The BBC has, quite rightly, moved with the times, producing racy period dramas such as The Tudors and Versailles, often to critical acclaim.
One of the broadcaster’s most popular shows, Poldark, has also featured some scenes not suitable for television screens before 9pm.
Poldark airs on BBC One on Sundays at 9pm.
A similar moment was cut from the original 1970s drama; the vicar — then played Christopher Biggins — never ended up wrapping his mouth around anyone’s foot because the BBC deemed the scene too racy for audiences.
