Humpty Dumpty - "Will nobody think of the children"

The Sun report that the BBC sanitised Humpty Dumpty for a CBeebies kids' show to give it a happy ending.

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All the king's horses and all the king's men

Made Humpty Dumpty happy again."

Oh for heaven's sake. I learnt the "Couldn't put Humpty together again" line when I suppose I was under the age of two and it hasn't traumatised me, although I am not too fond of hard-boiled eggs.

Apparently the BBC have previous form in this area as the fascinating story of Little Miss Muffet was changed on the same channel so that she made friends with the spider rather than fled from it.
