On a purely shallow level, I really love the house and its decor! We've been planning to do our bedroom in a seaside theme for ages so am getting tips from this!

We're actually watching this just now as she gets ready for bed (thank god for the watch again stuff on Virgin...). DD1 is obsessed with it (she's just turned 2). She loves everything about it and talks about it all the time, we have to high five and say "teamwork" all day long. I like it too - there's quite a lot there that must go way over her head but she's quite happy and a real life, non-animation series is quite a welcome change.

yes love it! We don't have our tv connected to an aerial but DD1 discovered it on iplayer and they can't get enough of it Thankfully I enjoy it too.

I'm thinking of taking her to the library to look for some Mrs Pepperpot books as I think she'll enjoy them if she likes this

Southwold and AldeburghI live very close to southwold. they have the best fish and chips there! it's about £50k just to buy a beach hut though.
they filmed little britain there as well a few years ago, and quite a few other things. we go celeb spotting there[blush[

I love it when Grandad scampers off and says "Catch me if you can!"

Did you spot that Mister Maker was the bike shop customer Mr Likeabike or whatever he was called, and Lorna from Tikkabilla was on ther other day with a wig on. Also going to be Meera Syall and Rula Lenska (spelling?? I know). We love it and my dad (Grandad) put on his shrinking hat and had my 5 year old in fits!

What a wonderful programme. We all love it here
So much better than some of the rubbish they put on and don't get me started on the new presenters

Flutterbye - Yes we spotted Mr Maker too. And we were trying to think for days where we had seen the coffee shop owner before we realised it was Lorna from Tikkabilla! Rula Lenska was in the episode the other day where she was Princess someone or other. Not seen Meera Syall yet.

All the posts on here seem to be very positive anyway so that's good. We definitely love it here, my daughter wants it on all the time actually! We've had it on iplayer loads of times now.

sorry to hijack - hello lottiejenkins there doesnt seem to be many mn'ers round here, your the closest i have found then! Im near lowestoft. there are quite a few celebs here for some reason, i think its the peace and quite and many people dont seem to come this part of the woods, they tend to go to yarmouth not my fave place! we go to the red lion a lot in southwold, reallt good for the children and lovely meals that aren't expensive either.

DS1 loves it. Although he nearly passed out at FIL's at the w/e when FIL put on a similiar cap..

It has completely freaked my DD out and we have to turn it off immediately it comes on (she's normally completely bomb-proof). Mind you, the idea of miniature in-laws running about the place unseen makes me feel a bit anxious too...

DS (aged 2) loves it but it's a bit too twee with too much forced laughter not to set my teeth on edge. If I'd have had a sister like her I think that she'd have met with a nasty accident or two by now .

But I'm willing to accept that I'm in the minority .
