They just want children to get addicted to phones/iPads, no wonder children's attention span is so bad if they just watch what they want when they want and not wait for a programme they like to come on
Most Americans thought that the Teletubbies was made by someone taking acid or shrooms until religious nutjobs got ahold of it with the whole "Tinky Winky is gay and after your kids" insanity.
That fact made me think how that was around the time that south park came out. I was young and loving south park and my sister was watching teletubbies lol thank you for sparking a memory.
I felt sorry for Dave Thompson, he didn't deserve to be sacked as Tinky Winky, all because Moral Guardians thought that his portrayal of the character was too effeminate.
I will forever fail to understand how anyone (especially a fictional character) could hate another person because they are gay or even care about their sexuality at all. That’s like hating someone because they have twins. 🙄
2:07 Bob's muttering under his breath was difficult to understand. I saw the episode and he wasn't swearing. I don't know where people heard this innocent character swearing. 3:13 And no, Tinky Winky is not LGBTQ. His voice actor, Dave Thompson, didn't need to get fired over this.
Later versions straight up muted the "offending" mutter, ironically, WatchMojo used the censored version instead of the uncensored version (found only on the Original VHS)
Bob the Builder swearing would probably have made it as an Aussie edition knowing a few builder friends of mine. Unlike the episode of Peppa Pig that was banned in Australia depicting how spiders couldn't hurt you (understandable in this case but certainly not a scandal).
We had the bob the builder episode on VHS as a kid, I'm Australian. And It had him mutter "aw fucking hell" under his breath, still have the video at my nan and pops to my knowledge
Power of suggestion Do you know who actually swore like sailors The klangers Every episode had scripts that were full of exclitives but because it was all whistling no one noticed or just assumed it was there dirty mind
The death of children's television cuts me deep. I was born in 1987 so was born into the best time of televisioin. Presenters on CBBC and CITV were like part of the family, all happily introducing brightly colored cartoons and engaging television shows. When we finally got satelite TV, Nickelodeon became my favorite, I loved watching the shows they had, but not only those, I also enjoyed the interactions of the presenters and the way they intereacted with the children who were on set. By the early 2000's though, presenters had become a thing of the past, replaced instead with quick voice overs introducing shows during the credits of the previous show.
I was born in the early 2000’s so watched a fair amount of childrens television the classics like Fireman Sam,Bob the Builder,Postman Pat and Thomas and Friends I got to witness the tail end
I was born early 2000s and was brought up with presenters on CBBC and I believe on Cbeebies too. I remember when Ian Stirling (Comedian and Love Island presenter.) was a presenter for CBBC. Its weird seeing him do other things. I remember the puppets too. I'm upset that Kids TV is coming to an end, but then I realise that my sister watches the Pop channel and hasn't seen CBBC. This is as bad as when they took BBC 3 off TV. Robbing us of all our memories.
I feel so lucky that I grew up with shows like Raven, Dick and Dom, art attack, smart, demon headmaster, jungle run, Chucklevision and more,it’s so sad that so many kids won’t get a chance to see high quality programmes when it all goes online
I watched those exact things too it was definitely great and ofte taught great lessons. Seems like people are alsways going to be sensitive about things regardless
Part of the wonderful things about a UK childhood was kids TV. It sad to learn that will shortly come to an end unless kids have access to the internet. Let's hope a rethink is hastily made
I agree, especially as someone who has never lived in the UK but found out about both the CBBC and CITV sides of the problem through AMTV UA-cam videos*, and I think it would also affect Freeview Plus (I think) DVR users. * UA-cam recommended them to me in my home feed a while back, likely as a side effect of research I was doing for a fan-fiction I was writing. It sounded to me almost as though the people who made the decisions probably don't have children of their own because they're at work almost all of the time.
If Tinky Winky had darker face you wouldn't say that. I know Teletubbies is the show people pick their favourite by the colour of the skin. So if Tinky Winky had dark face instead of Dipsy I doubt you would defend him today
For your information, Tinky Winky is a perfect example of people watching what they see on TV, imitate it and make themselves look stupid. Bad role model, Dipsy for the win.
@@eph_loves_80s74My primary school bully called Dipsy penis head convinced his attenna was a penis. It took 3 weeks to realize he was wrong (He was abused at home)
I have watched lots of British tv shows and movies for only nine years when I lived there. My favourites were: Horrible histories Tracy beaker Trapped Sparticle mysteries Sarah Jane adventures Doctor who Dumping ground These are the ones that I remember watching on the television back then. Although I was born in Australia and I moved to England when I was six months old and lived there until I was nine years old. My parents were very strict with tv back then because me and my siblings were very young (in kindergarten/nursery, primary school back then except my sister was a tween or something back then).
Horrible Histories is still iconic even now. Loved it (the original 5 series run; the reboot is mostly dire from when they start focusing on one topic) and tbh I love it even more as a (young) adult. So glad the 6 idiots (what the fans call them) got thrown together on HH and are still going strong together with Yonderland, Bill (a comedy farce film about Shakespeare's 'lost years') and Ghosts. I've met Mike Peabody and Bob Hale (if you know, you know, but Ben Willbond & Larry Rickard) and they're lovely. All of them are.
On the other hand we did get a few AUS kids shows in the UK, I used to love Round the Twist; I still listen to the theme tune occasionally in adulthood.
I thought I was the only one who remembered The Sparticle Mysteries. That was sick. Escape from Scorpion Island and Prank Patrol were among a couple of my favourites.
