Umm, I dunno. She's definitely a little white doll based on a little black character.
Does make you wonder why the change - but then this show is sold across Europe, no?

If a company brought out a furry Bagpuss that was orange and white instead of pink and white you'd expect then to fix it for the next production run, so why is this different and no doubt claimed to be some form of "pc gone mad" shite?

What I find particularly irritating is that everyone really knows this has bugger all to do with racism, the article doesn't explicitly suggest anyone thinks it is, that anyone is offended etc. and yet publishing the article at all is giving it this implicit weight which no-one has actually really assigned to it.
