Though I've seen it on VHSs of Chucklevision and The Raccoons, which I wouldn't really say were aimed at under 5s! But yeah, Uc was retired in 2009 anyway.

Those Animals of Farthing Wood I have VHSs are U as well (only the final volume of series 2 was PG, though I never owned that one as I had off air recordings of those episodes), and that's easily as brutal as Watership Down... and that was shown during CBBC! It's fair to say even the worst excesses of Mr Bean aren't as bad as some of the things in that show.

That show had 2 different VHS releases- one as omnibus volumes (3 episodes per series) in 1994 & 95 which was the regular release, and another as individual, uncut episode (only one per tape, so very wasteful!) that came out as part of a magazine partwork in 1995 & 96. What's strange is that the final omnibus volume of series 2 has a PG rating (the only one of the 9 volumes that does), yet the 5 episodes that make up that omnibus all have U ratings as uncut, individual episodes- so why the same content was considered PG as part of an omnibus, but U on its own is beyond me. There's even 2 Uc episodes in series 1 which REALLY sticks out considering the nature of the show.

The DVD's rated PG, though I can't find any listings on the BBFC website that suggest there was a reclassification, but as all the indivudual episodes from the 1995/96 VHS releases are U rated (and the last 7 episodes of series 3 seemingly got released as part of the partwork, so aren't listed on the BBFC ratings), I can only assume there must have been.

A bunch of data got lost when BBFC updated their site a few years back.