My favourite UK kids show was Danger Mouse. In January 2013 the CITV channel (RIP) dedicated an entire weekend to classic CITV shows like Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Fun House, The Sooty Show, Sooty & Co and T-Bag. Danger Mouse was the most-watched show of the entire weekend, most probably leading to it being revived by the BBC a couple of years later. It's just a shame that you didn't include CHOCKY in this list as that scared the living f*@! out of me as a kid in the 1980's.
Danger Mouse is actually the most viewed programme of not only the weekend, but of the whole CITV Channel. It’s a shame they didn’t do another Old Skool Weekend earlier this year.
Our school or someone in my class I think was on funhouse I can't remember exactly I think it was a few people from a particular year I don't think it was all from one class or it might have been just one person from the year.
There's always the urban myth surrounding Captain Pugwash, of course. The episode where they supposedly mentioned Seaman Staines and Master Bates as members of the crew. Not to mention Roger the Cabin boy..
it truly is sad that children's programming is being moved from free television to paid services, whether cable, streaming or internet. after all, children have no money to bargain with, so they must rely on the kindness, caring and common sense of adults, who apparently only think about how much money they can get. it feels like humanity is moving backwards in some ways. 😞
The "Rainbow" clip was actually from a tape made by staff working on the show as part of a compilation tape to be shown at their staff Christmas Party, It was never shown on TV pre-watershed - IIRC it was shown post-watershed as part of a clip show.
I love Bob the Builder! As an American, its my favorite UK kids show. That said, it would be pretty weird for Bob to say the f word and its even more weird if he actually says it.
I am not surprised by all the axing of kids channels, as its been a long time since anything great was made. It probably died around the late 90s, just after i grew out of many of them(i was born in 1987, but i was clearly a 90s kid as i watched them all about 4 years old onwards). After i stopped watching, the shows declined no doubt. I remember endless greats like Chucklevision, Art Attack, Finders Keepers, Brum, Sooty, Round The Twist, Byker Grove, Zzzap, Dennis The Menace, The Queen's Nose, Bodger And Badger, Fun House etc, plus US shows like Batman The Animated Series, Recess, Rugrats, The Real Ghostbusters, Hey Arnold, Tiny Toons, Sylvester And Tweety Mysteries etc. Clearly the great times were over a long time ago.
it's a shame that things like tom and jerry and all the rest that kids used to love watching after school or whenever are now deemed dodge it's just sad, it's not just tv that they think needs stopping everything that kids used to do that is not really dangerous ends up getting cancelled or banned just because a few people get hurt when the majority don't,.
That Rainbow episode was never shown to children at the time but it probably would nothing these days . I saw it a couple of years ago and its hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣
Someone getting offended by Teletubbies is what's wrong with this world. And usually these are same people who take to Twitter to call everyone else a snowflake.
And don't get me wrong, of course there are lines that shouldn't be crossed - especially on children's tv. But a random character (that isn't even a person) having feminine traits is no line at all.
Oh stop it Tinky Winky is a perfect example of people watching what they see on TV, imitate it and people will say they have issues. Bad role model. Dipsy for the win
I'm supprised this video didn't mention Sooty and Co. on CITV. In one particular episode Soo the panda 🐼 was pretending to be pregnant 🤰even though she wasn't. She tells Sooty, Sweep, Cousin Scampi and Matthew Corbett that she feel like she has the entire Manchester United football ⚽ team inside her. Parents complained as it clearly shoulds like innuendo, however Brenda Longman who voiced Soo in Sooty and Co. and who also played Mo on the show explained that Matthew Corbett actually wrote the episode after seeing his daughter pretending to be pregnant 🤰 and said he wtrote the episode as sort of an educational piece and that there were jokes in it for parents too. I remember the episode, but I had no idea of the controversy surrounding the episode which is called 'Soo's babies' until it read about it on Wikipedia.
The controversy over Cerrie Burnell presenting on CBeebies (allegedly scaring children due to only having one arm) didn’t get a mention either and also that Tweenies episode with Max impersonating Jimmy Savile should’ve been mentioned
@@stephaniespragg5586 I agree with you Stephanie Spragg. Cerrie can't help the fact she was born with a limb deformity. The real issue was clearly that parents thought she would scare and / or frighten their children because they (the parents) are pushing opinions which are prejudiced towards disabled people and therefore teaching their children negative views that it's okay to be prejudiced towards disabled people which is 100% WRONG! Instead they should've explained to their children that she was born like that and that she couldn't help the way she was born, but that she (Cerrie) should be treated with kindness and respect just like everyone else, which clearly these parents don't have for the disabled.
Mary Whitehouse thought Wacky Races would encourage gambling by children. A Tory MP thought Rainbow contained left wing coded messages. Postman Pat had three fingers - Yukuza members cut off their little fingers to show loyalty and courage. For this reason Postman Pat is banned in Japan
@@bigbigarchive not even that. in promotional materal maybe but aside from that pat, bob, the simpsons and any other 4 fingered cartoon characters aired as is in japan.
I remember watching all sorts when I was a kid growing up. The Munsters, DangerMouse, TopCat, Fun House, Knightmare, Tracy Beaker, Roar, Bamzooki, Escape from Scorpion Island, Jinx, Fireman Sam, Fort Boyard, Jungle Run, My Parents Are Aliens, Scary Sleepover, Raven, Sarah Jane Adventures, Sparticle Mysteries, Prank Patrol, Get Your Own Back, Dick and Dom, Streetphonix, Balamory, TikkaBilla, TeleTubbies, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat and much, much more. All the was my childhood.
