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

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

Now they are considering bringing charges again makers of the offending shows and films.

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 a list of shows that were under investigation.

Scooby Doo: Scooby and Shaggy were clearly tripping hippies with permanent munchies

Snow White: Lived in a house with seven men

Tarzan: A muscular man who paraded around in nothing more than an ill-fitting loin cloth

Batman: Drove around at excessive speeds of over 200mph

Popeye: Covered in tattoos and smoked a dodgy pipe  

Cinderella: Stayed out until after midnight

Aladdin: A thief

Pinnochio: Habitual teller of lies

Captain Pugwash: Was fond of Roger the cabin boy
