To think it's a bit early for Jurassic World to be on TV?

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom has been on ITV2 since 5pm. Now I'm not particularly concerned about this, I'm not going to start emailing ITV to complain or anything, but I do think it's a wee bit early in the day.

Jurassic Park came out when I was about 7 and I remember being really scared and having nightmares. The Jurassic World films are even more scary! Because I've seen them I know not to put them on for DS but it's not beyond the realms of imagining that someone who hasn't seen it might think oh a nice family film about dinosaurs and put it on for their young children only to frighten the life out of them?

Am I being precious? Are Jurassic World films fine for the whole family on a wet Saturday afternoon?

@MrMeeseekslookatme

Are you troubled by watching nature programs as well OP? I've seen walruses throwing themselves to their deaths off cliffs, zebra being eaten and baby animals being hunted by a pack of wild dogs. All before the watershed, but people call that family entertainment.

The only thing disturbing about jurrasic world is the inaccurate depictions of dinosaurs. Bloody velociraptors don't even have feathers FFS.

Yeah I do get really sad at nature programmes when one of the animals dies. There was one about penguin babies one time and it showed the parent penguin grieving for their baby penguin and trying to steal other penguins babies that I still feel sad about even now Blush

This would be fine if you got to hear the bones crunching

Btw OP I have also had the terrorised by dinosaur dreams since 1993. I embrace it 😂. I used to be convinced the raptors would come out of the toilet.
