'Secret Intersex', which looked at people who would formerly be described as hermaphrodites, received 92 complaints about the accuracy of its portrayal of people who had Klinefelter's Syndrome, whereby they are happier living as a different sex. Some of the complaints came from people with the syndrome.

However, the regulator has ruled that it was not in breach of the accuracy code because the programme did not make any claims that it was a comprehensive study and, instead, showed three case studies of individuals living with KS.

'Animal Passions' received 75 viewer complaints from people who felt the hour-long documentary on zoophilia made the practice of bestiality seem normal, and could lead to emulation.

The programme was found not in breach because there was a clear verbal and visual warning about the potentially "deeply disturbing" nature of the programme. Ofcom also pointed out that it could only rule on the way subjects are treated, because the Programme Code states "licensees may make programmes about any issues they choose".

A third Channel 4 programme, the drama 'Third Watch', slipped up when two viewers complained about a firefighter having sex with a colleague's girlfriend during a 10.50am broadcast. Channel 4 quickly retaliated against the complaints by reinforcing pre-watershed procedures, therefore Ofcom considered the issue had been resolved.

Five film 'Amy and Isabelle' did not managed to escape a rap from the regulator, which was found in breach of the Family Viewing and Watershed Code after a 16-year-old girl was shown in a compromising position with her teacher at 3.50pm. Three viewers complained and, given the extreme tone of the scene and the fact that the young character may have attracted younger viewers, Ofcom found the programme in breach of the code.
