Justin F***ing Fletcher

[Fourfifthsof]

AIBU to switch the TV off every time his smug f*ing face appears, even though DC seems to love him?

Justin's house, Mr Tumble, Gigglewhatevers and just when you think it is safe, he appears singing happy birthday. Enough already, Fletcher! Take your spotty bag and Foxtrot Oscar!

^ ooh, Jess ask her whether she can rejoin Mitchell and Webb to do a play based on Julian Barnes's Talking it over/Love etc. I have those three in my head when reading those.
As you know I'm non UK, so last time I saw her was Night Manager. I missed the CH 4 flowers thing. But I will always adore her for how she held her head high and rose above being exploited on the film Confetti (lied to about nudity and was not told about lack of pixellation, found out at the premiere. ). She is talented, humble in interviews, all round lovely.

He voiced Doodles as well. I really like him - very talented man - although I'm not keen on Justin's House (too much like Noel Edmunds House Party).

The shows I really hate are GIMP and that awful cartoon race thing where the kids just get to cheer and do very little else.

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

See I love Doodles so Justin's voiceover work it would appear grates on me far less than Miss Screechy (Nanny Plum/Ms Rabbit).

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

Wow, Kimmy I didn't know that! Just Googled it (research purposes only, mind - I have no interest whatsoever in Ms Coleman's naked derriere - I'm a Bloomingdale all the way!) Yep. That's dignity. Good on her.

[Imstickingwiththisone]

Yes I hate Ker-whizz its awful. Not that bothered about Justin, I accepted he basically is cbeebies a long time ago and made my peace! What's the score with Ben? He still seems so awkward despite having been a presenter for a while.

My grandson loves Justin's House, and we sing along loudly every time. SS is very good as it helped me a lot when I was learning sign language. HOWEVER, he's how old? Google his age and see what you think!

Btw, speaking as a postman Pat expert, anyone else wonder what's happened to Miss Hubbard in the relatively new episodes? I reckon reverend Timms has her locked up in the vicarage!

[Vagndidit]

Sooner or later your children will outgrow Cbeebies and replace Justin's face and voice with a myriad of Gumballs, Stampees, Spongebobs, etc..

And You'll miss him. or not

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

Just googled...not sure whether I am surprised about his age or not. He kind of looks at least that old or older in some photos (hard paper round) but having a round face is still baby faced in others. But he'd probably say that about me and DH.

[StarsandSparkles]

Yanbu mr fucking bloody tumble was my sole reason for upgrading my sky to the extra kids channels. While justin fletcher does great work with disabled kids mr tumble gives me the rage/heebies jeebies in equal measures

[Richtea83]

Does anyone know if he's married or has kids? I've always wondered this

[Ankleswingers]

I know someone who has worked with him a lot in RL and says he's a really nice guy.

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

OMG! I just Googled Mr Bloom, aka Ben Faulks and he's from the same county as me. So, not Northern at all. And only five years younger. Was clearly meant to be. The stalking begins..... mwah hah ha!

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

Also, we were born in the same town. If those Veggies get in my way, they're Halloween fodder.

[WaitrosePigeon]

I agree OP, he's....... well I will just say even my children used to be quite scared!

[KimmySchmidtsSmile]

^ Don't know about DC but one mumsnetter claimed he split from his wife 2012: no sources to back that up though.

[LifeLong13]

You are super unreasonable! We're big signers in this house and we love him!

I signed all this for you btw OP

I think he's fab

[LifeLong13]

But for those that do dislike him-
I have it on good authority that he's nicknamed Mr Stumble around the Beeb

[ItShouldHaveBeenJess]

To be fair, I was married to a right clown, and it was exhausting.

[HarryPottersMagicWand]

"But then I bet all the Justin haters can't get enough of Topsy & Tim"

Fuck no! Urgh. Awful programme. If you can't stand it, Hurrah for Gin has made a brilliant version of the episode we all want to see. It is hilarious!

See I've read on Sleb threads on here that he isn't that nice in RL and is completely different on camera. I've seen it said more than once so who knows.

[HarryPottersMagicWand]

Topsy and Tim

[Riversiderunner]

LOVE Justin here. The work he has done for children with SEN and for those who don't is immeasurable.

Will not hear a word against him.

Nina and the Neurons, and Mr Bloom, however... don't get me bloody started

[NuclearSwan]

OH GOD YANBU

[Riversiderunner]

Hang on jess, TRURO?

I've never heard anyone with an accent like that from Truro before!

On another matter, I have just discovered those twins on Operation Ouch. Now THEY are worth watching...

[OutnumberedbyFurchesters]

Thinking about it.... Another dislike string was added to Justin's bow when I saw him on JUstins house be hind the scenes video on CBeebies FB page...

He was still being a character, happy, silly... False. And it made me feel all because people who always seem to be playing a character do... I wonder what he's REALLY like?!

I recently went on a makaton training course for my job, the woman who taught us works for the makaton charity. She told me that one of her co-workers is the woman that stands behind the camera signing.. and he copies! I felt a bit miffed that he doesn't know makaton.
