to think that Aunt Mabel should look after pippin a bit better?

[IcantSleep]

Practically every episode she loses that poor dog

and all pippin eats is sausages [grins]

and all pippin eats is sausages

Pinnin's dead so there's only so much she can do for her really

Is that still on? I once got a point in a quiz for knowing what the identifying letter on planes in the UK was thanks to Auntie Mabel and her spotty plane. And they say telly's a waste of time...

That's why she works in a department store and meets Dr Who now.

She's bloody ungrateful really, considering pippin rescued her that time she got locked in the larder when she'd got chips deep frying on the hob. Totally agree with you OP.

That OP made me laugh so much - haven't watched this for yrs but I remember being quite traumatized at that chippan fire one - what was she thinking?? (Also, they're obviously repeating the episodes 10 yrs later as my DS1 is now 13!)

Very true spammertime

Haha I nearly started this thread yesterday! Someone call the RSPCA!

Wow i didn't realise it was that old!

My 20yr old used to watch it when he was about 3yrs old.

Our favourite was the 'Poo' episode

My poor ds was backing away from the telly with worry yesterday. It's way too traumatic for kids.

It's older than that - I used to watch Come Outside with my 21yo Dbro when he was about 3yo!

While it was good the first time, I am now watching them for the 5th time, so am a little fed up with Aunty Mabel!

(Dbro, DD, DS1, DS2, and now DS3. I have seen every episode at least 5 times, and some I have seen 10+ times and know word for word!!)

X-post, Worra!

Disco, she's useless isn't she?!
Ahhh yes the pooh episode, makes lovely lunchtime viewing that one ha ha "pippin, can you see your pooh?"

I also loved the episode where Pudsey the Children in Need mascot went mental with a chain saw and cut her head off for stealing his spotty airplane.

Pippin was a true hero in that one, especially when he went into the woods to fetch her head back.

I think Aunty Mabel is doing a mighty fine job. I know how wellies are made thanks to her losing that dog.

Annoys me a bit less now than when it was on eco friday or whatever they called it, failed to see how a granny flying in her own plane to Spain to get a jar of marmalade could in anyone's book be considered green and that coming from someone who doesn't compost leftovers

Went to Balamory at half term and some of those houses look quite different, filming ended there before dd1 was born!

worra

My favourite is the episode where they show you how toothpaste gets its stripes!

Yes I loved the toothpaste one too!

And 'How crisps are made'

I think yes, the RSPCA should be called, but also SS should be told about how neglectful Doras parents are. Poor girl can't be any more than 4 and she is constanlty looking after the twins and left to roam around the world with notjing more than a pet monkey for company.

I want to know where she lands her plane. Does every shop, factory and library have a runway and plane park?

DD is a teenager but I can still remember loads of those bloody songs.

Every. Single. Lyric.

I was watching the water episode the other day and shouting at the Telly! She was busy wasting the water, flushing the loo just to demonstrate how it works when all along poor pippin needed a drink