Because of the Quran controversy, Mattel terminated their contract with Xing Xing Digital (the studio responsible for the scene) and the show was animated by DHX Media afterwards...
I’m sad to hear they’re closing the channels down. Coming home from school and watching Andy Crane/Andi Peters in the broom cupboard was a big part of my childhood.
“The end of kids’ TV as we know it” is hardly a scandal, it means exactly that: the end of kids’ TV as we, the audience of Watchmojo, probably millennials or older Gen Z, knew it. I’m sorry, but we’re old. Today’s crop of kids is growing up with streaming in the same way we grew up in a golden age of broadcast television. If there’s good kids’ TV out there, they’ll find it. The challenge will be making sure it’s commissioned at a time when financial models are changing in TV and costs are rising, but that’s another story.
I get what you are saying but did you miss the bit about all the children that DON’T have internet access? Both CBBC (aimed at children) and BBC4 (aimed at older people) are already available online so people can stream them if they want. Making them exclusively available online adversely affect children from poorer familiars and older people who aren’t online. Also, don’t forget that they made BBC3 a completely online channel only to backtrack. It turns out that when more people could watch those shows, they did. What really sucks is that they made such a big deal about bringing BBC3 back to regularly TV only to then announce that they were taking away CBBC and BBC4
So, yes, there will be some that this adversely effects, but 1.5 million households is not as big as it seems. That’s about 5% of the UK, compared to 11% of households who didn’t own a TV up until as recently as 2013, so through the whole golden era of broadcast TV. Getting internet access for all is a much bigger question than who has TV access, but hopefully, with the Broadcast Bill going through Parliament and the potential for a digital-to-IP switchover in the future, initiatives will be put in place to close the gap when it comes to TV. Besides, the number of houses with no Internet shrinks organically every year (it was 8% just a year earlier). When it comes to BBC Three, most of that backlash came from the fact that streaming was in its very nascent days in 2016, and broadcast viewer numbers were far higher. I think it was a case of wrong place, wrong time, because it’s young people who are leading the charge to VOD, including broadcaster VOD. For example, I Kissed A Boy’s iPlayer numbers were far higher than the tiny linear figures it brought on BBC Three, but it’s still been applauded as a huge success, showing that, although there is still a lot to iron out, we are starting to measure success differently now that viewing habits are changing, and I’m sure kids’ TV will set the tone for the next decades.
Do you have kids? Because I can tell my kids and most kids I'm around prefer to watch what we grew up watching & playing. Even Mario & Sonic are still relevant. Don't let the influx of rubbish fool you. These kids rather have the childhoods we had. They're toys aren't even as cool & they're poorly planned out.
@@JoeBleasdaleReal These are all good point and I hope you are right. I didn’t realise that the number of households that don’t have internet access was dropping so quickly. However, as of now, only 52% of the UK has full fibre access. I know a family who lives less than a mile from me, who has spent a lot of money trying to get reliable internet but they still don’t have it. They are far enough into the countryside that there just isn’t the infostructure to give them fast reliable broadband. Sometime it works but others they can’t even watch a UA-cam video because they just can’t connect. Hopefully, in the near future, everyone in the UK will have access to good reliable internet. As of now, even if most people do have internet, that is no guarantee that it will work well enough for them to watch shows when everything goes online.
@@aaropajari7058 - Exactly - I think the Beeb is in total denial about JS. As a kid growing up in a ratbag street in Portsmouth, none of the parents would allow their kids to write to Jim Will Fix It because they knew he was a total creep.
There's a thing where Johnny Rotten said he was banned from the Beeb because he raised issues with Jimmy Saville. The Beeb knew about Saville but turned a blind eye. Just the same as you'd hear less than subtle comments about Rolf Harris "preferring the younger generation" in an episode of the Goodies.
I really hate how kids tv shows are gonna be online only like i didnt have internt when i was younger. ok sure its not as hard to acsess things like i player now but theres still alot of people who wont have acsess to watch theses shows and its such a shame that now people wont grow up with clasic shows like jungle run basil brush and raven just to name a few.
Also with the Bob the Builder clip is that he's also got wallpaper glue on his face and you need to tell kids not to do that. The reason Tinky Winky has a handbag is because some little kids pretend to play as their mum. And he's antenna is supposed to represent how some people put hangers on old TVs to get a signal and that's the official statement you can choose to believe or not. Channel 5 used to show some weird programming back in the day. Dick and Dom in da bungalow just got crazy and crazier.
@@DanBen07 I always preffered Dipsy over him. I just feel he's the more sensible and decent and cleaner one. Tinky Winky? I don't get a good vibe from him. And anyone who likes him or defense him or calls him their favourite..well you have issues. I don't see how people can like a character like him
British humour is very different from American humor. That said, i have enjoyed Mr. Bean, Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served, and Coupling, among others. Not too many children's shows made it here, I'm afraid. Besides that, I'm way too old for most of them.
I live in America, and I hope they don't pull the type of crap like the UK channels did with the kids tv, because my brother has autism, and the only type of internet we have is the tv; two iPads; and our own personal iPhones. At night, he usually watches PBS Kids when everyone besides him and I go to bed.
As an 18 year old I still watch News round now. I struggle to watch the news as I find it stresses me out and triggers anxiety. Having a more simplified/ censored version of it helps
Never have i been more pleased to have been born in the 80’s and raised in the 90’s with classic shows count duckula mummies alive thunder cats dragon ball z and more and I think I turned out well sad for the future of children’s tv
The Christmas Tape was such a television culture tradition of the 70s and 80s. Seeing them surface online is always a joy. The BBC and ITV ones are especially funny, although I also seem to remember a Christmas Tape from the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation also appear, in a poor quality video. I need to find it again.
