That there is serious sexual tension between Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf?

Fairies and elves. After all opposites attract.

Although he's a doctor, teacher, academic, Nanny Plum is much wittier and fun loving for him.

It'd probably never last.

But man, wouldn't it be passionate!!

YANBU at all, they are definately dying to get up to the funny business in the elf factory

JoyceBarnaby · 30/03/2011 21:05

I reckon they already have a history together - all that sniping at each other is obviously hiding something. There is clearly unfinished business there.

Cymar · 30/03/2011 21:06

I just wish they'd stop messing and get on with it Grin. Wouldn't it be great to have a few wee fairy/elf hybrids charging about.

BelleDameSansMerci · 30/03/2011 21:07

YANBU - it's so glaringly obvious. If they're trying to hide it, they're not doing a very good job!

Plumm · 30/03/2011 21:08

Do you think there's a post watershed episode where they get it on? I'd love to see that!

FoofffyShmoofffer · 30/03/2011 21:08

But the wise old elf is an old geezer and Nanny Plum looks positively rampant. She could kill himShock

Olessaty · 30/03/2011 21:09

There's more between her and the pirate dude.

I also agree about the pirate - reckon Nanny Plum likes a bit of rough.

BelleDameSansMerci · 30/03/2011 21:29

Oooh, do you think so? I thought Nanny Plum was just keeping the Elf Pirate (whose name escapes me) in the event that she needed him to do something (like rescue her from some powerful magical force following a toddlers' party).

TattyDevine · 30/03/2011 21:34

You know king and queen marigold? I actually know some people who talk like that Shock

BelleDameSansMerci · 30/03/2011 21:37

Tatty - that's fantastic! How do you keep a straight face?

lollystix · 30/03/2011 21:52

Thank god u said it - I've been thinking the wise old elf secretly wants a piece of nanny plum's pie for ages but have had no one to discuss it with -ds's too young. I think it's not reciprocated - she's secretly impressed by red beard - she protests too much about how bad he is. It's so obvious.

orangekitkat · 30/03/2011 21:53

Between Handy Manny and Kelly too.

SingingSands · 30/03/2011 21:57

I totally agree. He is gagging to have her. I love the Pirate. In tonight's episode he called Nanny Plum "my little fruity pancake" which had me in hysterics Grin

oh, i never thought of the pirate angle! it's true, he might suit nanny plum better.

the wise old elf would be a nice long term companion for her though. They could go the elf library together to play footsie, or go up the room with the great elf clock for a bit of nookie (blush)

orangekitkat - totally agree re handy manny and kelly? WTF is going on there? he does look like the bachelor type though. he's a complete tease!!

tell you what, king thistle looks like he'd be a bit of fun to go on a drinking binge with :) :)

FunnysInTheGarden · 30/03/2011 22:52

no no no he is far too old for nanny plum. He just fancies a bit of young fairy and she is having none of it. She would be much better suited to Ben Elfs dad

doradaisy · 30/03/2011 22:55

but he's happily married??

plus, it would be an inter-racial relationship - elf and fairy??

or rather an inter-racial extra marital affair

lollystix · 30/03/2011 23:17

Wise old elf way too old - I put him about 68-72. She seems about early 30's to me. I get the impression w.o.e not been married before. Seems too sanctimonious-a woman would have knocked that out of him.

doradaisy · 30/03/2011 23:19

would you say nanny plum is early thirties? i'd say more like mid forties.

i get the impression so likes a tipple of an evening in the kitchen of the little castle

lollystix · 30/03/2011 23:22

Oh no Dora- I have the same haircut as nanny plum and I'm mid 30's- maybe I also look mid 40's. I also like a tipple in my castle kitchen!

JessicaDrew · 31/03/2011 07:59

same tension was between Robin and Batgirl in the 1960s Batman series on tv

JoyceBarnaby · 31/03/2011 08:20

Lollystix - I'm fascinated - do you have your hair in a ball on the top of your head?!

Cymar · 31/03/2011 10:38

Ahhh, but Foofffy, at least he'd die with a smile on his face Grin. Besides, he's an elf, so I have a sneaky suspicion he may even be more energetic than Nanny Plum. Could you imagine the headline in the Elf News - NANNY PLUM KNACKERED BY WISE OLD ELF!!!!.
