For the first time ever someone has activated the parental controls on the BBC's iPlayer it has been revealed.
Tom Smith, a 16-year-old from Reading said "I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing.
When you watch a programme on iPlayer that is not suitable for under 18s you're asked to confirm that you're over the required age.
With no proof of age being required everyone has always only ever clicked the yes option but the young Mr Smith opted for no.
He said "I wasn't paying attention, someone was talking to me. I didn't realise what I was doing. I read it say "Are you over 18" as I'm not I clicked no and it directed me to Cbebbies instead.
