Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

to find Dirtgirlworld a bit disturbing?

(71 Posts)
It's a new CBeebies programme, which has a really nice 'green' focus, but animation styling that makes me go 'ewwwwwh' shock

Take a look here: www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/dirtgirlworld/ I suppose it's just one of those things that you either think looks great, or that weirds you out. I'm weirded out grin

Find the name slightly worrying and the 5 minutes I sat through was really scarry like hammer house of horror for pre schoolers
Argh, I hate Dirtgirlworld. Grubby the worm (I think it's called Grubby?) annoys me too.

I rather like Nina but can't stand the Numberjacks - sadly, DD loves them which I suppose is a good thing but they drive me mad, especially number 4 (not sure why I'm particularly fixated on him).
DD is now obsessed by Dirtgirlworld - refuses to even watch Gigglebiz now. Fickle child.
It's most odd - she was even hooked on the trailers. I quite like the dancing insects in it though, but the faces creep me out (weird tongue thing going on, especially with Scrapboy)!
Speaking of weird faces, my DS went through a phase ( at 17/18m) of crying when the Piplings of Waybuloo came on. His only discernible comment was "Eye! Eye!" They are all eyes, aren't they? And no noses!

We love Big Barn Farm, Numberjacks and TimmyTime, and DS seems very keen on Nina and the Neurons (maybe he fancies her? he repeats "Nina, Nina" in a very caressing way.). Oddly, he also seems quite taken with I Can Cook. Maybe he fancies Katie, too! What a little Lothario I am raising....

I won't have the Tweenies on, with their horrible, camp voices.
It is dire.

I find it creepy and I really can't work out what age group it is aimed at.

DD hates it, we have to turn the TV off when it comes on...she says Dirtgirl's voice is weird, and the heads are so big they look like they will explode, and that would be good because if they did all explode then it would all be over and we needn't ever see it again.

i think dirtgirl is odd. the dds (7 & 3) love it.

dd2 is a bit scared of the number taker on number jacks but not as scared as i am
Freaks me out but!

I think it's real faces stretched onto animations.

Would be better if it was just animation.

Pants - I just started a thread about numberjacks but see everyone is over here talking about CBeebies programming. So ... (launches in)

DirtGirlWorld: I thought it was supposed to be a rip-off of Tank Girl for small children? DirtGirl's face reminds me of Dannii Minogue before the botox started wearing off.

Gigglebiz got to watch just for the theme song, which is then sung throughout the day to keep us cheerful!

But the best of all has to be Yoko Jakamoko Toto. They are cute even with their googly eyes, their theme song is classic and the stories short and smart. My favourite. It's so good it almost makes up for being followed by Waybuloo.
I think dirtgirl is meant to be Winona Ryder.

Gigglebiz is Little Britain "for children" (oh, dear).
Blimey - just read some of the comment and have to say it only creeps me out in the fact that the animation style is weird. Nothing alse bothers me and the overall message is good.

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
