Some of the comments make me despair for the children in the care of these morons.



'I'm not impressed, sadly. I had no idea the old presenters were going (no indication at all on the actual channel, considering continuity is a key theme of the programming it seems silly not to have done this, especially with the songs being so popular).

Just weeks of turning over because of skye and jelly were on, then the new people walked in this morning....my kid was not impressed.

neither am i, to be honest. they seem nice enough, but i question the logic of hiring a girl with part of her arm missing (and so obviously placed on display for kids to see it) to present cbeebies. my child was immediately freaked out and didn't want to watch. there's a time and place for showing kids all the "differences" that people can have, but nine in the morning in front of two year olds is NOT the place!

little overboard on the need for political correctness, perhaps?

What a load of erm......... rubbish

I have 2 x 2 year olds and it in no way freaks them out. I pointed it out to one of them yesterday and all he had to say was "CBEEBIES" very loudly and excited, I pointed out her arm and he said was "no hand" it clearly doesnt bother them and the earlier that they get used to seeing things like this the better I think. They are going to see things like this all the time whilst out and about. They used to call wheelchairs prams but now know different, I would never dream of stopping them watching it or changing channels because of something like that. Its something that they need to accept and not be hidden away from
