DOC Martin is the latest TV classic hit by trigger warnings — with viewers warned the medical show contains “medical procedures”.
The ITV comedy-drama, starring Martin Clunes , features the notice on its ITVX streaming service.
Doc Martin has been hit by trigger warnings — with viewers warned the medical show contains ‘medical procedures’
In one scene, Clunes’ Dr Martin Ellingham is asked to remove a mole from a patient’s face.
The removal is shown from behind, with no blood seen.
But bosses warned the show “contains a mild medical procedure”.
Another episode tells viewers they could see “one scene of moderate peril” after a man gets injured.
And a series three instalment warns of “scenes of injury which some viewers may find upsetting”.
In series six, people are alerted to “bloody scenes of a medical nature”.
Tory MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke said: “The clue’s in the name — it’s a show about a doctor.
“It’s another example of trigger warnings stepping over the line.”
We have told how TV favourites Rising Damp , Father Ted , Midsomer Murders and Michael Palin’s Around The World in 80 Days were also hit with warnings.
ITV was approached for comment.
