Suffolk Police are investigating how children of the 1970s and 1980s were corrupted by the depraved activities on their favourite television shows.</b>

Officers were aghast when they discovered how nudity, drug taking, violence and theft used to be rife on children's' TV in Britain - and they now believe those shows could be responsible for soaring crime in Britain.

A force insider said: "When we found just how explicit television for youngsters was in those days, it became clear why so many grew up misbehaving."

The officer, who asked not to be named, provided the Suffolk Gazette with a list of shows that were under investigation, and why:

<strong>Scooby Doo:</strong> Scooby and Shaggy were tripping hippies with permanent munchies

<strong>Snow White:</strong> Lived in a house with seven men

<strong>Tarzan:</strong> Paraded around in near nudity

<strong>Batman:</strong> Drove around at excessive speeds of over 200mph

<strong>Popeye:</strong> Covered in tattoos and smoked a dodgy pipe
