yanbu. Talented man. Bit self-indulgent at times- I could do without Justin's House. But he has genuine warmth and engagement with children and everyone in our entire family will watch Something Special, not just my toddler. Even my ultra cynical partner thinks he's a genius.

Kayano · 25/07/2012 20:23

keyno

! That's a new one cries

pigletmania · 25/07/2012 20:28

I think he's bloody marvelous. My DB has down syndrome (and is practically non verbal) and even when he was in his mid teens he would watch Something Special to practice his signs. My mum's foster sprogs would sometimes watch along with him so they could communicate with DB.

My 2 yr old LOVES him - and we're going to see him this weekend at Camp Bestival - can't decide whether he'll be beside himself with excitement or totally blase about it because he sees him on telly most days...

sausageandpickle · 25/07/2012 21:32

I'm just starting to learn signing for my new job and watch Something Special to practice - sometimes with the sound off to see if I can understand the signs in their own! My 1 yr old loves it and the teenagers will sometimes watch too!

Nobhead · 25/07/2012 21:40

If you "like" Justin in a different way you should check out the Telly Totty Fess up thread...it's a little..er..alternative not for the faint hearted or easily offended Wink

BlackOutTheSun · 25/07/2012 22:28

''What do you mean isn't old enough to watch tv??''

That she is only 16months and won't sit down and watch would rather be climbing the stairs

CrocSaysTickTock · 25/07/2012 22:33

I love him, I owe him a massive debt of gratitude. The 20 minutes or so each day that entertains my DC whilst I can have a shower and get dressed is amazing.

I [heart] Justin!

lotsofcheese · 25/07/2012 22:42

I agree, he's fab! Think he got a BAFTA last year? ( might be wrong about that!)
