why oh why would you take your children (talking about 7 years old) to see little britain???

i went last night to see it at hammersmith - and i was stunned to see about 6 or more young children there.... ffsake, David Walliams was prancing about the stage n4ked (as Sebastian) they were talking about the things that Matt Lucas may (or may not) like to do in his spare time - and swearing and sexual single-entendres (how do you spell....)

I have nothing against any other lifestyles, but wouldn't let my children near an ADULT show,....

it really put me off

    I'm surprised they were allowed in, I would have thought it was like a the cinema and tickets would have an age rating!

    ITA it's disgusting that anyone would take a child that young to see a show like that. I love Little Britain but it is NOT suitable for children.

    Lets be honest the kids have probably seen it at their mates houses anyway. I remember when I was at primary school we used to talk about the Young Ones, blimey I'd secretly watch it with my older brother who had a TV in his room.

    i think theres a big difference between them seeing it 'accidentally' and deliberately taking them (at £30 a ticket)

    err.... cos some of us find it funny??

    just because you don't like it doesnt mean no one else should? - anyway this isnt about whether the show is funny or not - its about whether it is appropriate for children to see an adult show/

    (and that thank you was totally by accident - i must have hit the wrong button)

    With the state of todays society, if they didn't watch it there then they could watch it from the comfort of their own bed on tele
    This country is called Great Britain. It would be called Amazing Britain if it wasn't for people like you pulling the average down
