In my perceptions of the Pontypines and Wattingers?

[mrscog]

So I was watching ITNG with DS this evening and I decided the following.

The Pontipines are the lovely neighbours who look after pets while you're on holiday, have a cheery chat over the fence, grow their own vegetables.

The Wattingers are the slightly racist Daily Mail BNP types (think Dursleys in Harry Potter) and they'd always say 'hello' but really be judging you left right and centre and think we should bring back the cane etc.

AIBU?

Also, the kids - which ones are girls and which are boys - the ones with the dildo hats or the ant hats?

And why, WHY don't they have pyjamas? It irritates me that they go to bed (all in the same room, how the managed to have 8 kids...) in their day clothes. That's nasty and sweaty.

Also, how frightening would it be to feel movement by your toes at night, look oh-so-slowly under the bed covers and cold sweat trickles down your back and find this

Where are their goats? That's what I want to know.

Also, could they influence today's toddlers to have huge families when they grow up? Is that the intention, as Britain's birthrate falls?

ALSO, Mister Maker, WTAF? He's been to Rio and Capetown in the same show? WHY?

License fee, mumble, mumble...

Can I be a children's presenter please?

Iggle Piggle was trying to get in Upsy Daisy's bed. Surely that's a whole different show?

Only Upsy Daisy is allowed to sleep in Upsy Daisy's bed, as eny fule kno.

You wouldn't be politically biased due to their colours, would you OP?

KissesBreakingWave what about the tittifers? Pointless, or single figures at least I reckon.

Sorry, it was stinkingbishop that I should have tagged just then.

Is it because if the bedroom tax they only have one room?

stinking i was about that too. AND Nina and the Neurons not ONLY going to the Grand Canyon in the past week or so but also the Isle of Wight!!!

I actually always feel a bit uneasy about the Wottingers. I always wonder why there is a closed door, and why they are hardly ever seen. I feel like they might need some SS support somewhere.

And don't get me started about Postman Pat and his helicopter and the Royal Mail.

[time I went back to work]

I have never seen an episode with the blue ones. Must watch more itng.

I spend entire days speaking like mummy pontypine. She is my idol.

They were on today!

Oh no I love the Wattingers! The Pontipines are on all the time, but the Wattingers are more of a novelty.

My DH thinks the Pontypines keep the Wattingers locked in some kind of sex dungeon.
Why does Mrs P always carry binoculars??

The Pontipines are struggling with their lax parenting techniques brought on by clinical optimism and have been enrolled on parenting classes by social services. Each outing is a test of what safety practices they can adhere to. Too many fails and its another row of parenting classes.

The Wattingers are convinced the Pontipines are claiming something they are not entitled to as they are constantly off on outings and never seem to have a care in the world. They ring the benefits hotline twice a week and follow then obsessively to try to catch them out.

The Pontipines are on a Witness Protection Programme. Hence Mr Pontipine's moustache constantly coming off, it is a rather poor attempt at a disguise.

The Wattingers are actually WPP agents who are employed to protect the Pontipines. That's why they are always watching them.

The Pontipines do not want to draw attention to the protective surveillance they are under but feel it is polite to wave at their guards from time to time.

Do they go to Center Parcs?

Has any one noticed that iggle piggle and david Cameron look so alike.

Why do the pontipines have no legs tis odd very odd.

I think the best Pointless score would be those giant, sinister inflatable things - Hahoos? Haboos? They frighten me, anyway.

God, I'm so relieved other people speculate about the political and sexual leanings of CeeBeebies characters. My toddler has just got into ITNG - but he gets annoyed if it begins with the Pinkyponk rather than the Ninkynonk - and I keep having to remind myself I have a doctorate. I agree about the witness protection scheme Pontypines.

Yes, Iggle Piggle is David Cameron.

MrsBucket once you see, you cannot un-see.

ThE wattingers are obviously out at work or school whereas the ponitipines are home schooled with parents who don't need to work. That's why we rarely see the wattingers. My mother has other very un -pc views about the pontipines!

I may possibly be competing with allbie 's mother, here, but actually I just want to post leaflets on contraception through both front doors!!
