A penis straight before the Strictly late night rerun- AIBU?

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).

They don’t need to check the programme before is appropriate at that time of night, you do. Saying that, I am in this line of work (not at the BBC) and we run a monthly report to check all slots to see if there is a high percentage of children watching and if there are, we might be mindful of what was around it. However, I doubt this one would have flagged up. Sorry your kids were shocked, but not the end of the world!

I haven't watched "regular" TV for years as we just have Netflix and Disney. I'm surprised (probably also naively!) that there are men stretching their forskins out at all on the BBC!! To what end?? Was it porn?

Yes OP iswym, I'd be miffed about this too if it were me. It's another thing to have to double check all the time, and I can understand you not wanting your children to see that image. I can see how the mix up happened though of course, with it being over the watershed. Maybe they could sandwich all of the more erotic (?) adverts either right in the middle of the advert slot, or in the breaks of true crime series or similar, where the program content is also adult.

The BBC doesn’t have ad breaks.

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

Lmfao 🤣

I think I'd rather have my own foreskin stretched, over glass, than watch strictly.

what do you mean 'recorded'

Do people do that?

Duh. What a dumb comment.

Most TV I watch is recorded - on Sky Q box not a VCR, FFS. I do use catch up services too but recording gives you far more control and is much more convenient.
