Aibu or is this show shit? Dad has just discovered it and it makes me so cross.
Their mum is so wet. Tim doesn't want to come downstairs and meet the new teacher, "ok Tim". No, it's not ok Tim, you're being rude and you can play with your rocket later.

And the last day of nursery episode???
Fuck off Tony Welsch's dad - invite the whole fucking nursery over to your own fucking house!

I think I'm the only mum that likes Topsy & TimConfused

Or a brush stuck in a huge tangle in her hair! I once took the kids to school with a brush stuck in the back of my hair because I'd got distracted half-way through brushing it and forget it was there.

Awful programme. DD (5) watches it sometimes but we have remarked how dim the twins are. She said "why can't Tim dress himself properly? He's nearly at big school?"

I think he is old enough for year 2 by the look of him.
And how does Topsy do her hair like that?

Why do people always wear the same thing all the bloody time on kids programmes?

Google image search is failing me, but there's an illustration in one of the original T&T books which is captioned "Topsy and Tim were playing in the garden" and shows them rolling around in the grass beating seven bells out of each other.

Never seen that episode....

Topsy and Tim aka Twatsy and Tim in our house. DD loves it at the moment but I think it might be marginally better than Woolly and Tig Hmm

99percentchocolate · 12/08/2016 08:21

FreezerBird - I want to see that episode!

Would also like to see the episode where the mum stubs her toe, swears, and then T&T spend the next week repeating it at every worst moment.
I would pay to see that.

Pmsl at this thread. My dcs are too old for T&T thankfully and I think it may have graced our screen once! I feel like watching one just to share the rageBlush

LauraMipsum · 12/08/2016 22:22

bottom just like T&T are meant to be four but are actually about ten, Mr Rosen is meant to be on his last legs but is actually about 50. I always imagine him getting a call from his agent "We've got you a really great role in a children's show!"
"Really, what is it? A dad? Shopkeeper?"
"You play the genial elderly man from the old folks' home who needs the dial a ride bus service Topsy & Tim's dad provides"
"FML"

I love Bing and Flop is my role model :)

HarryPottersMagicWand · 15/08/2016 22:39

I hate the way the talk about "what happened to us today", um nothing ^actually happened to you today. Some precocious shit to some bratty kids, I wouldn't call a friend getting scratched by a rabbit as something happening, or birthday balloons floating off as something happening. God help them in the real world when stuff does actually happen! You know the standard weirdo on a train walks up to talk about boobs or broken glass all over the park that was left their by teens writing "Baz wuz ere shagin Kandy." Their fragile little minds are going to be blown!

seahorse106 · 15/08/2016 23:43

I call them Tipsy and Gin! It makes my dd really angry lol

I hate the episode where Topsy has just come out of hospital and their car has a flat tire. The way the mum says Oh No... like the world has just ended really annoys me and the way she strokes Topsy's hair like she's massively traumatised about it. And why doesn't the dad just change the tyre while they're there instead of getting Rhiannon in the bloody mini bus to come and get them?
Also why do they call DIY Derek that to his face how patronising.
