AIBU to think that Danny Dyer "t*nguing a princess" is not appropriate for its intended audience

[JustPoppingOut]

Danny Dyer's Right Royal Family two part series airs tonight, tracing his ancestry back to royalty (first uncovered in Who Do You Think You Are).

This programme has been heavily promoted in the press and on Radio 1 and he has generally been banded about as a national treasure since his daughter won Love Island in the summer. We took our DCs to see him and his daughter in Nativity the Musical at Christmas and my 11 year old DD loves the two of them now.

When I heard the advert for this programme on Radio 1 this morning I texted my DD the trailer for it, thinking it was something she'd enjoy watching on iPlayer (as suggested in the advert). When I actually watched the trailer though, one of the first things he says as his car drives past Buckingham Palace is "Why aren't I plotted up there...tonguing a princess?"

AIBU to think this is really misjudged, not just on his and the programme makers part but on Radio 1 for promoting the programme to such young listeners?

No I wouldn’t tongue him

It’s actually quite interesting
I can imagine the younger gen actually getting into history a bit more because many history docs are really staid and dull

My dad called him 'an irritating cockney piss-weasel'

Dyer by name, dire by nature

I can’t stand Danny Dyer. So overrated it’s unbelievable.

So he’s gone to Scandinavia tracing his family history and they are teaching him Viking/Scandinavian historical things

He's an absolute fool.

Danny Dire indeed.

Means oral sex where I'm from.

I love history so have set it to record, however I watched the NTA's last night. Neither me or DH had a bloody clue what he and his daughter (and the other bloke) actually said so I'm doubting i will actually watch it now!

DD just seems so different to his contemporaries like John Simm and David Morrisey but they have stayed in touch and socialized together (saw some tweets arranging a night out a few years back.)

Simm wouldnt entertain reality TV for a nanosecond from what i can tell (dont blame him either)

Means kissing to me, however he's a nob.

Stick to Lucy Worsley, she's safe.

Also, to be fair to Radio 1, it was you who promoted it to a child.

@Nottobesoldseparately

I’m enjoying the historical element of it
He’s not taking the piss out of it he’s well into it

I watched about 10 mins of this drivel then turned over. Utter crap.

I’m actually enjoying it and his enjoyment of learning about his history and history in general.

If I was an innocent child I'd have thought it meant tongues wagging - so gossiping about a princess

South East and always been snogging

Nothing wrong with trying to make history appealing to the masses/young ‘uns. In fact, it should be applauded.

You’ve still got your Lucy Worsley and Dan Snow for gods sake, why not this for a different audience?!

Haha definitely doesn't mean kissing in my social circle. Could lead to some very er 'interesting' misunderstandings!
