Overview

• The streaming platform now flags crime scenes and satanic imagery across the classic series and requires parental approval for the series seven episode "Day of the Devil".
• Sir Alec Shelbrooke condemned the advisories as a sign of "soft-touch Britain" that could leave viewers unprepared for real-world content.
• ITVX said the labels reflect its standard approach to programming containing politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language.
• Similar warnings have been applied to Midsomer Murders, Vera, and archival shows like Crossroads to alert audiences to violent or controversial material.
• Online commentators have expressed mixed views, with some arguing the tags protect vulnerable viewers and others calling them an overreach of sensitivity.
