I Sat watching" Ben and Holly's little Kingdom" today for 30mins, Actually don't mind it, seen repeats multiple times (Big age gaps between my Dc!) .
"Peppa pig" was always a big hit here but it annoys me so much now😬

If I was going to do Mastermind, it’d be ‘Specialist subject?’ Me:’Peppa Pig’ Blush

Motown Magic, the music is very enjoyable. And the Moomins because just decent storylines, if slightly weird at times.

AlfieandAnnieRose · 12/09/2020 20:58

Also Ben and holly. And Shaun the sheep series on Netflix, mr bean cartoon and hey duggee.
Blippi is a favourite here and I’ve learned quite a bit from it (and also enjoy looking round at American soft play centres and children’s parks, they’re so much nicer!) but blippi himself is quite annoying!

Interested in this thread?

I have a secret love of Peppa Pig and could watch it for hours! Always try and persuade my 2 year old DS to watch Peppa instead of Teletubbies, Thomas the Tank Engine and In the Night Garden. Find them all dreadfully boring!

Also like Sarah and Duck and What's on Your Plate is enjoyable too!

I do love older kids programmes as well, things like Spongebob, Fairy Odd Parents, Tracey Beaker, etc.

CountFosco · 12/09/2020 21:02

Hey Duggee and Doctor Who (if the tweens and I watch a particularly scary Doctor Who then we watch episodes of Hey Duggee to prevent nightmares Grin). I also love The Dog Ate my Homework although it's not quite so good now Iain Stirling isn't presenting it any more.

DH loves So Awkward and he and DD2 keep making So Awkward jokes to each other then telling me 'oh, it's just an SA joke, you won't understand'. I suspect I'm going to have to binge watch it.

SimonJT · 12/09/2020 21:03

Just add magic, I watched a halloween episode on my own this morning 😂

stoneysongs · 12/09/2020 21:03

Phineas and Ferb - so funny and clever every episode. We'll definitely all be going to see the new film and my DC are 16 and 14 now.

Mustardbay · 12/09/2020 21:06

Duggee is the best by far, no contest.

Anyone who watches Blippi should google what he did with poo before he was blippi Confused

Lollypop4 · 12/09/2020 21:07

Ahh I used to like 64 zoo lane too and " Boo", Tweenies was a bit hit here with my eldest Dc too ( Now 17yrs. Have a 12yr old, 5 & 3 yr old)

Where in the world is great too - dc couldn’t give a shit but I love seeing how other children around the world live and how different/similar their lives can be to ours

MaggieTheFrog · 12/09/2020 21:13

Hey Duggee- love it
Grace's Amazing machines
Octonauts

Findahouse21 · 12/09/2020 21:15

Malory Towers, Operation Ouch and Sofia the First

KetoPenguin · 12/09/2020 21:16

My dd is 16 😂 but we like watching Don't tell the Bride on Netflix.

CharlieSays13 · 12/09/2020 21:19

I love Dr Ranj, mine are getting too big for it now but they humour me and let me watch it occasionally. Also enjoyed watching Mallory Towers with them.

Screamingeels · 12/09/2020 21:20

Loads - octanauts, horrible histories, teen titans, adventure time, all the acardia series (trollhunters etc). But have a special fondness for Ben and Holly, DC are 10 and 13 but will occasionally still watch it for me and DH's benefit.

SecondTimeCharm · 12/09/2020 21:20

I love Hey Duggee and Kiri and Lou for DD2 (20m) but with DD1 I really liked Sarah and Duck, Tumbleleaf (it’s an Amazon Prime show with incredibly beautiful animation) and Nelly and Nora!

SecondTimeCharm · 12/09/2020 21:21

Forgot to add that I agree with everyone else who mentioned Ben & Holly - DH and I often quote it to each other DD1 watched it so many times Grin we have it memorised

LoeliaPonsonby · 12/09/2020 21:23

Ben and Holly. Nanny Plum is ace!

Bluewavescrashing · 12/09/2020 21:23

The Pets Factor
Floor is Lava
Babysitters Club
Junior Bake Off
Disney animal documentaries
Dengineers

DD likes Grand Designs, Bargain Hunt and Escape to the Country, tipping point, who wants to be a millionaire (vintage) and Crystal Maze. I'm happy to watch all of those. Less child centred and nice to watch.

RedLipsAndRosyCheeks · 12/09/2020 21:25

Yes to Tumbleleaf PP, it's beautiful!

Also Hey Duggee, Teen Titans, Horrible Histories, Octonauts and Miraculous.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 12/09/2020 21:25

@b0redb0redb0red yes!! Love Sarah and Duck.

Zip Zap. Er.... That's it. He's 8 now, so constant Minecraft on YouTube Hmm

Standrewsschool · 12/09/2020 21:25

Have older dc

Deadly Sixty, especially when Steve B got his kit off...Grin
Ballamory
Come outside

Mallory Towers - watched this at the beginning of lockdown (without children) whilst recovering from Covid - loved it

Now got ‘64 zoo lane’theme tune in my mind! Altogether now ‘ 64, 64, 64 zoo lane‘

damnitdamnit · 12/09/2020 21:28

Masha and the bear was always quite entertaining Grin

UniKittie · 12/09/2020 21:30

The Next Step and The Babysitters Club with DD and The Loud House and Teen Titans Go with DS.

Globalpandemicmum · 12/09/2020 21:31

Definitely Ben & Holly, I was so happy when DD moved on from Peppa Pig.

Strangely, Miss Rabbit’s voice makes my skin crawl but I love Nanny Plum and they’re voiced by the same person.
