Classic episodes of Coronation Street have seen warnings to viewers added to them.
It was first reported last week that fans of the long-running ITV soap had been issued a pre-show warning over an episode from 1968 which sees Stan and Hilda Ogden going out for dinner at a Chinese restaurant.
The episode sees the food being described as "foreign" and as a result, BritBox added a message about the episode on its contents.
The episode description reads: "Stan and Hilda’s Big Night Out. Stan takes Hilda to a Chinese restaurant, but she doesn’t quite get the meal she expected. With language from a bygone era which some viewers may find offensive."

However, the latest old episode to receive a warning is one featuring Hayley Cropper which has been praised by a fellow soap actor.
Hayley was played by Julie Hesmondhalgh from 1998 to 2014 and the iconic character was married to another Corrie icon, Roy Cropper.
Hayley was also the first transgender character in a British soap and Julie won countless awards for her portrayal.
The Accrington actress, 51, announced her departure from the show in January 2013 and her exit aired the following year in heartbreaking scenes as Hayley took her own life after living with terminal pancreatic cancer.
The classic episode, which is shown on ITV3, featuring Hayley now carries a warning over "opinions of the time" that "viewers may now find offensive".
The message read: "Today's classic Corrie includes transgender comments and opinions of the time that viewers may now find offensive."
The move has been praised by Hollyoaks star Annie Wallace, who was the first transgender person to portray a transgender character in a British soap.
She tweeted: "Thank you, @ITV, for preceding some of the current #ClassicCorrie episodes featuring Roy and Hayley with this alert. #timeschange #itv3 @itvcorrie."
A BritBox spokesman said to the Express in response to the Stan and Hilda episode: "Programming on the service that contains potentially sensitive language or attitudes of their era has carried appropriate warnings since our launch in 2019."
