Minipops was a television series broadcast in 1983 on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom. Designed primarily for younger viewers, it consisted of music performances from preteen children singing then-contemporary pop music hits and older classics. The children were usually made to look like the original performers, including clothing and make-up. Controversy erupted over how appropriate the show's content was for children, as many of the selected songs contained sexual innuendo, and the young performers were made to wear adult costumes and make-up; this controversy led to the show's cancellation after one series.
