Was also coming to post my love for this show! Wish they made more - love nanny plum's sarcasm!

Lana1234 · 21/01/2019 21:04

Ben and Holly is the one I can probably stand the most 😂 peppa pig does me bloody head in though

mammmamia · 21/01/2019 21:05

The dancing animation is so funny. DS and I sometimes do that dance together Grin

At some point in our house someone will shout out 'Jelly Flood' or son calls the cat a stinky Gaston from our favourite episodes. Kids will be 12 this year

YouWinAgain · 21/01/2019 21:11

Love Ben and Holly, as does the 3 year old!

Nanny Plum is so funny and Gaston the barking ladybird who loves spaghetti bolognese Grin

Coralnails · 21/01/2019 21:11

Ben and Holly is my absolute favourite kids programme.

votedremainbutnowleave · 21/01/2019 21:13

Don't worry you'll be sick of ben and holly as well within a few weeks Grin

BikeRunSki · 21/01/2019 21:13

I use to love Ben and Holly.

Bring back Gaston over any of the Par Patrol puppies.

45andahalf · 21/01/2019 21:15

Love Ben and Holly, it’s so funny. Sadly, despite my best efforts, DS prefers Blaze and the Monster Machines.

RayRayBidet · 21/01/2019 21:19

It's mutiny! Mutiny on the Bunty!

Sindragosan · 21/01/2019 21:19

I love nanny plum, Ben and Holly is pretty unobjectionable, unlike most other things. Peppa pig is just annoying, Norman Price is too, and Chase is a massive suck up to Ryder.

‘Tarquin LIKE playgroup’ is what we say in our family, when there is mischief afoot.

B&H is a little shining, twinkly light in the miasma of twee and plain awful kids tv. Won’t hear a bad word said, me.

Yabbers · 21/01/2019 21:21

And the wise old elf was Parker in thunderbirds.

Which makes the whole “elf rescue” episodes that bit more inspired!

BusySittingDown · 21/01/2019 21:22

I think the voice of Holly is Zoe Zebra too (or at least one of the voices in Peppa Pig. The Wise Old Elf is also Grandpa Pig.

Vegisgrowingwell · 21/01/2019 21:24

Love love love it. Gutted my 2 don't watch it now (although we caught it on telly and all watched it the other day!!!).

I love the one where the wise old elf dresses as a bee!

Jakeyboy1 · 21/01/2019 21:25

I don't know but the best thing is Gaston.

Loyaultemelie · 21/01/2019 21:29

Even Dh turned around when we saw a squirrel the other day and yelled "acorn day!"

Cherrysherbet · 21/01/2019 21:30

I love Ben and holly. I’m so sad my dd has grown out of it (or so she tells her friends!).

Unihorn · 21/01/2019 21:34

The worst thing is that they haven't made enough episodes! We've completed it on Netflix about 27 times at least, now we've moved onto Duggee though which I'm also okay with to be fair.

Justbackfromnewwine · 21/01/2019 21:36

Nothing at all! It’s my favourite. Shame my dd prefers peppa and horrid Henry at the moment.

IsabelleSE19 · 21/01/2019 21:36

There is nothing bad about Ben and Holly, apart from the fact my DC don't watch it any more.

When I watch Vikings I always sing the Ben and Holly Vikings song. I also love King Thistle's birthday song.

My mind has been blown by the fact that the Wise Old Elf is Parker - definitely need to rewatch Elf Rescue now!

IsabelleSE19 · 21/01/2019 21:38

I forgot that my DS still does Tarquin's voice when he's being bratty. So actually that isn't great. He seems to have seen Tarquin as aspirational rather than a cautionary tale Hmm

GrouchyKiwi · 21/01/2019 21:46

Unihorn Netflix doesn't have all the episodes! I discovered this when we found it on Prime. There are loads more! And they're excellent.

Jfw82 · 21/01/2019 21:51

All the love.... I love Gaston and on general like Ben and holly but nanny plum drives me insane as all I here is the even more irritating miss rabbit.... I def consider it a huge improvement on peppa and love that my 2yo thinks all ladybirds are called Gaston!!
