So we watch strictly with our kids on a Sunday as the Saturday show goes on a bit late. We record the late night rerun with the sign language.
my daughter put the recording on this morning, there was a bit of the previous show on before it, and before I know it, there’s a bloke lying on a bed, naked from the waist down, with his penis attached to some kind of truss.
I ran for the remote, but my girls saw enough to be absolutely horrified. And I feel utterly terrible that they’ve been exposed to that sort of image.
MY AIBU is- should the BBC not be much more conscious of what they put on straight before a strictly rerun, because even though it’s on late, it’s a family show so could very conceivably be recorded by a family to be watched by children, especially as this is the sign language version, so some families would only watch this version.
Im so appalled and have made a complaint. Don’t know how I could predicted this but maybe I am BU and it’s my cock up (so to speak).
AIBU?
A penis straight before the Strictly late night rerun- AIBU?

I think I'd rather see someone's foreskin being stretched than watch Strictly anyway
But yes, iPlayer next time perhaps!

I can’t say anything but YABU because it’s 2022 and you don’t need to record anything…

I think YANBU to be upset by this. So parents of children with a disability have to vet recordings of shows with sign language because they're only shown after the watershed and therefore there might be a penis on beforehand?!
Everyone saying 'use iPlayer' - genuine question, but where are the signed programmes? I can't find them. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms but they're not easy to locate if there are there at all.

Here’s me coming here cause I thought you were asking if it was ok to get the D before strictly. Disappointed 🤣

Iplayer is crap. Recording is way better especially if you have to stop halfway through, or fastforward through the rubbish parts. It also doesn't buffer or freeze.

I get what many are saying that as it’s late night programming anything goes, that’s fair.
But also not everyone uses iplayer and so realistically the late rerun will be recorded by some families, and it just didn’t seem responsible to me.
despite me not being Liz Truss

I really never considered the risk of seeing a man trying to stretch his foreskin before a strictly rerun, but seems like that was me being naive.
😂sorry but I nearly wet myself reading that!! 😂
Also disappointed you weren’t asking if it was ok to have a dick before strictly!!
