OK, have managed to keep DD1 to a diet of CBBC up to now, but she will be 11 next month and off to secondary school in September so not for much longer.
What do your 11-13s watch and how do you supervise their viewing?

DS2 11 - QI, any programme about the solar system, stars and galaxies, the Simpsons

DD (11) loves Top Gear and QI, also (bizarrely) Grand Designs, Relocation Relocation and those rubbishy Police Camera Action type things. And a bit of Blackadder if she can find it but it is occasionally a bit too near the knuckle for my liking.

Also likes: Dr Who, Merlin, Robin Hood
All those Disney Channel programmes (has to watch them at a friends) iCarly, Wizards of Waverly Place, Suite Life etc etc

Plus endless anodyne pop videos on Pop Girl channel.

This thread is two years old, a bit out of date. I was christywhisty then and my DD is now 13!

It is still interesting to see what other kids are watching though.

lindipops · 24/12/2010 04:57
