To think Andy is dealing in illegal artefacts

I mean, it makes more sense.

He's at work, soemthing gets broken, him and Jen work out it can't be fixed, she mentions TIME, he disappears for a few hours and comes back with it.
I reckon he's involved in illegal Jurassic artefact trading, rather than the completely unfeasible notion of using him time travelling clock (I'm OK with this bit) to go back to the Jurassic period (I'm OK with this bit) and somehow jet pack across the frozen tundra or sail down the rapids on the boat (this is the bit I think is implausible)

I worried it'll bring the Natural History Museum into disrepute.

And poor Jen is so in love with him she'd never tell

Nah, he's just the go-between for Mrs Pickles who is obviously running the show. He and Jen are both obviously terrified of her...

Omg Glom do you think he's drugging Andy??? I mean, I've watched the Shark Rap, drugs would explain a LOT!!

Perhaps lovely Andy believes he times travs whilst he's shifting good for Mrs Pickles and then lovy Andy is still lovely!!

Is Mrs Pickles related to Mr Pickles? I do like a bizarre satanic dog.

Could be her dog, sounds like he'd be useful for an illeg Jurassic artefact deal

I love Andy. I refuse to believe he could knowingly be involved in any wrong-doing.

FrancesFryer · 22/01/2019 15:59

And i thought i missed my children being small

ASatisfyingThump · 22/01/2019 17:44

Nah, he properly time travels, but what I don't understand is why he's always in such a rush to get back. He has a time machine, surely he can just pop back to the same time he left?

MorningsEleven · 22/01/2019 18:01

Bless him, he's really not got the gist of this time travel lark.

I think the time travel clock is like a train. It leaves and arrives at set times. He has NO power over it

The one which gets me is the monkey puzzle tree one. I mean Andy, you’re at THe Natural History Museum - just jump on the district line to Kew Gardens and grab a few bits of tree! Surely that’s easier than travelling back 65 million years for a tree which STILL EXISTS NOW!!!!

I think I’ve watched it too much.

That's not as bad as the Tumble Weed one.

It blew across the ROOM!!!! Like literally turn around dude, it'll be there. You probably walked past it on the way to the clock

I went to the NHM and DS spent ages shouting ANDY’S COCK ANDY’S COCK!

WeeDangerousSpike · 22/01/2019 19:30

I found myself concerned the other week that the tooth or bone or whatever that he was getting wouldn't be a fossil, it was just a bone, and even if that didn't matter C14 dating wouldnt tally with the age of the specimen and the NH museum would be accused of some sort of fraud. BlushGrin

Also, are there two programs with him? He was tooling about in the eden project biome on a quad bike the other day! Confused

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 22/01/2019 19:32

He is one of the CBeebies stable @WeeDangerousSpike that is why you will him in many programmes.

Robert the Robot from Justin’s House is another repeat offender too.

WeeDangerousSpike · 22/01/2019 19:33

I may have talked back to the telly on the tumbleweed one.

Not only is it RIGHT THERE but... WE STILL HAVE TUMBLE WEED!! no need to go back umptey tump million years and jeopardise the survival of egg eating dinosaurs, just get one off ebay!!

JustJoinedRightNow · 22/01/2019 19:35

Love Andy and that show!

ISaySteadyOn · 22/01/2019 19:44

Thanks for this thread OP. I need to over think this. Do you think Hatty does things on purpose? Her backpack always has the right things.

Also, animal raps are brilliant.

ohwownosnow · 22/01/2019 19:58

I'm surprised he's not been eaten by a dinosaur

RobinHobb · 22/01/2019 20:02

I’m surprised they haven’t sacked the janitor - it’s always his fault!!!

AGoodMandarin · 22/01/2019 20:07

I also find myself angrily shaking my head and saying ‘well you know you’re accident prone Andy, why don’t you get to work just A LITTLE BIT EARLIER so you have time to fix these issues, rather than having to travel back to the time of the dinosaurs?’

I do love him a little bit though Blush

Raspberry88 · 22/01/2019 20:14

Also, are there two programs with him?
There are many...!! That is Safari Adventures (why does he need to be the same size as the animals, surely it would be easier to be Andy sized???)
What I don't understand is why there is Andy's Dinosaur Adventures and Andy's Prehistoric Adventures which also features dinosaurs...?
