Just to lighten up recent threads.....Mike the Knight has always annoyed me; but the more I watch it the MORE it annoys me (to be clear I am not watching it on my own, or I'd turn it off)

MtK never learns from his mistakes or follows his own slogan. The vikings are just stupid foreigners and the villagers are lumpen idiots and need to be continually bossed about led by a smug incompetent pre-teen knight - in -training, who insists on continually making them applaud his latest self-aggrandising endeavour. I would be trying to make a political point here, if it weren't time for bed and thus I am too knackered to think!

And the other day they were having a sleep over and the queen was still in her gown and crown - production couldn't even be arsed to design some regal jammies.

And the theme tune is sooooo catchy. Arrgh. There are programs that I dislike but my hatred for this one just seems to grow and grow. I know IABU to bother hating a program, but does it irk anybody else?

I like Rhyme Rocket Blush First Officer Ditty is quite nice :)

Cbeebies used to be on far too much in this house, obviously.

Oh god, I hate mike the knight too. And the casual sexism- one day they had princess evie off picking flowers with the queen while mike was going about his knightly duties. and what is with the rastafarian dragon? Jar jar binks anyone??

Thank god someone else mentioned Rhyme Rocket! It makes me want to put a brick through the TV. Why do the two 'men' need to pull such exaggerated faces all the time?!

I can't belive no one has mention Mr Maker yet...I have never seen anyone on children's TV with less affinity towards children...

And my claim to fame is that my SIL's husband's sister wrote the theme song to GiMP :)

Come outside is the worst for me. Constantly bollocking that poor dog when she is only trying to fix her own fuck ups! I reckon she did away with uncle mable and stuffed his body in her septic tank. malevolent witch. Ahhh, feel better now, nothing like a spot of cbeebies rage!

Yes beans- Mr maker, what a fool! "take a sheet of A1 paper and cut a circle out of the centre about the size of 2p. take the circle piece of card and throw the rest away."sooooo wasteful! And i always want to scream when he goes to the shop EVERY episode to get googly eyes "BUY A WHOLE BAG IDIOT"

bedmonster I have googled the Bopps and watched 5 secs before turning it off. It's certainly annoying and quite probably shite but is it as questionable as MtFK in its gender, racial and social stereptyping (can't face watching any more to find out)?

DS loves rhyme rocket - I hate it! Encourging him towards cbbc now

DD loves wu-yee an tig and seems to know the episodes as she asks for specific ones

Grandpa is a horrible bully to poor Great Aunt Loretta. We watch it on the basis that unkind behaviour is banned in our house!!

As for Justins House - I have to leave the room

Ah, Everything's Rosie... Where the fuck are the parents?Hmm Where the fuck do they get their day-to-day needs sorted out (milk, bread, toilet paper)? Where the fuck do they get their drugs from? Talking trees? That rabbit wants reining in. And as for Will... well, we call him Trust Fund Will in our house!

Rosie...? What are you up to girl?

Mike drives me mad, can't stand grandpa in my pocket Jasons face irritates me.

Wooly and tig aswell, she's a spoilt brat we get it.

My story, show of the posh family show.

Big cook little cook, how many times can we splat a white liquid on little cooks face...

Zingzillas, even the dcs hate it.

I can cook, katie is rather condescending with the children.

I'll stop here. We don't much like cbeebies.

Can I add that I think 'Fireman Sam' should have been sacked from his job long ago. And that 'Naughty' Norman Price (and Mike Flood) should have been arrested for arson. Fireman Sam has completely failed in his duty to educate the townsfolk on ordinary fire risks as there is a daily fire in a village which consists of about 12 houses. And as Norman and Mike have caused approximately 23 fires each I am becoming highly suspicious of these 'accidents'....

I'd forgotten Me Too. What was puzzling me was the way Granny Murray seemed to have different children in the middle section to the one she was supposed to be minding (criminal negligence?)in a couple of episodes. And the way she said things were fun which clearly weren't. Having fun all day is not possible. That doctor needs a reality check - the one where she had to make evryone happy really rankled.

I like Zingzillas though!
