Abney and Teal

[cheekypickle]

Surreal rubbish! I don't get it!

[RuleBritannia]

What or who are you talking about?

[StealthPolarBear]

yes, I can't say I've taken to it

[StealthPolarBear]

there are some programmed on CBeebies (not sure that this is one of them, as have only caught small glimpses of it really) that seem to be trying too hard to be old fashioned and appeal to the parents who watched kids' TV in the 70s and 80s

[cheekypickle]

I agree stealthpolarbear

The 'pot pots' are like the clangers

[TeWiDoesTheHulaInHawaii]

My 3yo loves it (is sat watching it on iPlayer now!)

I think it's good that they're trying to do a mix of show styles.

[Dolallytats]

We love Abney and Teal in this house!! Wasn't sure when it first started, but it grew on us and is now a firm favourite.....now if only they would stop showing In The Night Garden, that really is awful!!

[cheekypickle]

In the night garden is terrible!

[UnChartered]

YABVU

an excuse to make farty noises? winner everytime

[VolAuVent]

I don't like it either. It's too try-hard and not particularly warm or engaging.

[Petsinmypudenda]

I dont like it but my toddler loves the little turnip thing

[Happenstance]

i love it, so do the DD's, better than the flaming Rhyme Rocket anyway, god i hate that programme.

[NadiaPopov]

I like it.

[Mrsjay]

ah i Have no under 5s i thought you had gone loopy and just saying random words

[Pascha]

I hate it too but the Boy thinks its great.

[TheLaminator]

We like A&T here. they remind me of friends of mine :) The Neep thing is a PITA though, eating all the porridge, tut.

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

I like the poc-pocs. They look like punctuation.

The episode where the find an old radio is the best one. Has DS in giggling fits for the whole episode

You're all miseries :)

[newtonupontheheath]

We like it..,. DS likes "neeeeeeeeep"

[GhouliaYelps]

Is wonderful!

[Kveta]

don't like it here either. and caught a few minutes of the Rhyme Rocket the other day - frighteningly awful.

not impressed with cbeebies at the moment, DS much prefers milkshake thankfully!

[Magneto]

Ds is in love with the poc pocs. He thinks they're mice and squeaks his little head off throughout the show.

There isn't really much I don't like on cbeebies with the exception of Kerwhizz, Rhyme Rocket and Charlie and Lola.

I bet a 20 something media graduate has made it, grew up in the '90s and thinks that the '70s style is cool. Trying too hard as IMHO abney and teal (pretentious name) is rubbish.
I think that the reason why some '70s children's programmes are still good in a way is because they were completely innovative at the time - nothing like that had been done before.

[BBisHavingAnotherBBaby]

Its by the same person who did Teletubbies and ITNG. I quite like it!

[BBisHavingAnotherBBaby]

Also yes to Radio episode in our house, DS goes adorably loopy over it! Closely followed by the handbag episode

[ZebraLeg]

It confuses me that the Teal isn't actually the blue one
