Children's TV

[ailbhe]

Radio 4 had a little bit this morning on Woman's Hour about CBeebies TV programming and the fact that it's all male leads with female sidekicks. Ha! I knew I was right! Whenever I talk to the people I know here about it they say "But Millie is always right in the end," or "But Mrs Gogglins always solves everythign really" or whatever - "But the female sidekick gets her goals in the end by slightly manipulative means, showing up the (somehow undiminished) male hero. then she makes tea."

It's just nice to know I wasn't insane and that it really is all male leads.

I agree. I hate Muffin the Mule more than Big Cook Little Cook.
