To be excited that the Wattingers have made a rare appearance on ITNG?

[GenerationGap]

Big fan

I think they're anti-social meself.

Have they? Its recording here...
I was only saying the other day (to my mum) that I havent seen them for aaages

hahahaaa! YANBU! The first time I clapped eyes on the blue family from next door, I nearly wet myself with excitement.
I'd have been less impressed upon sighting a unicorn!

linky please - mine are too old for itng (i'm not though)

They're definitely up to something in there. They don't even so much as peek out the window when their neighbours are dancing in the front garden.

Oooh, I thought the other ones (their neighbours) had eaten them!

When he was of an age to watch it he used to call the red ones the Cardinals and the blue ones the Jesuits

I think they are a strange bunch:)

Pontipines?

YANBU what a treat!

DS is growing out of it now but I still enjoy more than Strictly

I have never seen them. Only dancing around the gazebo.

I want to see them so badly.

Ooh, how exciting! The first couple of times we saw them, we didn't realise they had their own name, so became known (to DH and I, anyway) as The Elusive Blue Pontipines .

DD calls them the Blue Pontipines as well.

Does anyone else feel the Pontipines are being portrayed as quite an anti-social family? Once again we see the children carry around a heavy table while the parents do nothing, the food was all sugar and no fruit/veg and really, where were their manners with regards to waiting with the food until all guests had arrived?

yanbu.

I get excited when the Haa-Hoo's do something. Like bounce slowly through the forest .

YANBU even ds was excited to see them make an appearance tonight. He came running into the kitchen very excitedly shouting "blues ones mummy! Blues ones!"

I guess the true test is that he tries to say all the other character names that regularly appear but the poor old wottingers are reduced to being known as only the "blues ones"

I think this is the episode!

They don't mix much, though. Snobbish so-and-sos. Do you all remember when they refused to answer the door to Mr Pontipine?!

P.S. I loved the Cardinals/Jesuits identification! Just the sort of poncy thing a MNer's child should say! Have you been on the Competitive Parenting thread yet, Mandy?

DH is a keen Wottinger-spotter and actually called me through to see them tonight. He then ranted at some length about how dreadful it was that the Pontipines had phoned them up rather than popped round next door to speak to them in person, or something. The kind of thing the phrase "Right, dear" was invented for.

YANBU. The TCOBs are totally thrilled. And when it was followed by that funky dance routine - we went WILD. All apart from the baby, that is.

Ciske - I thought I spotted a tomato and mozzarella salad in there?

How can they have a funky dance routine if they have't got any limbs? They are fused peg-people! Or are the Wottingers actually multi-jointed puppets, and that is why they consider themselves so superior to the Pontipines?

YANBU!! I love them so much!! I want Derek Jacobi's to narrate my life!!

We are relatively new fans with a 9 mo, but they were out yesterday as well, how exciting!
