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

It's very funny! Nanny Plum really grew on me

I actually enjoy Peppa, Daddy Pig is brilliant in the way that he definitely gets shat on by the rest of the family! I also love whenever they bring in the Wolf family, even though they are friends with the pigs they are always eyeing them up to eat!

I don’t think it’s very popular though is it

Nanny Plum is the tooth fairy! Ds2 aged 6 just lost his first tooth and I said Nanny Plum was coming to collect it. Don't think he believed me!Grin B&H is definitely one of the best children's programmes for the humour alone.

Loving Bluey at the moment. Definitely worth a watch

TeddyIsaHe · 03/10/2020 19:03

I will look Bluey up. Anything that Dd and I can watch and I don’t want to chuck the tv out the window!

We've just started watching Bluey too Smile My 3 and 5 year old love it.

Nanny0gg · 03/10/2020 19:18

It is excellent but nothing tops Duggee.

I think what is appealing for adults in both programmes is the slightly ironic adult - Alexander Armstrong and Sarah Ann Kennedy.

They just make all the difference.

Peccary · 03/10/2020 19:20

Yep, part of the Holy Trinity of programs I can tolerate for multiple episodes (Ben and Holly, Duggee and Sarah and Duck)

Emeraldshamrock · 03/10/2020 19:22

It is good Nanny plum is hilarious it is DP's nickname.
Personally spongebob is my favourite.

I love Ben & Holly and will be sad when DC are too old for it. I laughed an unreasonable amount at 'Acorn Day' last week. Also love Bluey but bloody sky have just lost their Disney kids channels!

My youngest is 12 now and we used to watch it. I loved Gaston.

Trinpy · 03/10/2020 19:38

And there is a Gaston is my homeboy T-shirt I am buying when I am skinny enough.

I NEED this t-shirt.

MolotovMocktail · 03/10/2020 19:46

Ben and Holly is the best, Nanny Plum is my spirit fairy.

Bing, on the other hand, is whiny little git and has been completely banned in this house.

blamethecat · 03/10/2020 19:47

I love it ! Planet bongGrin
We used to have an aquatic bit in a local garden centre, without fail there would be various families looking for big bad Barry 🐟

BullshitVivienne · 03/10/2020 19:47

Adding to the Bluey love. My eldest loves it and so do I. The parents are very relatable!

BabloHoney · 03/10/2020 19:50

Sarah and Duck is the best kids tv show but I do love Ben and Holly too. Nanny Plum is so cutting and hilarious

BletheringHeights · 03/10/2020 19:52

Not to mention king and queen marigold!

xMrsAx · 03/10/2020 19:53

Oh Ben and Holly is the best (except Hey Duggee)

I love Nanny Plum and the Wise Old Elf's banter. I love creepy little Tarquin. I love Grandpa Thistle and his 'abomonation' daffodil.

As you can tell, I watch wayyyy too much kids TV Blush

PowerToTheMeeple · 03/10/2020 19:54

Mine are too old for Ben and Holly now, but me and DH used to enjoy watching it too Grin

“MUTINY!!! MUTINY ON THE BUNTY!!”

Montii · 03/10/2020 19:58

Ben and Holly is good but Bluey is the best kids tv show hands down 🙌🏼

I think my husband and I love it even more than our son does 🙈

ThatsHowItStarts · 03/10/2020 20:00

What do you think of my creation, wise old elf?"
"It's an ABOMINATION"

Holly: "Daddy, what's an abomination?"
King Thistle: "That tulip

My favourite episode of all of them! Grandpapapapaaaaa! He'd been hiding for a year 😂
And the monkey kittens" noooooo millicent! "
