BBC Air Jimmy Saville Tweenies Episode
As if the BBC couldn’t get in more shit than it already is.
We’re pretty sure there are a few heads rolling over at the BBC after they carelessly aired an episode of The Tweenies featuring one of the puppets dressed as Jimmy Savile. Although the episode was filmed in 2001 some how it slipped through the net and managed to be shown over the weekend, much to the disgust of the nation.
The official BBC apology reads:
“This morning CBeebies broadcast a repeat of an episode of the Tweenies, originally made in 2001, featuring a character dressed as a DJ impersonating Jimmy Savile. This programme will not be repeated and we are very sorry for any offence caused.”
We’re wondering if they’ll be showing Gary Glitter on Strictly Come Dancing next season?
