Sex triggers the most TV gripes
22.05.12
British medical observational series Embarrassing Bodies has also attracted its fair share of raised eyebrows, with full frontal nudity - in the name of health education - gracing our screens weekly.
After sex and nudity, language and then violence were the issues to attract the most complaints.
Free TV's report comes less than six weeks after the Australian Communications and Media Authority released a report citing on-screen sex and violence as among our biggest concerns on the small screen.
However, Free TV chief executive Julie Flynn said the increase in complaints was the result of a changed reporting procedure rather than a drop in industry standards. This was the first full year incorporating complaints submitted electronically through the Free TV website's reporting mechanism, she said.
"It's clear from the low number of viewer complaints that the code (the Commercial Television Code of Practice) is working well," Ms Flynn said. "In fact, 2816 complaints amount to less than four complaints per month per service."
