MP Peter Luff has kicked up a stink in the Commons about a children's BBC show based on toilet humour.

The Mid-Worcestershire MP, who recently stoked outrage over the BBC's showing of the expletive-laden Jerry Springer - the Opera, questioned whether it was public broadcaster's job to provide such entertainment.

The official website for the show, Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, features children wearing their underpants on their heads and a game in which the character has to avoid "turtle poo".

Mr Luff asked Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell how the programme enhanced the BBC's claim for a new Royal Charter.

"Perhaps, if she is not familiar with the programme, I can invite her back to my office to see the website.

"She can join me in playing 'How low can you bungalow?,' a test to find one's response to grossly embarrassing personal situations, largely of a lavatorial nature.

"She can also view 'Pants Dancers in the Hall of Fame', which is photos of children with underwear on their heads, and play 'Make Dick Sick', a game that speaks for itself.

"Finally, there is 'Bunged Up', in which one plays a character in a sewage system, avoiding turtle poo coming from various lavatories.

"Is that really the stuff of public service broadcasting?"

Ms Jowell said it was not the role of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to determine decency standards.

She said: "It is the Government's job to develop a new charter for the BBC - it is then the BBC's job to determine standards of taste, decency and appropriateness."

Last month, Mr Luff wrote to BBC director general Mark Thompson demanding that he pull Jerry Springer - The Opera because it was blasphemous and offensive.
