Review of Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig (2004– )
Charming....but beware of Youtube 'compilations'
23 February 2023
Youtube unfortunately have deactivated all comments under kids' videos...no way for parents to share feedback anymore. So in case anyone looks here:

Peppa Pig is a totally charming and well-meaning 'family sitcom'. There's plenty of funny scenes which will be familiar to parents. The eps are in bite-size 5min lengths. Perfect for the odd treat and nice to watch together with your toddler.

If you want a time-out, Youtube has a few uploads where 3 full eps are viewable: search for Peppa Pig "3 episodes". These eps are in full, with a total length of just under 15 minutes.

But beware:

over the last few years Toddler Youtube channels have become incredibly lazy: i.e. Automated. Instead of uploading a single video (say 5-15min long) with a coherent narrative, the channels now upload hour-long 'compilations' which are randomly-edited (probably by bot-scripts). This means if you're not supervising, your toddler will watch stories suddenly stop right in the middle of their narrative, and cut to the middle of a totally different 'episode'. This can't be good for learning! Even the official channel for Peppa Pig is doing this. And as Youtube deactivated comments there's no way to feedback on it.
