The current debate on Children’s television needs to take a close look at the vast difference in age appropriate programmes that are being offered.  The BBC is doing a great job with the CEEBIES offering a wide range of programmes that cover learning skills in a fun way without being stupid and over-the-top.  Once you leave that age group however, things start to get a little bit out of hand with programmes being either too silly, or far fetched, or in some cases so scary that children who are not allowed to watch PG rated movies prefer to watch CEEBIES!

Children’s television, as with adult TV needs to compete with the other choices for entertainment that are available, especially things such as X-Box and the Internet, however the programmers need to also consider what parents will allow their children to watch.  A parent may be more inclined to allow their child to play an age appropriate game on the computer rather than a TV programme that shows how people shouldn’t behave!

Those who are complaining about whether programs are UK produced or overseas should also note that parents don’t care!  What they do care about is the quality of the programme and whether or not we think that it offers “wholesome” entertainment rather than encouraging manic and careless behaviour.
