Am I the only person who finds this programme weird and a bit unsettling? Especially ‘Gail Force’. Just very very weird.

My child loves it. It leaves me baffled.

And I’m really not sure it’s a preschool programme. Surely it goes over their heads?

Perhaps I’m just tired and grumpy.

It's amazing! It's like "The Fast Show" but for pre schoolers!

pasbeaucoupdegendarme · 18/04/2019 17:16

I hate it with a passion.

cheesenpickles · 18/04/2019 17:16

Hateeeeeee it.

iklboo · 18/04/2019 17:17

Biz is another word for poo round here. I rest my case Grin

Mistlewoeandwhine · 18/04/2019 17:17

I think it is funny and I am 48. I am quite immature though..😁

JaretsGirlfren · 18/04/2019 17:22

When DD was about 2/3 she was convinced Gail Force was me, every time she was on the tv DD would shout ‘mummy’s on the tele!’ Blush I have changed my haircut since then

PositiveVibez · 18/04/2019 17:24

Dd is 10 now, but it was going when she was a little. We used to think it was funny 🤣. Especially the geordie who is rubbish at everything.

Spud, that's what Justin Fletcher says about the show himself. I find it irritating like most kids shows but my kids watch it, even though they don't get the jokes.

BarrenFieldofFucks · 18/04/2019 17:30

I love Justin Fletcher. Not in a sexy time way obviously.

That's a WHOLE other Mumsnet thread Envy

NoShitHemlock · 18/04/2019 18:05

I love Justin Fletcher, and TOTALLY in a sexy time way Grin

I can't help it - I think he would be very snuggly and take instruction well Wink

Also our favourite is Dina Lady and her sponge (not an innuendo)

If I wasn’t alarmed by Gigglebiz then I certainly am by you lot 😂😂

I hated it when DS watched cbeebies! It's so irritating! Gail Force was my least favourite.

Thankfully, DS prefers cbbc these daysSmile

pastabest · 18/04/2019 18:13

It's about the only thing on CBeebies that I can actually watch.

Not a huge fan of Justin but I like the supporting characters.

Gottalovesummer · 18/04/2019 18:15

Used to watch it even when my kids weren't....

OwlinaTree · 18/04/2019 18:16

I like this show! Makes me laugh but not the kids!

DisappearingGirl · 18/04/2019 18:19

I always thought it was like The Fast Show but for preschoolers AND not funny

Bringbackbertha · 18/04/2019 18:23

Ann teak..... I just want to... well... i cant say in a public forum...

Oh and that one that does the tours....

Robbie the robot on the other hand... especially when he was dressed as will Shakespeare

BarbieJellyBabyBrain · 18/04/2019 19:49

I always thought it was like Little Britain for kids.

I always remember on here someone saying that they knew someone who had shagged Justin Fletcher and that he was 'a very attentive lover'.

flitwit99 · 18/04/2019 19:53

I love gigglebiz more than my kids. Dina Lady is my favourite. Ann Teak, it's genius.

Stroller15 · 18/04/2019 20:00

I love Gigglebiz but I do have a terrible sense of humour! My 2yr old doesn't get all the jokes but he laughs when I laugh and when someone falls over or the bear sneaks up.

Wifeofapostie · 18/04/2019 20:12

It’s weird... a bit like a Peter Kay sketch for toddlers!!