The stories and controversies that have come out of Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow are absolutely legendary. My favourite one being Rachel Stevens never being allowed to go on the show again and also being made fun of during the episode after the one she appeared on because she refused to get gunged.
I'm not so sure the Fireman Sam and 'tubbies scandals are eligible to be classed as light-hearted. Another one that sticks out to me which isn't on the list is Tweenies where Max dresses and speaks like Jimmy Saville.
I believe the actual reason Dave Thompson was fired from Teletubbies was because at the same time, he was doing an off-colour cabaret act. Not really a problem because no-one knew who was inside the Teletubby costumes, but the newspapers drew attention to it and made such a big deal about the star of a pre-schoolers programme appearing in an adult show, that the BBC felt it reflected badly on Teletubbies and sacked him.
The "Rainbow" segment is presented here out of context, but the narration tries to disclaim it. The 'episode' of course was specially made for a private viewing at the TV studio's christmas party. Leaked copy then circulated on the on pre internet bulletin boards.
@jagmarc I know but they said it was "accidentally" released on TV. Either they released to be funny or someone was getting canned and said F You and released it
I think you'll find it's 'alluded to had been' so. The passive voice and selective omission is extensively used in writing to allow the listener to incorrectly believe something which is false - without actually stating anything untrue
After seeing so many articles about the Rainbow clip, I was expecting this to be another one full of falsehoods, but this one actually got it right - it did air on Channel 4 as part of the late Victor Lewis Smith’s fantastic TV Offal. Now, if only the “rude” Captain Pugwash names could stop being passed around as truth…
The Teletubbies were beings OF INDISCRIMINATE GENDER!! WHY did all these "adults" have to sexualise something for children?!!!? Gah I'm angry again about it!
Should I feel bad that the idea of doing lines off the back of a tortoise is so wildly absurd I laugh? Also fave kids TV shows The Crystal Maze (not strictly kids but i was mega popular with us) Knightmare
This video showed me the reason why Channel 4's Full English showed more adult stuff then Family Guy, some british shows have more freedom with what they can show but i still don't understand why Naked Jungle was for youngsters, like you said.
I enjoy some of the WatchMojoUK content but I wish you guys would fact check sometimes, the Rainbow episode shown was a Christmas joke filmed just for the crew. It was added on an adult bloopers video in the 80s as a funny skit. It was NEVER broadcast to children.
(5:10) I had seen vaguely similar images in some nightmarish daydreams I had experienced, and I think that may have originated from me seeing that or a similar still on a website or a social media post some years back.
tbf bbc three was an online only channel for a while and then it came back to tv so i wouldnt be surprised if the same happened with cbbc, cbeebies and citv too
What about Captain Pugwash and the names of his crew? I won't mention them here as I might get banned by UA-cam, but I'm sure you can look them up somewhere.
I will always remember when one of the ladies on CBeebies was complained about for the fact that she had half an arm. Parents are so dumb, she should not have been targeted like that
Here's a fun fact about the Tinky Winky "scandal": for some reason, this controversy has spilled to Poland, someday back in the 2005-2007 years when the world wasn't yet THAT much interconnected and we weren't importing every Anglosphere-born social trend/issue the second after it emerged abroad, as we (sadly) kinda do today. :D Especially one politician - Ewa Sowińska - raised awareness of Tinky Winky's red handbag, calling it an element of "gay propaganda" targeting kids. Her statements attracted some (mostly tabloid-ish) media attention both in PL and abroad, and were part of a long series of funny or embarrassing gaffes by the ruling coalition, what damaged Western European countries' opinion about Poland a little bit and was one of the many reasons that government soon collapsed. :D
Only on Sky not Freeview You do have Ceebeebies still and Pop and Tiny Pop Pop is only a recent thing as I was coming to the end of Kids/Early Teens TV in 2017/18. Pop used to show a mix of Little Kids and Older Kids I thought it was cool as it was on 24 hours a day and The Bigger Kid/Teenager stuff was on after 7PM Traditionally when Ceebeebies shuts down and Little Kid Stuff dominated the Morning. But Now I believe Pop is for Older Kids/Early Teenagers and Tiny Pop is for Little kids that's on Freeview. Although my Stepmum's granddaughter who is 7 or 8 when I've seen her watch Kids TV when we were on Holiday I got asked to put it on for her was watching Pop but then wanted me to change it to CITV. But tbh I don't think she watches Kids TV anymore maybe Ceebeebies still or CITV which is no more so I think she watches Harry Potter and stuff ay gonna be long before she has to do The Hunger Games or stuff I have the Films and Books she can borrow when she gets to that stage. I myself stopped watched Kids TV when I was 13 or 14 and watched Top Gear old one, UA-cam or went out or played PlayStation, I also watched the News and tried either at Night or Sunday Mornings to watch Match Of The Day.
2:49 you used the wrong part. probably the wrong version too. earlier versions of the episode had what sounds like "fucking hell i thought this was going to be easy", which was muted in later releases
I can see newsround being a brilliant youtube channel for kids, some people like myself don't even have TV because I don't watch it and if newsround was a youtube channel they'd probably earn more money and get more viewers

@@Herowebcomics Right. I wonder which of the characters are masculine.
The fact that people complained about Fireman Sam to the wrong broadcasting station rather than doing a bit of research is absolutely hilarious to me.
