Hit CBeebies TV series hit with ‘woke’ trigger warning as stunned fans say ‘it must be more savage than I remember’

A BELOVED CBeebies series has been hit with a woke trigger warning – 23 years on from its last ever episode.

Fans of the nineties hit have been left stunned as BBC bosses slapped a disclaimer on its episodes.

Brum was a show that originally aired on BBC One, CBBC and CBeebies from 1991 until 2002.

The programme was narrated by singer, actress and TV presenter Toyah Willcox.

It was focused on the adventures of a small and reactive vintage car called Brum who lives in a motor museum.

The vehicle met new people who helped him explore the world as he headed off into the big city in search of adventure.

But as fans enjoy their nostalgic trip down memory lane on iPlayer and new viewers are immersed in the show, Brum has been hit with a trigger warning.

A satire account snapped the notice and they took to X – formerly known as Twitter – with a snapshot of the disclaimer.

The warning on the picture read: “This series was originally aired in the 90s and early 00s and may reflect the language and attitude of the time.”

Reacting, one social media user said: “No, no, no. I NEED to know what might be classed as offensive nowadays in Brum…”

A second blasted: “F*** being a kid nowadays with all this nonsense going on.”

“The people who need this warning, how do they manage to get through a whole day,” fumed a third.

While a fourth humorously replied: “Brum must have been more savage than how I remember it.”

Meanwhile, Disney’s woke Snow White remake has been slapped with a series of bizarre trigger warnings ahead of its release on Friday.

The Sun also revealed last month how iconic Irish comedy Father Ted had been slapped with a trigger warning.

Channel 4 bosses fear 1998 episode Are You Right There, Father Ted could upset today’s viewers because of its language and scenes of racial impersonation.
