Since the election and the appointment of John Whittingdale the BBC’s future has seemed ever more in doubt, and I worry terribly about that. I love Doctor Who, for a start, and I don’t want to see it go. But more than that, I worry about Cbeebies. It’s so good for disabled children and adults, really genuinely good – it has a show done entirely in Makaton and aimed at children with learning difficulties, a show starring a visually impaired little girl played by a visually impaired little girl, one of the presenters is disabled… (there’s also a lot of racial diversity, more so than the mainstream BBC I suspect.) It does such a good job, but I really worry it’ll be one of the first things to go when the hammer inevitably falls.