Perhaps reflective of the demographic of the complainants.

2:07 Bob's muttering under his breath was difficult to understand. I saw the episode and he wasn't swearing. I don't know where people heard this innocent character swearing.
3:13 And no, Tinky Winky is not LGBTQ. His voice actor, Dave Thompson, didn't need to get fired over this.
Later versions straight up muted the "offending" mutter, ironically, WatchMojo used the censored version instead of the uncensored version (found only on the Original VHS)

Am I the only one who thought Jim’ll Fix It (Jimmy Savile) was gonna be number one? 😂
My mind immediately turned to Jimmy Saville. Which is never a good thing.😅

The Beeb is still in denial over JS, IMHO.
Missed the part where they said they were focusing on “more lighthearted” controversies, huh?
My british friend told me this
You could almost do an entire Top 10 for this based on Peppa Pig controversies.
Part of the wonderful things about a UK childhood was kids TV. It sad to learn that will shortly come to an end unless kids have access to the internet. Let's hope a rethink is hastily made
I agree, especially as someone who has never lived in the UK but found out about both the CBBC and CITV sides of the problem through AMTV UA-cam videos*, and I think it would also affect Freeview Plus (I think) DVR users.
* UA-cam recommended them to me in my home feed a while back, likely as a side effect of research I was doing for a fan-fiction I was writing.
It sounded to me almost as though the people who made the decisions probably don't have children of their own because they're at work almost all of the time.
They could put the programmes back on the normal channels. There's only rubbish on at tea time now.
Never understood the Tinky Winky controversy lmao. It’s a kids show, kids aren’t even paying attention to that kind of shit 😂
If Tinky Winky had darker face you wouldn't say that. I know Teletubbies is the show people pick their favourite by the colour of the skin. So if Tinky Winky had dark face instead of Dipsy I doubt you would defend him today
For your information, Tinky Winky is a perfect example of people watching what they see on TV, imitate it and make themselves look stupid. Bad role model, Dipsy for the win.

I have watched lots of British tv shows and movies for only nine years when I lived there. My favourites were:
Horrible histories
Tracy beaker
Trapped
Sparticle mysteries
Sarah Jane adventures
Doctor who
Dumping ground
These are the ones that I remember watching on the television back then. Although I was born in Australia and I moved to England when I was six months old and lived there until I was nine years old. My parents were very strict with tv back then because me and my siblings were very young (in kindergarten/nursery, primary school back then except my sister was a tween or something back then).
Horrible Histories is still iconic even now. Loved it (the original 5 series run; the reboot is mostly dire from when they start focusing on one topic) and tbh I love it even more as a (young) adult. So glad the 6 idiots (what the fans call them) got thrown together on HH and are still going strong together with Yonderland, Bill (a comedy farce film about Shakespeare's 'lost years') and Ghosts. I've met Mike Peabody and Bob Hale (if you know, you know, but Ben Willbond & Larry Rickard) and they're lovely. All of them are.
On the other hand we did get a few AUS kids shows in the UK, I used to love Round the Twist; I still listen to the theme tune occasionally in adulthood.
I thought I was the only one who remembered The Sparticle Mysteries. That was sick. Escape from Scorpion Island and Prank Patrol were among a couple of my favourites.
My favourite UK kids show was Danger Mouse. In January 2013 the CITV channel (RIP) dedicated an entire weekend to classic CITV shows like Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Fun House, The Sooty Show, Sooty & Co and T-Bag. Danger Mouse was the most-watched show of the entire weekend, most probably leading to it being revived by the BBC a couple of years later. It's just a shame that you didn't include CHOCKY in this list as that scared the living f*@! out of me as a kid in the 1980's.
I actually have an old DVD of 80s Danger Mouse when he was played by David Jason
Danger Mouse is actually the most viewed programme of not only the weekend, but of the whole CITV Channel.
It’s a shame they didn’t do another Old Skool Weekend earlier this year.
Our school or someone in my class I think was on funhouse I can't remember exactly I think it was a few people from a particular year I don't think it was all from one class or it might have been just one person from the year.
I remember that weekend!
absolute classic show,so so good
Play with our balls 😂 I’ve heard it was a drunk script writer from the carry on films
As Yakko Warner would say, "goodnight everybody!"
There's always the urban myth surrounding Captain Pugwash, of course. The episode where they supposedly mentioned Seaman Staines and Master Bates as members of the crew. Not to mention Roger the Cabin boy..
I remember asking the name of the cabin boy in a quiz I wrote years ago. Most teams put down Roger 😂
@@Harlequin19I think his name was Tom.
@@j0hnf_uk It was. I put it in to see if I could catch anybody who believed the myth lol
Pugwash's 2-i-c never had a name but was referred to as 'Mister Mate'. This, plus a dose of Mandela Effect, was the source of that particular rumour.
it truly is sad that children's programming is being moved from free television to paid services, whether cable, streaming or internet.
after all, children have no money to bargain with, so they must rely on the kindness, caring and common sense of adults, who apparently only think about how much money they can get.
it feels like humanity is moving backwards in some ways. 😞
The "Rainbow" clip was actually from a tape made by staff working on the show as part of a compilation tape to be shown at their staff Christmas Party, It was never shown on TV pre-watershed - IIRC it was shown post-watershed as part of a clip show.
They literally say this in the video
Are you one of those people who comments on a video before actually watching it all?
