the 2004 comedy-drama starring Martin Clunes, which has all ten series available to stream.
• Conservative MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke criticised the move, saying the warnings overreach for a programme about a doctor.
• Similar alerts have recently been applied across the archive, including Inspector Morse, Vera and Crossroads, with some episodes noting crime scenes, "satanic images," or "language and attitudes of its time."
• ITV has previously stated that programmes with politically sensitive or distressing themes have carried appropriate warnings since its launch.
