ITV and their warnings.
For those Coronation Street and/or Emmerdale viewers, do you find those warnings at the start unnecessary?
For example: Tonight's ED had a warning of upsetting scenes - probably to do with Lisa burning her hand when she opened the caravan door. Corrie before Christmas had a warning of violence when Aidan punched Adam, yet no warning for when Andy hit Phelan. It can be necessary for example with Ashley's dementia story in Emmerdale, but I feel ITV do the warnings unnecessarily. |

I'm guessing it's because people seem to get offended over the slightest little things now that they are just covering their backs "/
Anything and everything seems to give people a reason to be outraged and complain! |

Completely agree with you Jack. Only tonight I said to my other half when ED was starting "oh ffs not that distressing scenes warning again
"I'm wondering whether to write to them to ask if they can send out cotton wool to all their viewers so we can wrap ourselves up in it! It's gone too far now, at the end of the day we are all adults and choose to watch these programmes. Yes I admit I find the scenes with Ashley distressing and so sad but as a viewer I'm aware of the storyline and don't need to be warned I "may find some scenes distressing" It's like CBB on now, every bloody ad break that warning about scenes of sexual language, bad language, etc. it's big brother ffs, no s**t Sherlock!!! |

Yet if there is a repeat of the first episode of "A Touch of Frost" on ITV3 at 11am for example there is a flash of nudity
and more graphic violence.

Warning. The following programme contains scenes of a Sean Tully nature which some viewers may find distressing...

Sooner or later they'll offer a comfy blanket and a hot chocolate before each episode.

You think that's bad? When Five screen Wentworth, they have a warning before the episode and after the end of each commercial break!

I thought it was quite appropriate, the sight of Lisa wailing and screaming distressed me.

I thought it was odd a while back when "Reach for the Sky" (1956) was shown and there was a warning of offensive language at every ad break then just remembered what Dougie Bader's black Labrador was called.

I thought Lisa and Zak were going to get passionate... that would surely deserve a helpline
They way overdo it at ITV now... no doubt because of all the outrage every week over nothing. People love being outraged. |

Frankly if there's s a ' distressing scenes' warning I rub my hands and think ' Good. There' s at least a 90% chance I'll enjoy it
'Although, ahem, of course there is too much violence n soaps

It ITV don't warn people and somebody complains to OFCOM they'll be in hot water, which is why they cover their arses.

I think the warnings are highly appropriate. For example, the other day on Emmerdale, when they showed the scene where Chrissie and Rebecca were showering together naked, flicking each other with wet towels, it could easily have offended people.

It was offensive to me as it did not involve the adorable albeit slightly naughty HotRossBuns and sexy Squire Robert
