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?

Oh god DirtGirlWorld, I think I had blanked that one from memory, she is the stuff of nightmares with her huge freaky eyes and mouth and awful bleating voice .

I hate Tree Fu Tom too, it's just so fucking dull and sorry but the David Tennant voiced character is the most annoying thing in it, if only I knew where treetopolis was I would call in the vermin exterminators for all those stupid twatty insects.

It scares me how much I want to smack Tree Fu Tom, especially when he does his magic bit and we're supposed to think 'ooh all the kids get involved'. Bah.

You know what I do to insects Tom? I SQUISH them bwahahahaha.

Now someone please tell me what the hell is Abney and Teal about?

OnwardBound · 17/10/2012 09:55

Max and Ruby is uber annoying.

Prissy goody two shoes older sister. Little boy is mischievious and free spirited, older sister is mindful of the correct way to do things and tries to be responsible and helpful but is actually just an irritating bossy know it all.

It seems like a morality tale from the 1950s where girls are made into little mothers but are resented for it and boys are seen as fun loving and adventurous but also irresponsible.

Hate it.

TheLazyGirl · 17/10/2012 10:00

Katiepoes Abney and Teal reminds me of my teen hippy pot smoking days. Its all mellow and nice, like being enveloped in bong fumes.

I like the little Pop Pops or whatever they are called.

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 17/10/2012 10:20

Just explain this - why is does Granny Murray look younger than me? I am 43 and have a 5 year old child how come she is an effing granny and has no children or grandchildren that I have ever seen? Angry

goodiegoodieyumyum · 17/10/2012 10:28

I like the Knight but hate baby Jake find myself watching the Octonauts even when my dd is not at home great show. Granny Murray seems to have two outfits and poor little Lisa wears the same clothes all the time, where do the children go when they are not at granny Murrays they are not often with their parents

strawberrypenguin · 17/10/2012 10:33

Oh yes baby Jake gives me the creeps its horrible, I don't mind Mime the knight tho. But bloody Thomas should have been sacked by the fat controller ages ago. He never listens, is full of himself and never gets things right the first time and has to go back and do it properly!

BloodRedAlienReflux · 17/10/2012 10:44

Yes, I too hate baby Jake, and I'm with you enjoyvampire Nanny Plum is cool Grin

gallifrey · 17/10/2012 11:07

baby Jake gives me the creeps, have you seen this?www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9045372.htm

Why does it have a grown up face? It's just wrong!

gallifrey · 17/10/2012 11:08

Agree that the little girl on ?Woolly and Tig? is a brat. However, that spider talks a lot of sense. I work in HR. Could do with having a Woolly in my draw to deal with the daily twattery from the some of the so called adults in our company...

Twat: ?my colleague looked at me in a odd way in the corridor?
Woolly ?well, twatty, do you have any other reason to believe this colleague was acting in an unreasonable manner towards you??
Twat: ?er... not really. She just looked at me funny?
Woolly: ?maybe she was looking at something else? Maybe she just wants to be your friend but doesn?t know how? Maybe you are an oversensitive twat??

Job done.

Thanks Woolly.

My DH repeats the same lesson to my DS every Saturday morning: 'DS, make sure you NEVER go to Justin's House'

EverybodysSpookyEyed · 17/10/2012 12:56

The thing that weirds me out about woolly and tig is that the actress who plays tig is the daughter of the actor who plays her dad. Her sister does the VoiceOver. And her aunt (so the actor who plays the dads sister) plays the mum!

rainbow2000 · 17/10/2012 13:04

Are teh Bops the one with old fellas one looks like Mike Myers if he was fatter and older.If it is i cant stand that.

I often think there has to be something wrong with grown men and women acting the eejit.
But my one that i hate with a passion is hi-5 think steps only worse(it thats possible.)

gallifrey · 17/10/2012 13:24

I quite like Woolly and Tig!
We laughed at the way she really shouted "he's only a toy spider" at an old woman the other day like she was really angry!

AmazingBouncingFerret · 17/10/2012 13:35

DD is into Raggy doll's atm.

First time I heard the theme tune again almost had me sobbing.

It's not much of a life when you're just a pretty face.
Just to be whoever you are is no disgrace.
Don't be scared if you don't fit in.
Look who's in the reject bin.

It's just so god damn fucking poignant You just don't get that nowadays...

If you're not at ease with your knobbly knees and your fingers are all thumbs,
Stand on your two left feet and join our raggy doll chums!

TheLazyGirl · 17/10/2012 14:28

OMG, Raggy Dolls! Where, where is that on? I'd gladly pay for Sky to watch that again.

I inflict show my kids Bagpuss, Button Moon and Dangermouse on Youtube, the only one I'd like to find and can't on there is Trapdoor. I also loved Pigeon Street as a kid. That and Fraggle Rock.

OscarPistoriusGirlfriend · 17/10/2012 14:43

I love Charlie and Lola.

Anything with Justin the freaky weirdo in though is a big fat (pun intended) no! He's weird. DH reckons he's got compromising picture if the director general which is how he has cbeebies as pretty much Justin tv!

Me too - so much so wrong! Raymond is the girls father?! Ey fuckin' right! And, and why do they all walk through four or five cities to get to work?!

JustinBoobie · 17/10/2012 14:49

Noddy pisses me off.

steben · 17/10/2012 16:56

Glad someone bought up the bag if crap that is rhyme rocket what a god awful show!!!! Mister maker is beyond weird but I can live with it but agree he has little affinity with children and I certainly wouldn't want him left alone with mine. As much as I love Peppa and it has saved me on more than one occasion I NEED answers to the following questions - why ate George and Chloe pig the only characters that don't have names that start with same letter (Richard rabbit etc...) and why is Rebecca rabbit only character that lives in a warren - Peppa doesn't live in a sty FFs!

RawShark · 17/10/2012 16:59

We've been to button moon, we've followed Mr Spoon.....was this any good? Think of it fondly, but can;t really remember.......

JustinBoobie - that's dear old auntie Enid for you . Did you see the drama doc thing a year or so ago, she looked pretty awful TBH even allowing for dramatic license
