To be annoyed at the northern accent that the woman uses on Show me Show me. I just find it so irritating! The rest of CBeebies is ok just this that irks me.

I'm watching it right now, I'm Northern and I don't hear it?

Mr Bloom's hammy accent on the other hand.... Confused

Has anyone ever seen Sid from Let's Play dressing up as a woman? Because I often see Rebecca donning a moustache to play a man, but I have never seen him in a dress. Unfortunately, the show does my head in, so I am unwilling to watch it any more than is absolutely necessary to find out if I have a legitimate beef!

mercifulgibbon · 09/07/2014 15:36

He dresses as an old lady in an episode. And a princess.

At least the majority of you don't have to put up with a massive fat arsed furry bug named Blodwen chatting shit how your rrrrrrhugby team make you oh so very proud.

FUCK YOU the lingo show.

I love Gigglebiz! There are some great characters!

Katy, is so patronising! I can't stand her!

Also, is it me, or does Pui put on an American accent for her role as Bo Beep? It's bizarre....

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 09/07/2014 16:19

Oh I hate Gigglebiz. How many programmes does that man need?

beccajoh · 09/07/2014 16:20

I bet he's quite rich though.

mercifulgibbon · 09/07/2014 16:21

I love gigglebiz too. Not a fan of show me show me because of Chris's eyebrows.

ThingyTheBusCleaner · 09/07/2014 16:28

Everyone on cbeebies seems to be Scottish to me - Me Too, Nina, the nurse on Dr Raj.... Sure I've noticed lots more!!

What's with that?

DeMaz · 09/07/2014 16:42

Don't forget Miss Hoolie, BusCleaner!... Wink

DoJo · 09/07/2014 17:47

Oh no - that's just left me with an unjustifiable hatred of Let's Play then. Oh well, I can live with it. WRT Show Me, Show Me - we recently bought a new door bell and one of the options for a chime was the theme tune to Show Me, Show Me. I am convinced they saw me coming and decided to try and make me have some kind of attack of the vapours when I heard it!

ThingyTheBusCleaner · 09/07/2014 18:22

Oh yes the whole of Balamory obvs.... Katie Morag...

nannynoss · 09/07/2014 19:49

dojo I will give you another reason to hate Let's Play. Rebecca's constant pout! It's a kids' show, not a bloody catwalk.

I loved all of Justin's programmes until I saw him on a night out smoking and drinking. I know he's human, and I work with kids and was also out, but it ruined the illusion. I can't look at him the same way Grin

poppytripll · 09/07/2014 20:13

Pui as bo peep is so annoying!! Why the weird American accent?

Oriunda · 09/07/2014 20:34

I love Show Me. It lasts 40 mins so I can leave DS watching it on ipad instead of having to click on a new Bing episode (his current fave) every 5 minutes.

DoJo · 09/07/2014 20:43

Don't get me started on Bing - ALL THOSE THINGS EXISTED BEFORE YOU! Doing a wee/hiding in a chest/sharing toys/anything else is NOT a Bing thing you bugger!

I know what you mean about Rebecca's pout, but I do at least find her vaguely amusing, whereas I always seem to end up watching the ones where it's Sid playing and he just bores me.

nannynoss · 09/07/2014 20:50

Ha, I am the other way round! I love Sid whereas Rebecca grates. She always seem to get chosen to play when I watch it and I find her so smug singing the 'it's me' song Angry Angry

Electriclaundryland · 09/07/2014 21:26

Why is nobody mentioning Jess and her bloody 'feelers out, what's about?'rubbish? Her forced enthusiasm really pisses me off.

friginilla · 09/07/2014 21:48

Wooly and Tig for Scottish accents too (apologies if already mentioned)
I started off hating Show me show me, now ee ei ee ei I like it Blush
I am northan by the way.

whitepuddingsupper · 09/07/2014 21:51

Penny Pocket does my head in, she is so smug and patronising to Suzy Sweet.

DoJo · 09/07/2014 21:55

Nannynoss - it does add a certain degree of excitement when you have a preference of who it is, so I suppose that's something! I've never really understood why they have to pick one anyway - is it to teach kids that they have to take turns? Seems a bit pointless when even my two year old can spot that they both end up playing.

ThisBitchIsResting · 09/07/2014 22:06

YANBU at all. Show Me Show Me is just so cringingly educational I always imagine Chris and Pui slouched down chain smoking and being rude to everyone as soon as the cameras stop rolling. And Chris looks like he's about to cry of boredom. They look so fake and the bloody retro toys are just crap. And the ee-oop thick McDonald character she does is the worst.

Ah, that felt good to get it out.

What was Justin up to? Is he gay? Google is inconclusive on this. I think he's fab as Mr Tumble but can't cope with Gigglebiz.
