To be shocked about the Wise Old Elf? *spoiler alert*

So in one of the new episodes of Ben and Holly it transpires that... The Wise Old Elf is a father! Shock

His 3 (3!) sons are: Captain Squid, Red beard the Pirate, and Barnaby's Dad.

Anyone else in shock about this?

There was no mention of who the mother/s were...

I thought he was a confirmed bachelor

I thought the Wise Old Elf and Nanny Plum were secretly in love. I really want them to get together. Doesn't Red Beard kiss and flirt with Nanny Plum in a couple of episodes?

lizzzyyliveson · 19/11/2013 21:28

Doesn't that make him a Grandfather? And one is on the wrong side of the law. Hmm

Oh I thought there was a love/hate relationship between nanny plum and wise old elf. I definitely remember red beard having a thing for nanny plum. I can see the attraction nanny plum is a fine women/fairy! Grin

Wtf are you talking about?

Shock

All we need now is for King Thistle to host a Jeremy Kyle type show to find out who the mother/s is/are!

And Mr.Gnome is a king too. King Leopold

DP says he isn't that wise to have 3 kids scattered about.

I think the DCs may have got to him a bit today!

I love nanny plum. She's my hero.

TheCharWoman · 19/11/2013 21:57

A Jeremy Kyle style interrogation is definitely needed, you're right.

Nanny Plum has definitely been flirted with/harassed by the pirates. But you think she's got something going on with the Wise Old Elf too??

I'm so grateful for some replies - I thought I was the only one who cared! DS (21 months) didn't bat an eyelid at the shocking revelations Grin

I think he was wild in his hayday - I want to know what happened with the monkey gibbons as that is the event that caused him to hate magic - king thistle's mum was involved too - he was pretty in to magic before that!

maddening · 19/11/2013 22:02

and I think the plum romantic link is Mr elf - and that (imo) is the reason that Mrs elf is on edge quite a bit

Gruntled · 19/11/2013 22:03

Didn't he also have 'history' with Queen Thistle's mum?

InkleWinkle · 19/11/2013 22:15

He's def got 3 sons. It was on the Father's Day episode.

Sleepyhead33 · 19/11/2013 23:09

I love the spoiler alert! :)
I am shocked though, I thought I had seen them all-on repeat and I haven't seen that one.

what's the title? I will have to look out for it, sounds like a season finale!

MeanAndMeaslyMiddleAges · 19/11/2013 23:34

Nanny Plum and Wise Old Elf were at it like badgers, I reckon. She moved on, he hasn't, and he's still bitter.

I think Nanny Plum is the source of many an elf and fairy's secret longing. YY there is definitely tension between her and Mr Elf, and Mrs Elf IS always on edge. Plus King Thistle treats her like a second wifey and is a bit too reliant on her, and Queen Thistle can be quite rude to her.

Can someone please get me out of the house, please.
