Who....

[MyNewKitchen]

..... drives the ninkynonk?!? --I think this is a clear sign that I need to get out more

Is it unreasonable of me to be having such thoughts.. ergo ruining the 'magic' of ITNG?

[Bobbins43]

I always thought it drove itself...

You should hear my theories on Fireman Sam...

[MiddleClassProblem]

I think it's a self drive too which is tricky in that terrain

[HattiesBackpack]

Fairies!

[Supersoaryflappypigeon]

It drove up a tree in the episode I put on for DD this evening-she cried. I think that it defying the laws of gravity was just a bit much for her tbh

[MiddleClassProblem]

Oh it's probably run by southern rail then

[fourballs]

What we also need to discuss is the scale issue. One minute it's normal size, the next minute it's fucking massive so Iggle Piggie et al can get on it.

Ridiculous.

[WhosTakingDeHorseToFrance]

Can't be southern rail MiddleClass it fecking moves on a regular schedule...

[TheBadgersMadeMeDoIt]

DH never realised the Ninky Nonk was a train until I told him. He thought it was some kind of mischievous self-aware gadget that runs around the night garden scaring people.

Something to do with Derek Jacobi's slightly panicked tone when he says "Oh No! It's the Ninky Nonk!" Now I think he may be onto something. It doesn't have a driver because it's possessed by a malevolent spirit...

[MyNewKitchen]

I am so glad it isnt just me! And i agree with the scale issue... macca pakka was on his trike thingy and was triple the size of the train... the he magically fitted through the door. I find it all oddly disturbing. And the fact I am intrigued if it will be the ninky nonk or pinky ponk each episode. Although the pinky ponk is the clear unfavourite by the creators. Dp thought it was iggle piggle.. until i pointed out HE WAS ON THE NINKY NONK! ---- Who drives i must know!!

[MyNewKitchen]

@Bobbins43 oh please tell the fireman sam theory!! Pleaseee

[Changedtocovermyass]

It's Dear Little Railway. We just don't see them elbowing smaller people out of the way to pretend to drive

[Changedtocovermyass]

Norman being (hero complex) Sam's desperate-for-attention-son?

[Bobbins43]

Right... rolls up sleeves

Dilys slept her way through Pontypandy when she was younger. It's a small village, not a lot to do. Thusly, no one knows who Norman's father is. Which is the reason why they put up with all his bullshit - he might be anyone's son. Norman knows this and so plays up and basically gets away with murder. Dilys has set her sights on Trevor Evans as her long term companion and he is running for the hills

Helen is going to bludgeon Mike to death at some stage and run away with Mandy because both of them deserve Better than Pontypandy and that stupid sexist bastard

Charlie and Bronwen's twins get fed up with their hippy useless parents and Sarah becomes an investment banker and James becomes a lawyer. Neither come home for Christmases.

Penny and Elvis get so bored having nothing to do that they have a torrid affair which ends when Penny leaves for a post in New Town, leaving Elvis heartbroken.

Tom Thomas is having a secret relationship with Moose. They're keeping it quiet because they are worried about talk...


:D

[MyNewKitchen]

@Bobbins43 Thats bloody brilliant 😂

[Witchitywoo]

Tom Thomas is having a relationship with a moose???? Wtf? Surely that's illegal. What is children's tv coming to (shakes head in disgust)
