To say it’s inappropriate for the BBC to show blatant nudity on In The night Garden?

We’re watching In The Night Garden on iplayer —to trick DS into thinking it’s bedtime— and we’ve just watched all three Tomblyboos strip their pants off and walk around, naked. It’s bad enough that both the Pinky Ponk and Ninky Nonk discriminate against the Pontypines and the Wattingers by making them sit in separate quarters, but this takes the biscuit.

WIBU to complain to OffCom?

Yes. Get a life

NoStraightEdges · 29/12/2017 18:16

Ha ha-it won't last long. You'll be able to watch infinite reruns of Ben10/My Little Pony/some other shite soon.

ElenaBothari · 29/12/2017 18:16

@kitkatsy I suspect OP is not 100% serious...

chocolatepudandchocolatesauce · 29/12/2017 18:16

Hehehehe

sooperdooper · 29/12/2017 18:17

Please complain to CBeebies, I'm sure the Execs there will enjoy a good laugh :)

AntiHop · 29/12/2017 18:18

Yanbu. Also better log it with 101, to be on the safe side.

TheNaze73 · 29/12/2017 18:18

I’d book some counselling.

You are in my thoughts Flowers

Slightlyperturbedowlagain · 29/12/2017 18:19

I think you should complain about the poor filmography as well. The scale of the different characters is very confusing, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for Upsy Daisy to be showing off her knickers when she dances. And why does igglepiggle never wear clothes?

NoStraightEdges we’re also fans of Peter Rabbit in this house. As much as I love the jazzy soundtrack I do worry about the glorification of theft...

And thanks for that kitkat clearly I must remember to add ‘lighthearted’ next time Hmm

Please do complain!!! I completely banned cebeebies in my house as no one talks properly and it's all like a bad acid trip. Utter nonsense

NoSwsForYou · 29/12/2017 18:20

slightlyperturbed I hadn’t even noticed Iggle Piggles nudity ShockShock although he does strike me as a very phallic shaped man

Gileswithachainsaw · 29/12/2017 18:20

I might watch it stoned one say though just to see if it makes sense then Grin

BIWI · 29/12/2017 18:21

You do realise that these programmes are developed by people who specialise in education, don't you? And it's proven that this kind of 'baby talk' (for want of a better description) apparently helps small children to learn language skills?

And also, that this thread was supposed to be funny?

Fuck me, it's depressing that we have to even consider putting 'lighthearted' into thread titles.

BishopBrennansArse · 29/12/2017 18:23

Oh come on, OP. They've got form.
It's been a while since I've seen it but from memory Upsy Daisy was always lifting her skirt WinkGrin

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 29/12/2017 18:24

Oh dear OP, you’ve forgotten to put lighthearted in the thread title. Grin

Slightlyperturbedowlagain · 29/12/2017 18:25

phallic-shaped Grin
(My Dsis loves night garden for her DS as an antidote to the US-produced moralistic kids programs that pass for entertainment in her in-laws eyes.)

NoSwsForYou · 29/12/2017 18:26

What is the point if the tittifers??

OP posts:
NoSwsForYou · 29/12/2017 18:26

YES Upsy Daisy and her brazen skirt lifting. Honestly. No wonder the world is so broken.

FannyWisdom · 29/12/2017 18:28

I always thought summat odd about Igglepiggle.
Very suggestive, bordering on erotic shaped.
Assumed it was down to my menopause.

NoSwsForYou · 29/12/2017 18:29

And why the FUCK is Iggle Piggle never in bed like the rest of them??

OP posts:
BishopBrennansArse · 29/12/2017 18:30

Oh and the Pontypines and Wottingers? Birth control, people 🙄

Silverthorn · 29/12/2017 18:30

Ups daisy also goes around kissing everyone. Macca pacca hands out "rocks" while completely undressed.

BishopBrennansArse · 29/12/2017 18:31

I think there's a lot to be said for Iggle Piggle being lost at sea and ITNG being a dying hallucination.

Silverthorn · 29/12/2017 18:32

Pontipines and wottingers are running poorhouse/ orphanages hence the raspberries and cream for Mr and Mrs and runny grobbles for the kids.
