Which CBeebies character would make the worst partner?

user1471517900 · 10/07/2020 17:32

Pat would be worst- clearly takes ages to make every delivery. Not a fan of his own home life.

Andy disappearing back in time/across continents/ to band rehearsals would run him a close second.

Thoughts?

Slightly off topic but ds is a bit old for cbeebies now, horrid henry is his favourite now his mum winds me up she is so horrible to Henry

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 10/07/2020 20:48

In fairness, Henry is a right little shit.

user1471517900 · 10/07/2020 20:51

If we are including CBBC then Danger Mouse would be up there as a terrible partner, he's obviously gonna have EAs all the bloody time with Squawk and Jeopardy

Mr Pontypine and his flying moustache....all that “me me me me me me”
And all those step children.
Stressful

Topsy and tims mum! She clearly is addicted to valium!

Applesarenice · 10/07/2020 21:12

My husband and I have an ongoing joke about each of us fancying Topsy and Tim’s mum and dad. I wouldn’t kick Andy out of bed either...

Applesarenice · 10/07/2020 21:12

Daddy pig 100% the worst

Wannabefarmer · 10/07/2020 21:58

The best partner would be Mo from Tee and Mo. Strong, independent, take-no-shit woman that's also a great parent. She can also pull off a pink tutu and hair flower. She's my idol.

DeltaFlyer · 10/07/2020 22:04

Mr bloom and all his tiddler nonsense. He needs a punch. Shame really as he's not bad looking

Magicbabywaves · 10/07/2020 22:06

The dad from Waffle fo sho. He’s that damp patch left on plastic chairs when your fanny’s been sweating.

Magicbabywaves · 10/07/2020 22:08

Although I should have said the dad from Baby Jake, given that’s where my user name is from. He’s also a smear of a man; strutting round his windmill like one of those jizzing pigeons.

MuchTooTired · 10/07/2020 22:08

@Pogmella I think it’s called Molly & Mack. ‘Ooops oh no’ song is now stuck in my head, and will replay on a loop constantly for the next five hours at least.

Mr Tumble/his various other characters/Justin would all be awful partners. Even looking past the cross dressing, the stupid voices would cause me to snap and bury him somewhere they’d never find him. Ditto Bing with his whiney selfish ways.

I can’t think of anyone on CBeebies that I’d want to be partnered up with at all 😂

SpeedofaSloth · 10/07/2020 22:16

I won't have a word said against Mr Bloom. He was my CBeebies crush when my kids were little.

ChristmasFluff · 10/07/2020 22:22

Tinkie Winkie - don't want someone stealing my handbag. Or Dipsy - all those bloody adjustments he's always making.

Whereas LaLa and Po would be very pleasant partners

Ormally · 10/07/2020 22:23

Sorry but I'd totally have Archie (Balamory). Used to think I should get out more, but that's quite irrelevant just now.

Worst choice, I'd probably have to go with any of the characters from Tilly and Friends. Followed by Abney, Teal, and Bop. Are any of these still on?

listsandbudgets · 10/07/2020 22:32

Fireman Sam.. I imagine that anyone living within 15 mile radius of him is bankrupt from trying to pay the insurance premium.. seems a dangerous business being anywhere in his vicinity.

And what was that horrendous purple dinosaur called.. he's certainly low on my list of potential life partners.

Agree completely about Topsy and Tims mother..

On the other hand Bob the Builder can move in forthwith.. Ive got loads of DIY that needs doing.

DullDullWeather · 10/07/2020 22:45

Haha I remember Miss Hoolie

Long time since my boys watched it but I would hate to be stuck with PC Plum and his strangely round face and smile.

DullDullWeather · 10/07/2020 22:45

I felt PC Plum had the hots for Miss Hoolie

DullDullWeather · 10/07/2020 22:47

@listsandbudgets Grin Grin

Dinosaur was Barney . DD had a talking one of those one Christmas . Took it everywhere with her unfortunately .

It's complicated.

@Pogmella

Came on to say the Waffle doggy layabout dad. Clearly hung like a horse or how on earth has he persuaded his two perfectly together looking baby mamas to procreate...

DH has a theory that the Topsy mum is actually a functioning alcoholic and the dad is run ragged holding the family together with her mum’s help...

I feel like current baby mama is a good match for drippy Simon. She's always dressing like a loon or indulging the dog in his latest whim. His ex is slightly quirky but has a great career and seems grounded. I reckon new wife was the other woman and ex wife was just relieved to get rid of him, which is why she's always so happy and even went to their wedding.
sayanythingelse · 11/07/2020 00:45

All of the family based ones are terrible. Topsy & Tim, Molly & Mack, Katie Morag. I'd hate to live in any of their families.

On a slightly different note, however, I must nominate Police Officer Liam for best cbeebies person.
