Yes yes yes!!!

KindergartenKop · 21/01/2019 20:37

Nothing. It's a work of genius.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 21/01/2019 20:38

Ben and Holly is amazing, very clever writing, it makes me laugh with the jokes that go over the top of the children’s heads.

bananamonkey · 21/01/2019 20:39

All the voices cross over! Daddy Pig, Grandpa Pig, Pedro Pony etc. It’s discombobulating Confused

Cookit · 21/01/2019 20:40

I really like Ben and Holly!

Is it over does anyone know or is there a chance they might make more episodes?

Cookit · 21/01/2019 20:40

Oh yeah Father Christmas is Daddy Pig I think.

Itwasntme101 · 21/01/2019 20:40

Daddy pig is father Christmas, grandpa pig is the wise old elf. There's no escape OP

Love Ben and Holly.

I'd say it's the sexual tension between Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf

Oogle · 21/01/2019 20:47

Nanny Plum is amazing! I love Ben and Holly. Lots of humour just for adults, which is always appreciated!

WeCameToDance · 21/01/2019 20:49

Everytime somebody mentions Ben and Holly I get 'chickens ride west' stuck in my head so thanks for that...
I do love the wise old elf though.

mammmamia · 21/01/2019 20:50

Ben and Holly is so clever. I really miss it now my DC have grown out of it Sad

Dietcoke131 · 21/01/2019 20:51

Yay I’m not on my own!! Loveee Ben and holly!! Haha xx

GrouchyKiwi · 21/01/2019 20:51

No no no. Ben and Holly is the best. I put it on for the children so I can watch it.

GivemeGivenchy · 21/01/2019 20:52

I love Ben and Holly. It is amusing. I always encourage my DD (almost 3) to opt for that if we are watching tv !

Fabvegetablegrower · 21/01/2019 20:52

I used to love Nanny Plum she's hilarious. I've escaped kids tv now! Grin

Cagliostro · 21/01/2019 20:54

Ben and Holly is fantastic. My 11 and 9 year olds will still watch it :o

We even do the eye twitch that some of the characters do when stressed.

Cagliostro · 21/01/2019 20:55

Oh and whenever we need to do something but can’t be bothered, it is mandatory to say “but my wand is over theeeere” in a whiney king thistle voice.

Jebuschristchocolatebar · 21/01/2019 20:56

I love the fact Gaston the ladybird’s brother is called Tony and the episode where granny thistle gives the twins wands belonging to Vlad the terrible and Sharon the totally insane.

joanmcc · 21/01/2019 20:56

The Wise Old Elf needs his own post-watershed spin off show.

JohnWolfenstein · 21/01/2019 20:58

How dare you OP?! There is nothing bad about Ben and Holly. It is genius. I often channel my inner Nanny Plum- if in doubt, turn them into a frog. We quote it all the time. Dd2 even described her enormous poo as a Big Bad Barry poo!

Aprilshowersarecomingsoon · 21/01/2019 20:58

That Garston isn't real!!

flumpybear · 21/01/2019 20:59

JELLY FLOOD!!!

BrassicaBabe · 21/01/2019 21:01

I so miss Ben and Holly. Pure genius. And it was such a blessed relief from Peppa Pig if I remember right. About twice the length!

maras2 · 21/01/2019 21:03

We frequently have a B&H fest even when we don't have the DGC's with us.Blush I've even perfected the Nanny Plumism ,,, 'Wotevah' ..... but it just gets an Hmm from the grandkids. Smile
