Trigger warnings are getting sillier by the day. The first episode of the new series of The Couple Next Door (Channel 4, Monday, 9pm) came with a caution: “Contains strong language and scenes of surgery.”

Considering three of the main characters are either surgeons or anaesthetists, some surgery should surely be expected.
