Choose any episode of Piggy Page, and it is easy to see why it is so popular. It is colorful, and every role in the program is related. Piggy Peggy is earlier than her age, which provides another reason for young children to appreciate her. It's hard to imagine that almost no parents will disagree with the content, but one episode really can't be broadcast in Australia (not once but twice), and there is no internet connection. As the Daily Telegraph reported, there is no other reason except that what a character said is relatively harmless, but it may have fatal consequences.
Peggy is afraid of spiders.
In an episode of the controversial first season of Peggy Piggy, this spider was called "Mr. Skinny Leg". Among them, Page is dealing with a very common anxiety of young children: fear of spiders, sometimes called arachnophobia. In this episode, the pig father voiced by Richard Ridings did what any father would do. He appeases Peggy, the anxious pig played by Lily Snowden-Finn, telling her that "spiders won't hurt you". At the end of the program, Page shouted for a whole week: "We will all have tea with Mr. Skinny."
So what's the problem? According to the Welsh online report, there are many spiders in Britain where Peggy Pigs are born, but although some spiders may bite people, they are not particularly dangerous. Considering this, the wisdom that Father Pig taught in Mr. Skinny Legs seems to be wise enough. However, for some Australian viewers, the premise of this episode is controversial, because the spiders below are actually very dangerous.
Australia is full of poisonous spiders.
According to Australian Geography, unlike Britain, there are poisonous spiders everywhere in Australia. According to the Guardian, some of the most dangerous species found in Australia include red-backed spider, funnel web spider, white-tailed spider and tarantula. Between 200 1 and 20 13, more than12,000 people in Australia were hospitalized after being bitten, ABC reported. According to Weekly, although only one person died of spider bite in Australia in about three years, some "Peggy Piggy" viewers think it is irresponsible to tell children that spiders are no big deal. Therefore, this episode is banned.
The Australian Broadcasting Corporation deleted the episode of "Mr Skinny Legs" from the series, calling it "via Weekly". This episode returned to the Internet, but it was also deleted after parents complained. Nick Jr, a cable TV channel, even tried to broadcast this episode, but it was also opposed. Network response: "The description of spiders in this episode reduces any fear or danger;" This spider really doesn't look real It has a smiling face and is displayed with other talking animals in the program.
