Brits admit to spying on what fellow passengers watch on public transport

Two thirds of Brits admit to snooping on what fellow passengers watch on public transport, a study has found. The study revealed that 62% of Brits admit to looking over their fellow commuters' shoulders and peering at their smartphone screen.

In light of this, UK train operator Grand Central has conjured up a list of the most public transport-friendly TV and film options unlikely to cause your neighbour to raise an eyebrow, gasp or tut - along with those that might be best avoided.

To prepare their list, data-crunchers compared key stats for top-rated films and TV shows from the past five years to see which are the most suitable for public viewing, factoring in their overall rating, genre, age certificate, if there are any adult scenes, violence rating and profanity rating. They also noted down the total length of film / a single episode, to see how this compares with its popular train journeys.
