Last year footage of a huntsman carrying a mouse up a fridge in the Queensland town of Coppabella became an internet sensation – the huntsman’s leg span can be as large as 16cm. Not all Australian spiders are “very, very small” and some can hurt you. The episode had not been broadcast on TV because of its unsuitability, but was “accidentally published online due to a technical problem”, the ABC said at the time. This advice from the British-produced show was deemed to be “inappropriate for Australian audiences” and the ABC banned it from future broadcast. The children are then depicted picking the spider up, tucking it into bed and offering it some tea. In the offending episode, Daddy Pig tells a frightened Peppa that spiders are “very very small” and “can’t hurt you” after the eponymous arachnid enters her room.
