Speaking ahead of a major conference on violence in the media being held in Parliament today, John Beyer, director of mediawatch-uk, said: "The results of this independent poll are very significant.

"At a time of rising social and criminal violence, manifested in the shocking level of gun and knife crime, we know there is widespread support for standards to be raised generally, especially on television."
