    Eh? Will people feign outrage at anything these days?

    If seeing his face on the news every day for the past few months didn't outrage you, a character who dressed like him in a 2001 episode of the Tweenies should make you explode with anger...

    The only outrage here is that The Tweenies is still on TV.

    To be fair, I think it was on CBBC, which is where you'd expect this sort of stuff.

    Apparently the Sun said people could be 're-traumatised'. What 5-year-old kids were traumatised the first time round, before they were born?

    Guys, somebody nearly choked on their cornflakes. But how many others were not so lucky?

    I'm actually tempted to lock this before it gets personal, but instead I'll just say "don't let it get personal"

    Doesn't go out of the realms of possibility that another Sooty or Thomas the Tank or Postman Pat could come along. New classics are going to start getting weirder and weirder for us people they aren't aimed at.

    Edit: Actually, having seen an episode of Pocoyo before I think it already quite bat****.

    Sadly as a parent you end up watching whatever your kids are watching so it isn't just 5yr olds. I'm with Agent on this, Tweenies is already traumatic enough

    So glad my kids are going through a Looney Tunes phase at the moment, I could watch those all day!
