... to think Tig should have chosen the red shoes?

[SweetTeaVodka]

Trapped under napping DD and I left th remote on the other side of them room so forced to watch CBeebies. For those not watching, Tig has a new red dress and has to choose between blue ballet pumps and red Mary Janes. Her mum says that the blue shoes would match the red dress better and Woolly agrees, so Tig chooses the blue ones.

AIBU to think Tig's mum is wrong, and the red shoes are clearly the better choice?

Alternatively, AIBU to secretly enjoy watching CBeebies?

I've seen that episode twice now, I totally agree!

hmm i think it depends on if the reds match. sometimes it better to go for co-ordinating rather than matching.

really need to see a pic though, to comment :P

Yes, I have seen that episode many times and fully agree with you.

I think she should have been able to choose the first dress she liked too.
I think Tigs Mum is a MNer, she wears the MN scarf.

YABU. I preferred the blue shoes.

I also like her yellow coat. Tig is one stylish toddler.

Yanbu! Also trapped under a napping bfing toddler, haha. Tig's mum is definitely an MNer. Sometimes she's on her laptop 'working' - bollocks is she though, she's clearly MNing.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the girl who plays Tig really wanted to choose the blue shoes so they had to rewrite the narrative to fit. Will try to find a link...

she wears multicoloured stripey tights often.

her whole wardrobe is ur

I've seen that episode and I agree, red would have been better.

Ah, it seems as though Betsy (the girl who plays Tig) agreed that the red ones would be better... (scroll down to 'Choosing')

We love Tig in this house DD wanted her to get the red shoes too as she has the same pair

Obviously, this makes us cool

What's "the Mumsnet scarf?"

and what is 'Tig' short for? is it her full name?

ps YANBU

Perhaps Tig's DM thinks that red shoes are BRAZEN!

Can I admit to loving W&T, even when the Dcs are somewhere else?

Monkey, I was going to ask the same thing.

I really don't like Woolly or Tig.

My money's on Teagan.

Betsy? Doesn't it say in the credits? Is Tig a nickname for Elizabeth?

I LOVE Woolly and Tig...my daughter has every episode taped (well - Sky+) and we watch it together before she goes to bed. I bought her a Woolly for Christmas this year...one of her Santa toys. My favourite episode is the Bus one, where Tig is cheeky to the old woman!! :)

The red shoes were definitely better!!

Also, isn't the little girl who plays Angel just beautiful??

Tig could be short for Antigone in which case her mum is definitely an MNer.

Who turns down red MJs? I had a friend who had two pairs - I can still feel the pain of yearning.

Tig is probably not a nickname for anything, it's just the name of the character.

Haha I always say the same when we watch this episode.

The one that makes me laugh is the sleepover episode. When the girls are given their tea, they have 2 fish fingers each..that's it! No potato, no chips, no beans or veg. No wonder Tig can't sleep, she's probably starving hungry
