Fun fact: one episode of Peppa Pig was censored in Australia.

It was one about spiders, and basically about how spiders are cute, cuddly and there's no reason to be scared of them.

I mean, I sympathise with the decision... Just funny.

Now I’m imaging Australia requiring a disclaimer before any children’s show involving the outdoors or animals: “WARNING: This show depicts fictitious worlds where animals and the outdoors are not trying to kill you at every turn. We remind you to stay indoors and stay safe.”
If they do that let's retaliate by prefacing all episodes of Neighbours with "WARNING: This show depicts fictitious worlds where it's not raining 300 days a year. We remind you to stay indoors and stay dry.”
If it goes that far, they may as well have a disclaimer to set realistic expectations about maximum inclines that cars can drive.
