In the Peppa Pig episode entitled Father’s Day, pater familias Daddy Pig wakes up to find that … guess what? Everyone in his family has totally forgotten the annual day in his honour. (In case you’ve missed it too, yes, Father’s Day is today, at least in the UK.) When he reminds them, his daughter Peppa asks if it’s like Mother’s Day. “Sort of,” replies Mummy Pig. “Although Mother’s Day is a real day. And Father’s Day is a sort of made-up, modern thing.”
After some back and forth, Daddy Pig gets his dream of watching racing cars on TV with a cup of tea while his children make a cake. They combine his favourite ingredients – cereal, tomato ketchup and cheese – and serve it to him as the narrator concludes: “Daddy Pig loves Father’s Day. Everyone loves Father’s Day!”
