The Adolescence star Ashley Walters has said the show led him to limit one of his sons’ screen time, and that he “can’t even touch his device” for half of the week.

The 42-year-old, who played DI Luke Bascombe in the series, said he had started “drawing back on his son’s screen time” because of concern he was not always doing what he said he was.
