To think Mr Maker ain't got nothing on Neil Buchanan?

The stuff he makes is absolute rubbish. I was a child when I used to watch Art Attack though, so it's entirely possible that I have my rose tinted glasses on regarding that.

The new art attack bloke is just TERRIBLE.
There's something about the way he speaks - the intonation I think - which is just totally totally not right and makes my ears try and crawl off my head and my face actually look like this Confused
He makes every single fuckingsentence sound like a really patronising question...
No idea how he does it tbh....
Actually turn off the actual telly now when it comes on.

cross-out-fail Hmm

BertieBowtiesAreCool · 06/12/2013 18:50

I haven't seen it, but TBH, everything on the Disney channel makes me want to claw my own face off.

Tony Hart was the best - and Morph was a legend!

ArtisanLentilWeaver · 06/12/2013 19:46

Morph was that needless and irritating sidekick, sort of a bluTack Scrappy Doo. Tony Hart was a genius and calm.

Yes Dilliguf, all the CBBC presenters speak...like....that now. Alex is the worst for doing it
Gaz Top never bloody spoke to us like...that.

I used to live the one with the Welshman who used to make things in the attic with three hand puppets - can't remember what it was called but it was fab. Especially since when they showed the children actually making it they clearly had done it themselves and you got a fair idea of what to expect from your own dc. And I had a teeny crush on the presenter too...

YABU Wink

Sparklymommy · 06/12/2013 20:22

Tony Hart and Neil Buchanon were ace! Mr maker is bloody scary.

SplitHeadGirl · 06/12/2013 20:29

Who is RH?? And yes...Mr Maker is rubbish. I have really gone off CBeebies lately...Spooky Spoon though is BRILLIANT!! Love her!

LetZygonsbeZygons · 06/12/2013 20:35

RH is he of the jake the peg and 2 little boys fame.

SplitHeadGirl · 06/12/2013 20:48

Ooohhhh....yes of course!! Thanks Letz!!

CalamitouslyWrong · 06/12/2013 20:50

DS2 loves the new art attack. He's obsessed with model making as a result.

CalamitouslyWrong · 06/12/2013 20:51

What is the point of the dancing shapes bit on mr maker? I find it vaguely sinister.

Financeprincess · 07/12/2013 06:25

Who was the Welsh bloke in the attic with hand puppets? It wasn't noted Welsh language presenter Gareth Jones, formerly known as Gaz Top, was it?

Financeprincess · 07/12/2013 06:26

I quite like the dancing shapes BTW. They are the best bit of Mr Maker.

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 07/12/2013 09:18

I fancied Buchanan as a child and you know what? I still WOULD!

Oh god I have a thing for a man who is good at art...

Mr. Maker is to the artworld what packet cake mix is to fine baking!

BatmanLovesRobins · 07/12/2013 10:38

Mr Maker = shit

Attic Hand Puppet Man = Chris Corcoran (Doodle Do), who I had the biggest crush on - the kids were allowed to watch that Xmas Grin

Neil Buchanan - great

Tony Hart - King of Art

But we are forgetting Mark Speight, who was also fabulous Xmas Sad

BertieBowtiesAreCool · 07/12/2013 11:46

He was my first crush too Malcolm Grin

He followed my friend on twitter. I was Envy

BertieBowtiesAreCool · 07/12/2013 11:46

Mark Speight was great :( He was wacky/silly without being annoying like Mr. Maker.

LetZygonsbeZygons · 07/12/2013 17:36

O good, now I can confess I had/have a crushette on Buchanan!! thought I was the only one so didn't want to say Grin.

BertieBowtiesAreCool · 07/12/2013 18:49

He seems very patient and kind, which are things I still admire in a man. He's miles too old for me now I'm actually a grown up though.
