'Programming on the service that contains potentially sensitive language or attitudes of their era have carried appropriate warnings since our launch to ensure the right guidance is in place.'

Britbox has added a content warning to the Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em Christmas Special after the BBC launched an investigation into the sitcom using a homophobic slur.

The instalment in question received several complaints as Michael Crawford’s character Frank Spencer is called a ‘p**f’ after dressing up as a pixie. A spokesman for Britbox said: ‘Programming on the service that contains potentially sensitive language or attitudes of their era have carried appropriate warnings since our launch to ensure the right guidance is in place.’When a viewer complained over the episode when it was recently repeated on BBC Two, the broadcaster’s internal watchdog launched a probe into the scene.