I love Bob the Builder! As an American, its my favorite UK kids show. That said, it would be pretty weird for Bob to say the f word and its even more weird if he actually says it.
so funny about Richard Bacon, turned into some hilarious sketches in Armstrong & Miller
Oh, hell, yes! They took the apologies to ridiculously hilarious lengths, and did so completely straight faced.
"We now know that was wrong..." 😆😆😆
RIP CITV. gone, but not forgotten. The iconic rivalry between CBBC and CITV presenters comes to a sad end
As an American getting my first glimpse of UK children's TV, I have only this to say: WHAT.
That first clip, the Rainbow one, was never published. Rather it was an in house christmas tape designed to be shown at the cast and crew party.
What fresh CGI hell is that Fireman Sam episode? Bring back the stop-motion!
I am not surprised by all the axing of kids channels, as its been a long time since anything great was made. It probably died around the late 90s, just after i grew out of many of them(i was born in 1987, but i was clearly a 90s kid as i watched them all about 4 years old onwards). After i stopped watching, the shows declined no doubt. I remember endless greats like Chucklevision, Art Attack, Finders Keepers, Brum, Sooty, Round The Twist, Byker Grove, Zzzap, Dennis The Menace, The Queen's Nose, Bodger And Badger, Fun House etc, plus US shows like Batman The Animated Series, Recess, Rugrats, The Real Ghostbusters, Hey Arnold, Tiny Toons, Sylvester And Tweety Mysteries etc. Clearly the great times were over a long time ago.
The clip of chris saying fluttering "kite" 😂😂😂
My parents never let me watch Rainbow as a kid. Now I know why. Like, OMG!
You can just imagine the writer's meeting on Teletubbies -
"Come on guys.. How can we make our show more suitable for children..?"
"SACK THE GAY ONE!"
RIP CITV
it's a shame that things like tom and jerry and all the rest that kids used to love watching after school or whenever are now deemed dodge it's just sad, it's not just tv that they think needs stopping everything that kids used to do that is not really dangerous ends up getting cancelled or banned just because a few people get hurt when the majority don't,.
That Rainbow episode was never shown to children at the time but it probably would nothing these days . I saw it a couple of years ago and its hysterical. 🤣🤣🤣
Someone getting offended by Teletubbies is what's wrong with this world. And usually these are same people who take to Twitter to call everyone else a snowflake.
And don't get me wrong, of course there are lines that shouldn't be crossed - especially on children's tv. But a random character (that isn't even a person) having feminine traits is no line at all.
And “woke, censorship libtards!”. It always the way.
True
Oh stop it Tinky Winky is a perfect example of people watching what they see on TV, imitate it and people will say they have issues. Bad role model. Dipsy for the win
True
You guys forgot about Max dressing as Jimmy Saville in the Tweenies from 2001...
That was uncontroversial in 2001, it only became controversial when it was reshown in 2013 after everyone knew about what he did in his spare time....
@@goldenboat9106they all knew what he was doing anyway🤪
I'm supprised this video didn't mention Sooty and Co. on CITV. In one particular episode Soo the panda 🐼 was pretending to be pregnant 🤰even though she wasn't. She tells Sooty, Sweep, Cousin Scampi and Matthew Corbett that she feel like she has the entire Manchester United football ⚽ team inside her. Parents complained as it clearly shoulds like innuendo, however Brenda Longman who voiced Soo in Sooty and Co. and who also played Mo on the show explained that Matthew Corbett actually wrote the episode after seeing his daughter pretending to be pregnant 🤰 and said he wtrote the episode as sort of an educational piece and that there were jokes in it for parents too. I remember the episode, but I had no idea of the controversy surrounding the episode which is called 'Soo's babies' until it read about it on Wikipedia.
The controversy over Cerrie Burnell presenting on CBeebies (allegedly scaring children due to only having one arm) didn’t get a mention either and also that Tweenies episode with Max impersonating Jimmy Savile should’ve been mentioned
@@stephaniespragg5586 I agree with you Stephanie Spragg. Cerrie can't help the fact she was born with a limb deformity. The real issue was clearly that parents thought she would scare and / or frighten their children because they (the parents) are pushing opinions which are prejudiced towards disabled people and therefore teaching their children negative views that it's okay to be prejudiced towards disabled people which is 100% WRONG! Instead they should've explained to their children that she was born like that and that she couldn't help the way she was born, but that she (Cerrie) should be treated with kindness and respect just like everyone else, which clearly these parents don't have for the disabled.
Mary Whitehouse thought Wacky Races would encourage gambling by children. A Tory MP thought Rainbow contained left wing coded messages. Postman Pat had three fingers - Yukuza members cut off their little fingers to show loyalty and courage. For this reason Postman Pat is banned in Japan
No, Pat isn’t banned in Japan it was just altered so the characters could have five fingers
There was never any gambling element in The Wacky Races so even by her standards that seems pretty bizzare.
@@bigbigarchive not even that. in promotional materal maybe but aside from that pat, bob, the simpsons and any other 4 fingered cartoon characters aired as is in japan.
I remember watching all sorts when I was a kid growing up. The Munsters, DangerMouse, TopCat, Fun House, Knightmare, Tracy Beaker, Roar, Bamzooki, Escape from Scorpion Island, Jinx, Fireman Sam, Fort Boyard, Jungle Run, My Parents Are Aliens, Scary Sleepover, Raven, Sarah Jane Adventures, Sparticle Mysteries, Prank Patrol, Get Your Own Back, Dick and Dom, Streetphonix, Balamory, TikkaBilla, TeleTubbies, Bob the Builder, Postman Pat and much, much more. All the was my childhood.
