to complain about Peter Kay's 'Autism' joke ?

[densekay]

BBC One show last night, Peter Kay enters studio flanked by a couple of Children in Need 'Pudseys'. Peter Kay falls prone on floor & flails arms etc. Jokes he is 'autistic'. Laughter.

Not on iplayer, been cut. Very offensive so not surprised.

Is he that dense that he can't see it as unreasonable to get a cheap laugh from those with a condition that benefit in many ways from financial aid supplied by Children in Need?

Google throws up he often jokes at expense of those who are Autistic.
But on a show with Pudsey?

I think it not unreasonable to not only complain to the BBC but also wish a child with autism on him & his wife, maybe he would be less insulting.

haha - well usually first practice is a "non practice" with 1 or 2 people if we're lucky.

We had 2 adults, and 3 other kids turn up. Plus I know at least one other adult that's coming (just couldn't come last week).

DS2 is just sounding adorable with Once in Royals#

That guy Steve Hughes is fab- I've never seen him before, thanks!

Oh he's brilliant. Have you seen the bit about health and safety, few minutes in about Dutch cycle lanes?

"Is your bike wet?"

Roffle.

I will watch them all later when I get the speakers for the laptop wired up. I sadly have no anecdotes about him- but I like him anyway
