No child under 15 should be watching BB past the watershed ever, and even then at 15-17 it's not exactly quality time with the kids. Stick to the almost sanitised version the next day if you have to although even that got done for racism.

i don't let my 7yo watch the hl but she sometimes watches bblb. funny to see her take on things. she loves karly and dogface coz they're blonde and pretty!! lol

The age group that watch BB is vast, the youngest i know is 9yrs and the eldest is 76yrs with all ages inbetween.

Sorry, my kids are well grounded! I let them watch what I think is appropriate not what some 'mary whitehouse nanny state' thinks! They can handle it, believe me they hear worse in the play ground aat school!

As it's aBB 10th year celebration On BBLB they have had a bunch of 10 year olds several times thus far talking about BB.......Thus outright encouraging youngsters to watch an adult format.......

CH4 loves all the pocket money they spend on the voting lines........

Targetting children to watch and vote on BB has been it's down fall in recent years.......A mature mind is required to see the depth of personalities........Kiddies just think it's like a human fair ground shooting gallary........Never mind the story lines evict who ever takes their imature whim......

I just had a disagreement with my 5 year old daughter about Hannah Montata; I don't want her watching it at all so as you can imagine BB is strictly out of the question.

I really do think even 9 or 10 years old is too young for BB partly becaise of the swearing, partly because of the adult/sexual themes but also because IMO kids shouldn't be up at that time. That is strictly adult peace time for wine and lots and lots of munchies!!

kisywisy · 15-07-2009, 03:41 PM

i don't see much of a problem with 12+ watching it. but when they are talking about wanking and all that, i do think we should try and preseve a bit of our younger children's innocence!! my 7yo knows about the human body and has asked about sex and i've answered truthfully, kinda draw the line at explaining what a wank is though!!

plus the HL are on at 9-10pm at night!! why are younger kids even up at that time??

Oh dear... I'm kind of regretting starting this thread as it sound as if I am criticising others parenting skills which I know is dangerous territory!!

I'm not having a go and I was actually thinking about younger kids ie primary school age

Yes, that's my point exactly... there are lots of themes in BB that I don't want to have to explain and don't even get me started on the language!

Kisy, I'm sure you are a delightful mother.

God, she's annoying. I'm just trying to delay the Hannah Montana phase as long as possible.. even if it means putting up with Peppa Pig for a bit longer

Not having a go either!

I just hate it when people say not to let kids watch this and that and then they are going to school and hearing a load of bull and believeing it!

I think watching something like Hannah Montanna is worse than BB, because the programme is about a spoilt madam who becomes a pop star! Unrealisic expectations! And then the merchandising!

Anyway my boys know that some of the people on BB are full of BS!

I actually started watching bb when I was 14, I've never really thought about the ages that watch it although I have noticed that there are a few youngsters on this forum.

Do you know, im not sure. If young teenagers watch it, I think it's fine as long as they take things with a pinch of salt and laugh at what's happening instead of taking things too seriously.

I remember back at school quite a few of my friends watched it. It was just another programme to talk about. Anyway bb is pretty tame compared to somethings on TV now e.g Skins

Oh Bratz too! I do not like tham at all. All these programmes are so aimed at little girls growing up way before their time but I know there is not a lot I can do about it.

My wee one has ALWAYS been into her music; I had an argument in Asda with her recently about the music being played; she said it was Bob Dylan, but it was definitely The Beatles!