Because of the Quran controversy, Mattel terminated their contract with Xing Xing Digital (the studio responsible for the scene) and the show was animated by DHX Media afterwards...
well after they stopped start animation from an english company who did a sterling job for many years its just doesnt suprise me
I’m sad to hear they’re closing the channels down. Coming home from school and watching Andy Crane/Andi Peters in the broom cupboard was a big part of my childhood.
“The end of kids’ TV as we know it” is hardly a scandal, it means exactly that: the end of kids’ TV as we, the audience of Watchmojo, probably millennials or older Gen Z, knew it.
I’m sorry, but we’re old. Today’s crop of kids is growing up with streaming in the same way we grew up in a golden age of broadcast television. If there’s good kids’ TV out there, they’ll find it. The challenge will be making sure it’s commissioned at a time when financial models are changing in TV and costs are rising, but that’s another story.
I get what you are saying but did you miss the bit about all the children that DON’T have internet access?
Both CBBC (aimed at children) and BBC4 (aimed at older people) are already available online so people can stream them if they want. Making them exclusively available online adversely affect children from poorer familiars and older people who aren’t online.
Also, don’t forget that they made BBC3 a completely online channel only to backtrack. It turns out that when more people could watch those shows, they did. What really sucks is that they made such a big deal about bringing BBC3 back to regularly TV only to then announce that they were taking away CBBC and BBC4
So, yes, there will be some that this adversely effects, but 1.5 million households is not as big as it seems. That’s about 5% of the UK, compared to 11% of households who didn’t own a TV up until as recently as 2013, so through the whole golden era of broadcast TV. Getting internet access for all is a much bigger question than who has TV access, but hopefully, with the Broadcast Bill going through Parliament and the potential for a digital-to-IP switchover in the future, initiatives will be put in place to close the gap when it comes to TV. Besides, the number of houses with no Internet shrinks organically every year (it was 8% just a year earlier).
When it comes to BBC Three, most of that backlash came from the fact that streaming was in its very nascent days in 2016, and broadcast viewer numbers were far higher. I think it was a case of wrong place, wrong time, because it’s young people who are leading the charge to VOD, including broadcaster VOD. For example, I Kissed A Boy’s iPlayer numbers were far higher than the tiny linear figures it brought on BBC Three, but it’s still been applauded as a huge success, showing that, although there is still a lot to iron out, we are starting to measure success differently now that viewing habits are changing, and I’m sure kids’ TV will set the tone for the next decades.
Do you have kids? Because I can tell my kids and most kids I'm around prefer to watch what we grew up watching & playing. Even Mario & Sonic are still relevant. Don't let the influx of rubbish fool you. These kids rather have the childhoods we had. They're toys aren't even as cool & they're poorly planned out.
@@JoeBleasdaleReal These are all good point and I hope you are right. I didn’t realise that the number of households that don’t have internet access was dropping so quickly. However, as of now, only 52% of the UK has full fibre access.
I know a family who lives less than a mile from me, who has spent a lot of money trying to get reliable internet but they still don’t have it. They are far enough into the countryside that there just isn’t the infostructure to give them fast reliable broadband. Sometime it works but others they can’t even watch a UA-cam video because they just can’t connect.
Hopefully, in the near future, everyone in the UK will have access to good reliable internet. As of now, even if most people do have internet, that is no guarantee that it will work well enough for them to watch shows when everything goes online.
@@NuttersIncorporated btw, CBBC and BBC3 air on the same frequency, hence why one has always ended at 7pm and the other started then
How about the Tweenies Jimmy Savile controversy?
There's also an episode of Bear Behaving Badly where Mr Prank was impersonating Rolf Harris while entertaining a cow.
Jimmy who? ...asked the BBC.
@@aaropajari7058 - Exactly - I think the Beeb is in total denial about JS. As a kid growing up in a ratbag street in Portsmouth, none of the parents would allow their kids to write to Jim Will Fix It because they knew he was a total creep.
@@SuzyQ334 Him and Cyril Smith. Working people knew but not the BBC or other authorities? Says alot doesn't it.
There's a thing where Johnny Rotten said he was banned from the Beeb because he raised issues with Jimmy Saville. The Beeb knew about Saville but turned a blind eye. Just the same as you'd hear less than subtle comments about Rolf Harris "preferring the younger generation" in an episode of the Goodies.
Some cartoon Firefighter: ~slips on paper~
British Parents: "This Sin shall not be forgiven!"
I really hate how kids tv shows are gonna be online only like i didnt have internt when i was younger. ok sure its not as hard to acsess things like i player now but theres still alot of people who wont have acsess to watch theses shows and its such a shame that now people wont grow up with clasic shows like jungle run basil brush and raven just to name a few.
Also with the Bob the Builder clip is that he's also got wallpaper glue on his face and you need to tell kids not to do that.
The reason Tinky Winky has a handbag is because some little kids pretend to play as their mum. And he's antenna is supposed to represent how some people put hangers on old TVs to get a signal and that's the official statement you can choose to believe or not.

British humour is very different from American humor. That said, i have enjoyed Mr. Bean, Keeping Up Appearances, Are You Being Served, and Coupling, among others. Not too many children's shows made it here, I'm afraid. Besides that, I'm way too old for most of them.

The Christmas Tape was such a television culture tradition of the 70s and 80s. Seeing them surface online is always a joy. The BBC and ITV ones are especially funny, although I also seem to remember a Christmas Tape from the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation also appear, in a poor quality video. I need to find it again.
