To hate the Clangers, In the Night Garden and Bing with a passion?

[Justanyrh1]

The Clangers: they look like knitted penises and sound creepy as fuck.

In the Night Garden: headache-inducing relentless gibberish (is there scientific evidence that this kind of thing is good for young brains or are they just aiming to torture us?!)

Bing: I keep expecting Flop to suddenly snap and murder the whiny little shit.

Hey Duggee and Sarah & Duck, however, are brilliant. Why can’t we have more like this??

I just love Mr onion, I find myself saying ‘onions’ to myself in that funny voice throughout the day. Bing is a brat though.

The “Scottish hour” has got me thinking - does CBeebies have any Welsh shows?

None that I can think of. Melody is played by a girl from Cardiff or thereabouts (called Angharad, so no ambiguity there!), but the programme is made in Watford.

It's a backward step from the good old days of Super Ted, Fireman Sam and Ivor the Engine!

Grasping at straws here, but isn't Sodor in Thomas (not on the BBC, granted) supposed to be located in Gwynedd (or possibly Anglesey)?

I love Sarah and Duck so much. Perfect in every way.

Bing is an annoying little sod and Mark Rylance is clearly on the most enormous quantities of valium. I eagerly await the day he goes all Thomas Cromwell and has Bing brutally murdered in a Harrowing of the North.

ITNG is Iggle Piggle's dream hence the illogical sizing.

I can't stand Peppa pig and irrationally hate Daddy Pig with a passion.

Used to love Charlie and Lola but doesn't seem to be popular anymore and don't mind Ben and Holly either.

I find Bing's expressions, especially when his ears droop, so annoying.

I can't believe no-one has mentioned Tee and Mo. That's my DS's favourite.

Webuilt weirdly Sodor is based on the Tallyllyn railway:

www.talyllyn.co.uk/

which is also Ivor the Engine's branch line (Llantisili and Merioneth Rail Traction company, near Tywyn beach, all fits). So they are literally alternate visions of the same railway.

Waffle dog is the worst.
Closely followed by
Bing
Moon and me
Peppa pig

Nobody seems to have mentioned giggle bizz 🤮

Also, from the already small budget, I'm guessing that quite a tidy amount of it had already been spent on 'herbs'.

I love Duggee! I love the fact that when he teaches the Squirrels science stuff it's accurate and factual.

Unlike stupid Peppa Pig. Can't remember the episode but it was just plain wrong.

Ben and Holly is also fab, purely because of Nanny Plum (nowhere near as irritating as Miss Rabbit)

Thanks for that, info, Sashkin - very interesting.

The little kid in My Petsaurus is Welsh, and the narrator (Ruth Jones).

I love Moon & Me and the Twirlywoos, there a bit creepyish like the kids shows from the 80's

Can't stand Waffle the dog & his 'voice'.

And I hate, hate Nanny Plum. She's moans more than the kids.

@Mimbizz no one dares mention Justin Fletcher in case that 50 Shades of Tumble thread appears again

What is 50 Shades of Tumble?!

Haha I second that....50 shades of tumble??

Yep we hated In the Night Garden so much we used to call it In the Shite Garden.
Mine are 12 as 10 now but the worst by far back then was Third and Bird. God that was awful

Why must Pando strip to his pants in the opening credits of Bing? Inexplicable.

Bing can fuck right off my tv. As can the night garden. And moon and me.

We are currently into fireman Sam (channel 5 new version), postman pat (special delivery service) and Andys dinosaur adventures.

All annoying in their own way but not half as much as bing.

I'll always love ITNG for the moment when I was reading one of the books to my 2 year old, and stumbled onto the line:

"Makka Pakka was busy washing his stones."

I didn't recover from that for a couple of days...

I absolutely hate bing with a passion! He’s a whiney little brat that doesn’t listen to a word flop says does what the fuck he wants and then cries til flop fixes it!
His voice goes through me too

Bing and fucking Pablo are responsible for so much drama in my house that wouldn't otherwise happen.

Biggleton makes me shabby.

I can't stand Bing but I have to admit that it's quite a useful tool for getting DD to talk about things that worry her (the dark, loud noises etc).

Sarah and Duck is excellent. A member of my family said Sarah reminded them of me, and I was actually quite flattered!
