Though enjoyed by many middle-aged men, 'The Animals of Farting Wood' only ran for one series. The programme was then axed as it was seen as inappropriate. The first wave of complaint came from fans of the original cartoon. "How such a perverted and shameless send-up of such a much-loved children's TV programme can be allowed to air is beyond me. I think this supposed 'comedy show' undermines all of the important moral issues and values covered by its predecessor." said one vocal spokesperson who fought against the spoof.