I had the Bob the Builder episode on video and my parents never thought he was swearing lol
God that accidental rainbow episode is beyond hilarious 😂😂😂
The stories and controversies that have come out of Dick And Dom In Da Bungalow are absolutely legendary. My favourite one being Rachel Stevens never being allowed to go on the show again and also being made fun of during the episode after the one she appeared on because she refused to get gunged.
Grizzly tales for gruesome kids was the shit
I'm not so sure the Fireman Sam and 'tubbies scandals are eligible to be classed as light-hearted.
Another one that sticks out to me which isn't on the list is Tweenies where Max dresses and speaks like Jimmy Saville.

I believe the actual reason Dave Thompson was fired from Teletubbies was because at the same time, he was doing an off-colour cabaret act. Not really a problem because no-one knew who was inside the Teletubby costumes, but the newspapers drew attention to it and made such a big deal about the star of a pre-schoolers programme appearing in an adult show, that the BBC felt it reflected badly on Teletubbies and sacked him.
4:03 Americans starting laughing 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm sure it was an accident Rainbow adult clip got released. I think the British term is Bollocks. Or the american term Bull@!$%
The "Rainbow" segment is presented here out of context, but the narration tries to disclaim it. The 'episode' of course was specially made for a private viewing at the TV studio's christmas party. Leaked copy then circulated on the on pre internet bulletin boards.
@jagmarc I know but they said it was "accidentally" released on TV. Either they released to be funny or someone was getting canned and said F You and released it
I think you'll find it's 'alluded to had been' so. The passive voice and selective omission is extensively used in writing to allow the listener to incorrectly believe something which is false - without actually stating anything untrue
After seeing so many articles about the Rainbow clip, I was expecting this to be another one full of falsehoods, but this one actually got it right - it did air on Channel 4 as part of the late Victor Lewis Smith’s fantastic TV Offal. Now, if only the “rude” Captain Pugwash names could stop being passed around as truth…

Everyone complained about pepper pig. As a child said she has 2 mummies
Does she Daddy Pig is a bloke unless he got turned to Sandwhiches
That Rainbow one was actually a sketch just for adults .
scandal aside, why do we have to give animals silly names like "Socks" or "Spot" or "Fluffy"?
My cat had the brilliant name of Mister Ellis.
I enjoy some of the WatchMojoUK content but I wish you guys would fact check sometimes, the Rainbow episode shown was a Christmas joke filmed just for the crew. It was added on an adult bloopers video in the 80s as a funny skit. It was NEVER broadcast to children.
(5:10) I had seen vaguely similar images in some nightmarish daydreams I had experienced, and I think that may have originated from me seeing that or a similar still on a website or a social media post some years back.

Over in the state we can relate it been at least 15 years that all cartoons left OTA
"but are focusing on more light-hearted ones." Clearly we all know if wasn't just the lighthearted ones than Savile would be number 1
What about Captain Pugwash and the names of his crew? I won't mention them here as I might get banned by UA-cam, but I'm sure you can look them up somewhere.
I will always remember when one of the ladies on CBeebies was complained about for the fact that she had half an arm. Parents are so dumb, she should not have been targeted like that
Here's a fun fact about the Tinky Winky "scandal": for some reason, this controversy has spilled to Poland, someday back in the 2005-2007 years when the world wasn't yet THAT much interconnected and we weren't importing every Anglosphere-born social trend/issue the second after it emerged abroad, as we (sadly) kinda do today. :D
Especially one politician - Ewa Sowińska - raised awareness of Tinky Winky's red handbag, calling it an element of "gay propaganda" targeting kids. Her statements attracted some (mostly tabloid-ish) media attention both in PL and abroad, and were part of a long series of funny or embarrassing gaffes by the ruling coalition, what damaged Western European countries' opinion about Poland a little bit and was one of the many reasons that government soon collapsed. :D
Oh well, babies and kids will just be watching only Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network for now :(.
Only on Sky not Freeview You do have Ceebeebies still and Pop and Tiny Pop Pop is only a recent thing as I was coming to the end of Kids/Early Teens TV in 2017/18. Pop used to show a mix of Little Kids and Older Kids I thought it was cool as it was on 24 hours a day and The Bigger Kid/Teenager stuff was on after 7PM Traditionally when Ceebeebies shuts down and Little Kid Stuff dominated the Morning. But Now I believe Pop is for Older Kids/Early Teenagers and Tiny Pop is for Little kids that's on Freeview. Although my Stepmum's granddaughter who is 7 or 8 when I've seen her watch Kids TV when we were on Holiday I got asked to put it on for her was watching Pop but then wanted me to change it to CITV. But tbh I don't think she watches Kids TV anymore maybe Ceebeebies still or CITV which is no more so I think she watches Harry Potter and stuff ay gonna be long before she has to do The Hunger Games or stuff I have the Films and Books she can borrow when she gets to that stage. I myself stopped watched Kids TV when I was 13 or 14 and watched Top Gear old one, UA-cam or went out or played PlayStation, I also watched the News and tried either at Night or Sunday Mornings to watch Match Of The Day.
Don’t worry about The Teletubbies, *THERE LITTLE HILL IS NOW GONE AND NOW IS NOTHING BUT A DUCK POND!* 😈
2:49 you used the wrong part. probably the wrong version too. earlier versions of the episode had what sounds like "fucking hell i thought this was going to be easy", which was muted in later releases
I can see newsround being a brilliant youtube channel for kids, some people like myself don't even have TV because I don't watch it and if newsround was a youtube channel they'd probably earn more money and get more viewers
