Change the fucking record Andy

I have had it up to my back teeth, with that lanky streak of piss. We now have Andy's Safari adventures, sequel to Andy's dinosaur adventures, which is indistinguishable from Andy's prehistoric adventures, which follows Andy's baby animals.

All have exactly the same format even the same fecking theme tune. My DD will watch nothing else, and I now want to feed him to the woodchipper, like they did in Fargo. AIBU?

Another Andy fan here, DD that is, not me!

I too have Andy's Baby Animals tune on repeat in head quite often.

Oddly, they run several of the Andy programs on children's TV in Sweden too, although dubbed of course. DD delighted she could watch Andy at my mum's when we last visited. Didn't seem phased by the change in language :-)

Andy's becoming the new Justin.

Every time Jobie is on Dr Ranj I have to try not to laugh at the fact that in my accent/dialect, jobie= poo.

toomuchtooold · 12/02/2018 19:16

Which, if it's someone's actual name, please forgive me for having the sense of humour of a seven year old Blush

Redwineistasty · 12/02/2018 19:16

I used to fancy him until someone mentioned his likeness to Fatima whitbread!

lurkingnotlurking · 12/02/2018 19:18

I'd have either Dr Ranj or Andy #notpicky

Riverside2 Dr Ranj AND cbeebies or Andy AND cbeebies should show you

Nanny0gg · 12/02/2018 19:19

I was thinking this this Morning, why can't they give Ben something? It's about time surely!!?

No!!! He's a total wet fish.

thesparkthatbled · 12/02/2018 19:22

Write the theme toon, sing the theme toon... Grin

NotCitrus · 12/02/2018 19:27

Dr Ranj works near me and everyone I know who's seen him says he's totally lovely.
And his eyebrows should get their own show.

Andy is fine in small doses. I once persuaded mine that the tellybox would crash if it was made to play more than two of the same show...

lottiegarbanzo · 12/02/2018 19:30

Nooo, Ben is lovely!

The theme tunes for Andy's programmes are rubbish; 'let's just say the name of the programme in a slightly singy way. And repeat'.

tolerable · 12/02/2018 19:30

i hate cbeebies. i hated the original tellytubbies.my that thing you put in code for youngest is too old for it thankfully he has not worked out how to unblock channels on tv remote yet.

DonttouchthatLarry · 12/02/2018 19:32

I saw a pic of him that I honestly thought was Fatima Whitbread in 'I'm a Celebrity....' !

pastabest · 12/02/2018 19:33

I don't think Dr Ranj is as medically qualified as he is supposed to be. One of the puppets came in with a UTI the other week and then a few days later the same puppet was back with diabetes. Surely any tests done for the UTI would have shown something was amiss.

Negligent.

I've never warmed to Andy either. Too much hair.

TimesNewRoman · 12/02/2018 19:33

Omg Fatima Whitbread! LOL
Will never look at him the same.

Agree with PP that Ben should have more to do, I really like him.

Olympiathequeen · 12/02/2018 19:43

Andy is lovely. Away with you and your imaginative body disposal.

LittleSwede · 12/02/2018 19:47

Had to google Fatima Whitbread, OMG, it IS Andy!! How?? Cloning?

BigFatGoalie · 12/02/2018 19:55

Noooo.... Shock

Change the fucking record Andy
MrsBobDylan · 12/02/2018 20:01

Omg, I used to fancy Andy but you bitter lot have ruined everything now...I can only see Fatima Sad

Emily7708 · 12/02/2018 20:07

God yes, absolutely sick of him and his bloody nonsense.

But the other week I had just endured an episode of Andy’s Prehistoric Adventures when something popped up on Facebook saying “the last TV programme you watched describes your sex life”, so it was uncannily accurate.

canarypotato · 12/02/2018 20:09

Don’t mind Andy. Cannot stand Show Me Show Me. Even dd says ‘it’s the programme you hate mummy’ if it comes on.

Emily7708 · 12/02/2018 20:17

I noticed they’ve re-recorded the beginning bit of Show Me Show Me where the child used to say “we’re off on a zurney” - my kids repeated that for ages when they were small!

I vaguely know Mister Maker as he’s my friend’s cousin.

SparklyMagpie · 12/02/2018 20:19

thesparkthatbled omg!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

And yes I know Dr Ranj isn't out to impress the ladies...although he wasn't arsed in my dream Shock....although I'm not an unattractive woman if I do say so myself, but one can dream...and indeed I did

Aww lay off Ben, I think he seems lovely an has come out of his shell a great deal more since that god awful Ryan has come along

SparklyMagpie · 12/02/2018 20:20

I also wouldn't mind Dr Ranj working at my GP surgery, they're clueless at the best of times so I wouldn't mind repeat visits nods

SparklyMagpie · 12/02/2018 20:22

Fuck sake,don't mention Mister Maker, my son is OBSESSED!! now that guy In tongues me but in a different way

Dick

SparklyMagpie · 12/02/2018 20:23

Thanks autocorrect

*intrigues

I don't want Mister Makers tongue anywhere near this temple

Every time Jobie is on Dr Ranj I have to try not to laugh at the fact that in my accent/dialect, jobie= poo.

This! haha! You scottish too? My DS asked how the man was named after a poo!! Jobbie!! Grin

Yes, I'm immature.
Yes, Andy gets on my tits tooo
Mister Maker is annoying but easier on the eye.
