AIBU to think that Aunt Polly is the worst Tumble?

She’s the worst one right? Her voice and her bizarre accent and terrible clothes. Hands down the most irritating member of the Tumble family!

Also, what’s with the smug child voiceover to Mr Tumble, telling him what he can and can’t do? Is the child somehow in charge of Mr Tumble? What happens if Mr Tumble doesn’t obey and in fact decides not to send the tumble tap to Justin and his friends?

(Yes I may be overthinking this whole thing. I’m tired, and it’s still fecking lockdown. My life is small)

Baby tumble used to freak ds1 out to the point of tears (mr tumbles head in a pram) so I am voting yabu.

I think Mr Tumble has some sort of split personality & the voiceover is his other personality battling for control. When we hear it talking to the other characters, they think they're talking to Mr Tumble.

Isn’t it the tumble tab (tablet)?

Kids used to love it, me not so much.

I got a shock when I realised how old Justin actually is ! I imagined him to be a 30ish year old man but got a shock to see he is actually only a bit younger than me. than me so middle aged in other words !
I had a giggle at him the other day peddling a swan pedalo with a small child on the other side. I was convinved he was going to capsized it turning the corner as his side was so low in the water.
I wonder what the sign for ' sorry I have drowned your child is ' .

They're all awful!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 23/03/2021 10:20

@flapjackfairy Bloody hell, I just googled and he's 50?!!! ShockShock

Hiphopopotamus · 23/03/2021 10:23

It is indeed the tumble tab - my mistake!

@LadyMonicaBaddingham
I know . I couldn't believe it though I guess he has been around a good while so not sure why I didn't think it through.

“ I wonder what the sign for ' sorry I have drowned your child is ' “

I laughed so much at this, I know it’s wrong! I can just imagine him nearly arse over tit in a swan pedalo with a poor kiddy hanging on for dear life 😂😂😂

Vursayles · 23/03/2021 10:40

Astounded that he’s 50! Wish my chubbiness made me look so youthful.

Topjoe19 · 23/03/2021 10:41

I also thought it was Tumble Tap!!!

Why does Aunt Polly have those weird buckets hanging on either side of her head?

FoxtrotSkarloey · 23/03/2021 10:43

YABU because they are all equally irritating and on far too much.

FoxtrotSkarloey · 23/03/2021 10:43

But I do have a soft spot for Robert the Robot.

UnsolicitedDickPic · 23/03/2021 10:44

Justin's portrayals of women generally freak me out. He does a show called GiggleBiz and the women in it are all uniformly awful - they're all busybodies, crass, cumbersome.

UnsolicitedDickPic · 23/03/2021 10:45

During lockdown last year I started to get a bit of a crush on him. Thankfully DD has moved on from Justin's House or I could have a real problem by now.

It’s because her dress sense is styled on an old-fashioned milkmaid. I have to admit I quite like her sass! She doesn’t take any crap off the other Tumbles and makes Mr Tumble do all the housework.

Tittie · 23/03/2021 11:19

Does anyone else feel like Justin doesn't much like children though? In one episode he was a bit snatchy with his tablet 😆

Icecreamsoda99 · 23/03/2021 11:20

YABU I love the way Aunt Polly sounds! Her headress always make me think of her as a way more attractive version of the The Ugly Duchess by Quentin Matsys.

Some of you really need to get out more.

Or watch B L I P P I BLIPPPPIIIIII.

Nooo he's really dirty, I saw it on a other thread 😂🤢

I love Aunt Polly. She's my favourite one.

FoxtrotSkarloey · 23/03/2021 12:26

I'm fortunate DS' CBeebies phase was short lived, with a return for a brief (but painful) spell of affection for bastard whiney Bing during lockdown one, his affections are now firmly reserved for Gecko's Garage on YouTube which isn't too bad actually.

PumpkinsMum18 · 23/03/2021 12:35

Giggle quiz is odd! It’s like he’s trying to be like a kids version of Peter Kay? With all the different characters and impressions....

DrSbaitso · 23/03/2021 12:41

I love Gigglequiz. Ann Teek makes me laugh.

earlydoors42 · 23/03/2021 12:49

My little boy used to be scared of Cool Tumble and cry when he came on
