Maybe punch should have identified as judy

I dont get it either. This was how it was in the eighties

How ridiculous, the kids love punch & judy. The mind boggles

How is it inappropriate? Mr. Punch gets his come uppance in the end, making it a good moral tale for children. Maybe it could be made more palatable by introducing a human rights lawyer to save Punch’s bacon.
