..'Still, I wouldn't have guessed there was anything actually life-threatening about Peppa. Turns out, I haven't been looking hard enough. All this time, Peppa has been going on family outings in the car without wearing a seatbelt. In future – following protests from safety-conscious parents – she will be firmly strapped in. The company that makes the cartoons, Astley Baker Davies, has also promised to go back through all the past episodes, reanimating any offending scenes.'
