Possibly that fact will lead to a bad trip 
In fact, that is probably where the horror movies came from; some director was tripping on Friday 13th and it wasn't good trip

No sleep because working! When I get into a project I get completely absorbed and lose track of time and get very little sleep.

I would (not seriously) have said this:
Insect: Ant
Mammal: Rat
Sports equipment: Axe (at least if you are a Viking)
And the solution then somehow could be: Anthraxe

How is this within the BBC's remit?
On whose authority is license-payers' money being spent on something that has nothing whatsoever to do with the BBC?
Yes, it's all very nice that kids will be getting tech skills, but the BBC is not a private enterprise, which can spend its profits on things like this; it is a non-profit organisation, paid for from the pockets of people who own televisions, and all the money it receives is meant to go into TV programming, not the other kind.
And is it just me who, given recent confirmation of long-standing suspicions, sees this "inroad to direct contact with small children" as something that I don't want BBC employees to have?

I used to be a big supporter of the BBC a few years back, but they're so biased and (I suspect) heavily influenced by "external interests" that I think their time is up. You certainly can't trust BBC news these days.
Of course, they'll cling onto the license fee pushing the "public broadcaster" line for as long as possible. I'm sure it'll be messy and undignified in the end.

If you have a look at the BBC charter, and the Agreement[^] which effectively says what it can and cannot do, you will see in the section entitled THE BBC’S PUBLIC PURPOSES the following:
7. Promoting education and learning
In developing (and reviewing) the purpose remit for promoting education and learning,
the Trust must, amongst other things, seek to ensure that the BBC—
(a) stimulates interest in, and knowledge of, a full range of subjects and issues through
content that is accessible and can encourage either formal or informal learning; and
(b) provides specialist educational content and accompanying material to facilitate
learning at all levels and for all ages.
As far as I can see, the promotion of programming skills would fall under this.

I remember the good old OU educational programmes on BBC2 and the thousands of documentary and science programmes I've watched that have been produced by the BBC, these were all great.
But that's in the past, the modern "education" (nu-education?) is highly questionably and unbelievably biased. The BBC has (again, in my opinion) been bent all out of shape.
The millions it receives every year from the EU alone (read: foreign nations) should be ringing alarm bells.
Now that's fine if it wants to take foreign money to push a certain agenda, but in that case I shouldn't be legally forced to pay for them as well. The BBC should be forced to choose who it serves and be funded appropriately.

"specialist educational content and accompanying material" does not mean distributing millions of pounds' worth of computer equipment.
- "specialist educational content" means audio/visual content of TV/radio shows, which it hardly provides, any more, compared to what it used to provide.
- "accompanying material" means printed/printable matter to go with the content of the TV/radio shows.
Don't play the shyster, looking for loopholes that they can use to do whatever the **** they like. Their remit is very, very clear, and it does not include setting up computer-hardware or child-grooming empires.

Against shysters? sure. A planeload at the bottom of the ocean isn't a good enough start.
Against the BBC? No. They've proven their worth, over the past few years. I just give credit where it's due.
Plus, they did bad things with their previous foray into the computer-hardware world, and they don't belong there.
If they want to get involved, they should make shows that teach kids what they need to know. That's their job, not glory-hunting at the taxpayers' expense.
