Two classic children's TV programmes have some new characters.
Peppa Pig has introduced its first lesbian couple with Penny Polar Bear telling Peppa she has two mummies - one mummy who is a doctor and the other who cooks spaghetti.
The addition of the new same-sex couple has received mixed reviews with people taking to twitter to express their thoughts:
Peppa Pig is an annoying little swine but I think it's brilliant they've added a lesbian couple, even more brilliant it's upsetting fully grown adults lmao

Meanwhile, an autistic train is joining the cast of Thomas the Tank Engine.
With the show kicking off on the 21st of September, kids will be introduced to Bruno the Brake Car.
Bruno the Brake Car enjoys schedules and routines, has an encyclopedic knowledge of the railway, and flaps his ladders and waves his lantern when he becomes overwhelmed by situations.
He is being voiced by by nine-year-old autistic actor Elliott Garcia from Reading, who the National Autistic Society helped cast.
