Surely that's the wrong way around.

Jesus, what a load of crap. Are we all so immersed in the Cult Of The Child now, that they have to be "protected" from every aspect of life?

What a wrench it's going to be for these mollycoddled little angels when they grow up and suddenly have all these "rights" taken away from them.

I don't want to come over Anne Widecombe, but are we suggesting that stuff with a point, educational things, children doing excellent works will no longer be de riguer?
Instead we'll expect them to take part in the absolute dregs of Cowell inspired shieght?

Will we still be allowed to see them falling over on home video shows?

But she is

No more Green Balloon Club?

Good old Government....completely arse about as usual.

What we don't need are those kids on talent shows where they learn nothing, cry a lot and are exploited for material gain. Oh No! Ban them from wildlife shows, Blue Peter and anything that can educate them...bloomin' ridiculous!

No Royal Institute Christmas Lectures!!

If they have their way, the only kids allowed on telly will be the type who just want to be "famous", rather than the ones who actually have an interest in the world around them.

I like the one where the cat leaps out and knocks a toddler over. I could watch that again and again

Find Suzi Q...she has that as her Av.

oh I hated those kids, the annoying little nerds.

Why Don't You? was the highlight of my summer holidays as a kid

Does this also mean that my sons Saturday Roadhog appearance would never have happened?

Who on earth gets paid for dreaming these ridiculous ideas up?

Soon they won't be allowed to go to school, because while getting from their house to school a paedo might spot them.

thing is, the decision was made due to channel 4's show Boys And Girls Alone AND televised talent contests...basically the poor darling fighting and crying made people complain to ofcom or something.

yet they are not banning shows where children sing,dance or act...just FACTUAL shows.

saturday mornings and kids tv qill never be the same

They have to do this, otherwise the children will be photoshopped into oblivion, which will in turn force them into a life of crime!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!!!!!!11

Presumably the government is concerned that normal non-stage school kids will show the government up by being more intelligent than most of them.

They are better on TV then Gordon Brown

It's all okay. Apparently, there are going to be compulsory 'emotional risk assessments' for kids who are scheduled to appear so everything will be fine, especially for people applying for the new Guardian jobs including Under 14s Emotional Risk Outreach Worker and the three levels of manager to support the role. All with public sector final salary schemes, I expect.

Best all have individual headphones for the TV so we do not infringe of the aural rights of others.

Will we need ISA checks to watch the emotional-risk assessed under 14 years olds in case there's a viewer somewhere who is pervy enough to want a tommy tank after watching Blue Peter?

My OH is far too keen on Konnie Huq.
Does that count?

So next time I tell my kids they are grounded till they are 18 with no tv or music, no magazines, no going outside the front door unless it's for school (which I will take them to and pick them up from) and they laugh at me for being overdramatic I can tell them it's ok by the government?

Makes me laugh when I read the Government are going to do this and that, as if its some alien Monster which can do as it likes.
The Government is just a clueless scotsman and a few of his cohorts who have no authority to do anything unless we say so. If they act against the wishes of the people they should be booted out.
