to think there must be someone other than Justin to do everything on cbeebies!

I'm a bit tired and watch far too much cbeebies but anyway...

On a morning we have:
Justin on tikkabilla sometimes
Justin does the song on Timmy Time
Justin as a variety if characters on his sketch show on Gigglebiz
Justin does the voice for one of the Tweenies
Justin stars as Mr Tumble repeated twice during the day

Also on the schedule we occasionally have Tumble Tales (I think it's called) and the eponymous Justin's House.

I think the guy is good at what he does but potentially 8 times a day on one channel?

AIBU to refer Justin and cbeebies to the monopolies commission? It's Murdoch and Sky all over again!

Can't stand Justin, he makes my skin crawl and seeing him once is too much. He has one of those faces I'd never get tired of punching.

I agree, but DD loves him and it keeps her quiet for a bit

Due to the hypnotic effect he has on DD I'm seriously considering kidnapping inviting him to live with us just so she'll stop complaining for 1 minute!!

I picture Justin living in a dank cell somewhere under White City, weeping with fatigue as the Cbeebies execs force him back in front of the camera, but never allowing his cheerful mask to slip.

Agree re Justin saturation but I do love Gigglebiz, so does DS although he doesn't seem to find it remotely funny.

I think you need to switch off the TV and go out.

I suspect that he's trying to set himself up as a Big Brother character (think Orwell, not the dumb TV program) to indoctrinate the nation's children. His face will be everywhere, and everyone will Love Big Brother.

Justin Rules

Its him or Katy (We Can Cook...........)

I love Justin!!! He is fantastic! I have a girly childish crush on himGrin. But DS isn't interested in cbeebies Sad

Personally I find him cringeworthy but my 2yo DD loves him so I have to admit that he's a genius, he's just appealing to an age range that I don't fall in to. He also earns my respect for knowing sign language. I figure the whole point of children's TV is to keep the kids distracted to give you a chance to do something else, if I don't watch him he doesn't bother me.
