To think Ben & Holly is the best kids program?

Just found this on Netflix and it is pure genius. It’s hilarious!

Dd has finally, finally got bored of Bing (the little psychopath) and doesn’t like Duggee (WHY) and is entranced by this. I feel this is one of the kids programs I’ll keep watching when she’s in bed Grin

YANBU! I have a slight crush in Mr Elf ngl Blush

caughtalightsneeze · 03/10/2020 10:02

It is. It's very funny, loads of it totally wasted on children.

Our children are long past the stage of kids TV but DH and I were just saying recently that Ben and Holly was the one programme that we enjoyed too.

WhiteVixen · 03/10/2020 10:02

Yes, husband and I like Ben & Holly as much as the toddler-face! Luckily she also loves Hey Duggee though, so we get to watch that too!

Oysterbabe · 03/10/2020 10:04

It is very good. I love Duggee though.
DD has recently got into My World Kitchen, which I enjoy a lot.

FourPlasticRings · 03/10/2020 10:07

My sympathies on her not liking Duggee. That's the best, in my opinion. I've had to ban Bing outright, can't stand the thing.

CovidStoleTheRainbow · 03/10/2020 10:07

Yeah we love it too.

winewolfhowls · 03/10/2020 10:10

It's definitely all about hey duggee

TheGirlWhoLived · 03/10/2020 10:13

I’ve only had a third child so I can watch kids tv again. Eldest is 10 and I’m bored of YouTube so I’m going back to Ben and holly

SydneyCarton · 03/10/2020 10:14

I love the episode where King Thistle has lots of royal engagements to do and is forced to watch the elves dancing 🤣 “How awful!”

ShebaShimmyShake · 03/10/2020 10:16

I'm pretty sure they made some direct 2001 references in the space episode.

Sindragosan · 03/10/2020 10:17

I love Nanny Plum and her snark.

golddustwomen · 03/10/2020 10:18

Nanny plum is a legend.

I LOVED 64 zoo lane though, don't think they show it anymore.

canuck43 · 03/10/2020 10:22

Love Ben and Holly, can't stand Peppa Pig who sulks and whines if she isn't winning.

peakygal · 03/10/2020 10:24

Do you know Nanny Plum is also Ms Rabbit in Peppa Pig? I love Ben and Holly too

minnie465 · 03/10/2020 10:26

I watch Ben and Holly even when DS isn't here Grin it's so funny

GrouchyKiwi · 03/10/2020 10:29

It's mutiny! Mutiny on the Bunty!

I love Ben & Holly. The jokes are fantastic. My children used to adore it but haven't watched it in ages. I must remember to put it on next time they can't agree.

MrsWooster · 03/10/2020 10:29

Dd is now 7 and I miss all the good stuff like B&H! I got a talking Nanny Plum a few Christmas ago and treasure it.
Try and get yours into Sarah and Duck as well which DP and i sometimes watch late at night for its sheer loveliness

EggHead268 · 03/10/2020 10:34

Absolutely agree! Nanny plum and the wise old elf crack me up!

Cannot stand pepper pig she's such a little brat.

wizzbangfizz · 03/10/2020 10:35

Older kids here but we loved Ben and holly - brilliant!

TheBitterBoy · 03/10/2020 10:37

I loved Ben and Holly when DS was little. My favourite episode is the elf clock and Nanny Plums tummy. We still call our cat Nanny Plum when he turns up for dinner bang on time Smile

TheKeatingFive · 03/10/2020 10:39

Tarquin like playgroup is a much used catchphrase in our house Grin

WhenTwoBecomeThree · 03/10/2020 10:40

I love Ben and Holly! Also reliving my youth and make sure I put Milkshake on in time for Thomas the Tank Engine (for DD, of course!).

Ricky Zoom's theme tune is another I love too haha

Lottieskeeper · 03/10/2020 10:42

Ben & Holly is the only thing on TV the whole family (ages 18 months, 5, 34, and 38) will all watch happily and enjoy.
The proper grown ups (grandparents) love it too.
It's got something for everyone.

User27aw · 03/10/2020 10:42

I loved Ben and Holly, my youngest is 9 so i havent watched it for years. My favourite episode was Big bad Barry. Nanny Plums voice is brilliant.

MrsCrosbyNRTB · 03/10/2020 10:43

I bloody loved Ben and Holly. I’d love to go out on the lash with Nanny Plum, she’d be brilliant fun.

Lots of stuff aimed at parents too
