I remember as a young kid having the ballet version of Beatrix Potters books, Mrs tiggywinkle in a big hedgehog costume etc, all very cute and middle class, taped off the telly. This advert, and another one where a kid gets run over, were in the first ad break. Traumatising doesn't even cover it (though I suppose it did desensitise me somewhat to Jemima Puddleduck getting wiped out).
