ITC Warns Soap

The ITC has warned Yorkshire Television to tone down the plots of the soap, Emmerdale, after hundreds of complaints. In its quarterly review of programme complaints, the ITC says it is concerned about the introduction of a “tougher and more violent style” in the soap. The review says, “particular care is required in a programme scheduled so early in the afternoon and evening.” Recent plots include a post office robbery that led to a seige.
