Children's TV characters you just can't stand

As a parent subjected to the joys of cbbc and beyond, I now have a deepset hate of Mr Tumble, Barney (don't get me started!!), Sophia the first and Doc McStuffins and her long running battle with Munchausen by proxy, to name but a few.
What children's tv characters really put your teeth on edge?

Katie fucking Morag Angry

DownstairsMixUp · 31/01/2018 23:11

Why do topsy and Tim call their friend by his full name ie Tony welch why not just Tony ???

Sidelook · 31/01/2018 23:17

Horrid Henry, hate him with a passion. And his mum gets on my last nerve.

MissDollyMix · 01/02/2018 09:58

Postman Pat needs his P45. He is AWFUL!! Total and utter, self important, incompetent idiot. Even DC know the strength of my dislike for him and offer to turn over before mummy starts gibbering at the tv again about "that stupid postman".

Archie in Ballamory, he is just soooo irritating. And PC Plum, a friend of mine who is an ex copper says he should be sacked anymore. Does he ever do any work???

DotCottonDotCom · 01/02/2018 10:25

Horrid Henry, hate him with a passion.

Wow I forgot about him. I absolutely hated it when DD got into him, i thought he was awful and his attitude rubbed off so easily on her (she has ASD and loves scripting!)

Can’t stand that woman from cBeebies I Can Cook. Katie I think. Also don’t like the woman who’s on CBeebies Let’s Play

QuackPorridgeBacon · 01/02/2018 13:25

MsWanaBanana That would be Rebecca. My partner has a thing for her but I really like her. I’m with you on Kate though. I find her irritating but again.

dingdongdigeridoo · 01/02/2018 13:30

Bing and his snotty little friend Pando. Ugh just fuck off.

Topsy and Tim get on my tits because they’re the sort of kids who act all perfect, but you know they’d be little shits on a play date.

I dunno if it’s on anymore but Tig from Wooly and Tig. Mostly because the actor got the part because her dad created the show. And towards the end she’s about 14 and playing a primary school aged child. Plus she’s just a brat.

paddypants13 · 01/02/2018 14:18

Kate and Mim Mim, I hate Kate's voice.

Upsy Daisy. I can't stand her. Angry

CheeseAndOnionIceCream · 01/02/2018 18:22

Peppa Pig. She is a badly behaved brat who encourages bad behaviour in the kids who watch her,e.g. jumping in filthy puddles.

Jumping in muddy puddles is one of our fave rainy day activities!

wornoutboots · 02/02/2018 12:11

abner and teal
sarah and duck
tilly and friends

Insipid, wishywashy shite!

Carouselfish · 02/02/2018 12:21

Topsy and Dweeb.

The person who does the voice for Mim Mim and Squirrel Nutkin. How did he ever get work?

Mrs Rabbit. Awful, awful voice. I sort of imagine the MNetters I generally disagree with sounding like her.

Melody. Can't act. Why was she cast? She's not especially more musical than anyone.

Carouselfish · 02/02/2018 12:22

Oops, realise I may have been hating the actual people rather than characters....

Aeroflotgirl · 02/02/2018 12:23

Topsy and Tim, Bing, Mr Tumble (though my dcs loved him when they were little), Peppa Pig.

Laiste · 02/02/2018 12:50

Bing. Murder - it's a bing thing? WHEN will Flop discipline the whingy brat?

Everything's Rosie is ok but sooooo sexist! The lad gets to ride round in his car while the girls do baking ect.

Kate (mim mim) voice is unbearable and where do her parents keep running off to? TTC?

Rastamouse gets turned off.

DD wanders off during Justin's house, Pueblo, furchester hotel and Go Jetters.

Laiste · 02/02/2018 12:53

Tospy and Tim ....

See now i started off hating that but now i'll happily stick it on loop on youtube. (except the bloody granny and that dog - oooh i've let myslef in and my lovely mossy's just shat on your floor again - rascal - Hmm)

Sarahh2014 · 02/02/2018 12:58

Daddy pig from Peppa.urgh hes a pompous condescending ..pig

Laiste · 02/02/2018 13:12

Can i just say - Everything's Rosie theme tune - Aaaaaaaarsing along, aaaaarsing along ..... Grin

Have a listen - you can't unhear it.

Lemontart25 · 02/02/2018 13:13

Oh god BING!! Who thought of such shite. Horrid little thing. Glad I am not alone.

Baby Jake
Topsy & Tim... the whole thing is too perfect. In a weird way!
Show me, show me
In the night garden
Raa Raa
Teacup travels
The nurse in Get well soon too Grrr
And more recently Yaka dee!

Lizzie48 · 02/02/2018 13:18

Rastamouse is very annoying, but it's the President who really gets on my nerves!! Grin

Nanny0gg · 02/02/2018 14:44

The nurse in Get well soon too

What on earth has that song and the ball throwing got to do with going to the doctor??

I actually miss Agent Oso to the pp who mentioned him, loved it lol & Handy Manny!

Handy Manny was ok but Oso was just too stupid to be let out alone.

Talk about Bear of Very Little Brain - he made Winnie the Poo look like Einstein.

Speakng of Little Einsteins...

paddypants13 · 02/02/2018 20:31

Dh hates Bing. He thinks his mouth looks like an upside down vulva.

I once saw a poster on here refer to Katie Morag as Katie Toerag. GrinGrin
