So Awkward - my guilty pleasure.....

To be clear, I don't usually watch a lot of CBBC...but for some reason I find this one strangely entertaining. I like its slightly surreal take on teenage life I think. Anyone else?

Nope, but I googled it and it looks interesting. Smile

My TV guilty pleasure is Timmy Time, I love it! I'm nearly 30 and don't have kids, but a fondness for wearing lots of black. Grin Still know all the words to the theme tune. Grin

Timmy Time for me as well. First discovered it via Sarah Kennedy on Radio 2, several years before I had DD... obviously I have never told anyone in RL how much I love it!

I love Timmy Time. I've got DVDs. I don't even have children. (Well one on the way but the DVDs predate her by years Grin)

I strangely miss peppa pig, loved all the stupid things daddy pig does

I find myself watching go jetters Blush

CustardOmlet · 26/08/2018 08:03

Sarah and Duck and octonaughs. DH and I have been known to sit and watch them while children aren’t around!

We watch timmy time on netflix with the subtitles on. It just tickles me

My favourite film is Thomas and the Magic Railroad. Blush

GreenPimpernel · 26/08/2018 09:33

I have a slight thing for Sarah and Duck because of Roger Allam’s voiceover.

I really identify with ubernerd Martha :o

My guilty CBBC pleasure is operation ouch. Although maybe guilty in a different sense, because of Dr Chris and Dr Xand... 😳

timshortfforthalia · 26/08/2018 09:46

So Awkward is just fantastic. Martha us just such an ace character. Not much on telly to beat her.

I also have a soft spot for class dismissed.

mildshock · 26/08/2018 09:53

Sarah and Duck, and Hey Duggee. So many jokes for grown ups Grin

Distancehelp · 26/08/2018 09:54

Love So Awkward! One of the actors lives in my village and began watching it to see her. It’s now my guilty pleasure!

BoscosBosca · 26/08/2018 09:58

So Awkward is ace! DD10 and I just about to sit down to watch ep2 of the new series. We were so excited to see new episodes available on iplayer. They've all grown up so much in this series, there's no escaping the fact that Ollie is definitely Rodney Trotter's son!

YesItsMeIDontCare, another 'Thomas and the Magic Railroad' fan here. BlushGrin

Whoever mentioned Class Dismissed.....I agree 100%! Perhaps it's some sort of wistful memory of high school that's attracting me to this type of show. I used to quite enjoy 4 o'clock Club too, before it became a bit samey...

Also, I work in a large high school...

I absolutely loved watching Ben & Holly with DD, used to crack up at nanny plum and wise old elf.
Good times....

Wanttomakemincepies · 26/08/2018 16:50

Horrible Histories for me Grin

Cagliostro · 26/08/2018 18:09

I love nanny plum!

rosebud5678 · 26/08/2018 20:13

Definitely HH - we used to know lots of the songs off by heart. Children don't realise how lucky they are having such high quality programmes just for them. Mind you, I'm from the era of Clangers, Bagpuss etc...how many of today's shows will be considered classics in 40 years?

Me and the kids love So Awkward and think Class Dismissed is hilarious!

Can't beat Andys dinosaur adventures fir a bit of Dino-fact too Wink
