And who are those people replacing them with thousand-yard stares?

Finding it really hard to cope. Would of been easier if the 2 newbies weren't so naff

I miss measuring the amount of make-up Chris was wearing.

He was such a positive role model

It's probably very hard for them actually.

My 4 yr old has tried to placate me by saying that Chris and Pui are away for Christmas. Now he says that the new people are nice and that I should like them too! But I fancied Chris

thoruoghly agree, if they do HAVE to be in my lounge couldn't they be just a little more interesting.

Presumably Chris and Poi were considered to be too O - L - D as they both looked at least 20.

I was thinking this myself today! They are so wooden - especially the man.
I never thought I would miss chris and pui!! They even do the bedtime song badly...

Poi wasn't old - plus she played a Thai prozzer in Bridget Jones while she was on Cbbebies - if they were going to go all 'miss world' and revoke her title, they would have done it then, not now!

Can't believe that Chris might not be completely heterosexual but then I didn't realise Alistair Appleton was gay. For Chris fans he is presenting a series of London Philamonic Concerts for children at the Royal Festival Hall. We are going, ds has no say in the matter!

Chris did always have a lovely twinkle in his eyes I always thought.....

But - I cannot help thinking - after all the years they have been doing it - the whole thing must have got rather repetitive?

Perhaps- they wanted to go. I mean Pui used to keep me company [via Cbeebies}when ds was a baby - and to be fair he is nearly 7 now.

She practically bought him up.

Reality/fantasy blurred further when she held up the card I made him when he was 3. Itwas hard to know where pretend Pui ended and real Pui began.

But i didn't know about Thai prozzer moonlighting. After all didnt she sleep in one same bedroom with all the other presenters (sure they had a sequence where they would make the bed during bedtime hour circa 2004?)How would she have got out the room past all the cuddly toys etc without waking Sid, Sue and Chris up?

I feel sorry for Chris too. He was Sid's best friend then Sid appeared to sideline him in favour of Andy.

I bet they hang out with Sarah Jane who got the elbow when Mr Tumble went solo - I have visions of this along the lines of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.. all black and white and hating eachother...
