TVI Program Classification
TVI is advertising that they will classify programs, with warnings "to help viewers". Where did I see this advertised? During an interval in "Commando" with Arnold Schwarzenegger, shown at 2 p.m. on Sunday!
According to IMDB, this film is generally rated "Adults Only" - not exactly appropriate for early Sunday afternoon, though TVI on-line considers it only M/12.
If TVI is worried about children seeing inappropriate content, why not use responsible programming, which is likely to be far more effective than a classification system.
It remains to be seen where and when the warnings will appear - permanently on screen, after commercial breaks, in printed and on-line programme listings, or just at the start of each program.
