I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this!
The Tweenies is a kids TV programme aimed at 4 year olds or thereabouts and has been around for a dozen years or so.
The other day the BBC played a repeat from 2001 in which one of the Tweeny characters appeared dressed as Savile and used his catchphrase: "Now then, guys and gals."
Ok, someone obviously never realised that this bit was in the episode and yes, it would have been better if it had not been shown but the kids watching the telly wouldn't have had a clue about Savile or what he had done - yet over 200 people have gone out of their way to make a complaint to the BBC - have they nothing better to do with their lives? Do they think they can get some money out of it or something?
I find it all a bit funny really but maybe that's just me.
