To expect cbeebies prgrame writers to think about their audience???

[SlightlyMadSweet]

I mean what 2yo can pronounce (and what 31yo can spell?)
ninkynonk?
pontypine?
tomblyboos?
pinkyponk?

It may be cute to hear their varients but at least yuo could pronounce La la and Po.

they probably think they're being funny and ironic.

get them trumpton videos

I have found toddlers weirdly able to pronounce all these concoctions

It is strangely hypnotising and brainwashing to them I think.

be thankful you get to watch cbeebies instead of cbbc.at least in the shite garden has pleasant music rather than endless NOISE

DD (18 months) has a good go at them. She could say "iggle piggle" before she could say "granny".

i think mr tumble is great

Hmm, well my 2.10 year old says nink nonk, Pontypine, Tom Boos and pink ponk, but then he also says Bob Didler, Postmat, and Dubba Dubbas so it's not just limited to ITNG

why does this bother you?

yeah , I love mr tumble ( not really, obviously, like, you know what I mean!)

cos DD3 is frsutrated that she can't say pinkyponk (th elittle red men things?) and tomblyboos...

That's true. DD is a big fan of the "bob-bob-ogs".

mr tumble is king. but I have never got all this made up talk. surely small people(and my dd who maybe 13 but has sn) should be encouraged to talk properly.

I know they are all character names, so being made up is not an issue to me. But come on lets have 1 or 2 happy sounding syllables.

Instead we get about 30 syllables and a name which sounds like it belongs to a tin can.

It doesn't matter!

my 2.5 year old dd says 'it's stoooo-pid!' excitedly when stupid comes on.poor child has no knowledge of the innocent cbeebies.

lol, I make my older ones watch cbeebies divastrop (actually they prefer it, dd1 (almost 11)rushes to make sure she has done all her chores in the morning so that she has time to watch Charlie and Lola before she goes to school )
