to feel actual disappointment...

[natwebb79]

...when we catch the Pinky Ponk instead of the Ninky Nonk? It actually ruins my evening for 5 minutes!

I like the Pinky Ponk

YABU

Typical! Flame a woman when she's already down!

And my favorite episode is the one where the Pinky Ponk goes up to the top of the tree to find the Olly Bolly Dob Dob Tree.

So there!

To be fair, I am a fan of an enormous ponk! Ok, IABU!

...you need to get out more...!!!

Nooooo natwebb we need to start a fight over this issue

It was Makka Pakka who upset me, i couldn't stand him cleaning dirty rocks with his manky sponge and then doing Upsy Daisy's face with it. I am aware I have issues

My first episode was the one where the Ninky Nonk is driving somewhat insanely around the branches of trees while Sir Derek Jacobi keeps saying 'Oh no, it's the Ninky Nonk'. At the time I wondered if there was something sinister about the Ninky Nonk and perhaps this has stayed with me.

Should I go for counselling?

As for what I think about Upsy Daisy, her place of work? bed and the 'Only Upsy Daisy can sleep in Upsy Daisy's bed'.

Well It's good to have boundaries if that's your line of work...

DM thinks it's just as well I don't plan to write for Children's TV

It all makes much more sense if you've had a glass of wine.

Is this a secondary Friday night drunk in charge of CBeebies thread?

I'm a bit gutted when Makka Pakka isn't in it.

And when they don't have the dance at the end.

my 5 year old, after loving ITNG at 2 &3 announced today 'mummy this doesn't make any sense; why doesn't Igglepiggle wear any clothes and when Upsy Daisy dances she shows everyone her knickers and nobody wants to see your knickers.'. Meanwhile her two year old sister was beaming and copying every movement on screen. Is this the end of innocence?

oh and yabu the pinky ponk is so much calmer

I bloody love makka pakka

I know someone who's written some children's TV stuff, and yes, everything we as adults think when we see it, is designed to be in there . I think they all have competitions with each other to see how can be the filthiest, and still get broadcast.

Ha, I used to get depressed when the episode turned out to be about the tombliboos as I knew it would be 10 boring minutes of them fannying around in their den!!

I love the tombliboos! Hate the stoopid pontipines though.

I like the pontipines, remind me of something from kid's telly in 80s not sure what.

But what's with those big letters at the end. Ha hoos? We always say goodnight to them but are they ever actually seen or mentioned in an episode?

I feel really sorry for poor slave Makka Pakka. None of the others ever plays with him and they only pay him attention when they want a wash.

The proportions give me the RAGE though. One minute the Ninky Nonk is at knee-height, the next it's big enough to ride in? Fuck. Off.

Upsy daisy and Iggle Piggle need to get a room. Is there an ITNG theme park like the Peppa Pig one? A Ninky Nonk ride would be amazing. There could be a bouncy ball area, a Ha-hoo soft play area... Can you tell I've been thinking quite seriously about this??

Horry -

Driving - the Hahoos are there to stop the Ninky Nonk. Please do your research before commenting on such important issues!

YANBU, the Ninky Nonk rocks (literally).

You know for the live show, you have to choose the Ninky Nonk or Pinky Ponk show? I mean, there is no choice. NN every time!

Lolly my 4.6yo DC1 also questioned a bazillion things about ITNG tonight "why does the Pinky Ponk have those flappy things?".

18mo DC2 lives ITNG. It is his world. As it was for DC1 at that age.
