One Born Every Minute

[NanaNina]

Love the programme but can't stand that midwife saying at the beginning "Ooh I'll ave one of those teacakes I like those teacakes! Probably just me!

Huh?

Not seen it but why?

Is it the way she says it?
The fact she's eating teacakes?
The fact she's eating fullstop?

She's my favourite.

She likes Bakewell tarts too, I think .

It would be far more irritating if she was saying 'ooohh, not for me, they're so naughty ..'

I always watch it on catch up and skip the beginning.. it's far too long and boring!

TBH - They seem to do an huge amount of cake eating, to the point it looks like women in labour are just an annoying distraction from the main business of chomping custards tarts.

But I expect that's just the editing

When my best friend was in labour, all the midwives did was talk about who was on duty over Christmas (she was in labour on 22nd Dec). Now that was annoying - surprised my friend didn't deck someone. I know labour is everyday for them, but it wasn't for my friend.

Was glad she didn't deck the doctor moaning about house prices though - he was my neighbour and our kids were in the same class at school!

I don't think it would be nearly so annoying if they didn't show the same clip every week or if they ever showed that midwife doing a bit of work!

I think the producers have just edited it like this to get us riled up. Seems to be working! :)

No it does my nut as well. It's really annoying.

They show that clip every week as it is the opening credits. I can't think of any programmes where the credits change week by week.

I'm sick of them all dropping the 'The' from 'The baby's _ "

Yes we could do with a change of opening credits. The midwife who drinks comically from the enormous cup annoys me.

"The midwife who drinks comically from the enormous cup annoys me."

And me.

Don't know what it is about her. Could be that she reminds me a bit of me.

Oh, but I need my weekly 'Don't panic, never panic'.

It gets on my tits the way that woman says "Don't panic, never panic!" at the beginning of the show each week.

Apart from that, I find it fascinating. A great series.

They do panic if the cake and tea runs out though.

Its got better but in the first series they edited it to make the receptionist look like a massive idiot. That irritated me.

Hmm, I find the "don't panic" woman annoying and the bit with the comedy cup annoying too but the teacake midwife is still my favourite.

When the opening credits start I keep waiting for a bomb to drop - that banshee woman in labour sounds like an air raid siren.

When I took DD to baby clinic this week, the HVs were all standing round eating cake and drinking tea talking about OBEM and how the midwives on the programme seem to spend a lot of time standing around drinking tea and they never get the chance to do that.

Irony. I had to conceal a smile.

YANBU, teacake woman annoys me too. I quite like the one with the big mug though!

I love big cup lady, but surely her brew would be cold by the end.

I want the big mug for when I give birth next month.

I've GOT the big mug - DH bought it for me years ago! [smug, smug, smug!]

But I want the big mug!
So I like big mug lady.
Not keen on "Don't panic, never panic" - she sounds shirty at first and then tries to correct herself so she sounds nicer, I think.
Think teacake lady is harmless .

It annoys me full stop. I don't know any midwife that actually watches it and I've never even seen them have time to sit down never mind eat cake.
