    Typically it’s toilet humor (which the Australian viewers are more casual about), but apparently there’s some cut/altered/restored content on both sides of the fence. https://blueypedia.fandom.com/wiki/Censorship_of_Bluey has the breakdown by season. Look for reasons with “Regional difference” in bold. Lots of things that “might be dangerous” are cut in the BBC versions. I find it kinda funny, but maybe I’m a dumb American lout. For example, in an episode about playing with balloons, they cut a scene showing Bluey blowing up the balloon because of “concerns about children with asthma wanting to do the act” 🙄

      Cut sequences: … the scene where Bluey talks underwater because talking underwater may be dangerous and can cause drowning.

      What’s the target audience of this show?

        Apparently, it’s hospitalised children with severe asthma, allergies and motor disabilities. I’m glad someone finally thinks of them.

            That’s fair! If I paid for every movie and show I watched, I would have negative money. I only have HBO and tons of private trackers and hard drives.

            Quick edit: I do pay for smaller productions. I’m happy to support Not4Sale: TV Sheriff and the Trailbuddies.
