I think King Thistle's Mum and the Wise Old Elf have a history personally.

Wish they'd more seasons of that show, I loved it!

No3392 · 30/07/2025 23:23

Absolutely not, it's nanny plum and the wise old elf.

Darragon · 30/07/2025 23:24

Nanny Plum needs to unionise. She gets treated like utter shite.

LadyGillingham · 31/07/2025 01:26

I’ve decided to binge watch over the weekend to find more incidents to prove my point … lol

Someone I used to know reckoned it was a psychiatric hospital, and they were all patients, with Nanny Plum as the Nurse.

That's quite a whacky theory!

BoilingHotand50something · 31/07/2025 20:02

Yes it’s Wise Old Elf. 100%. Positively simmering!

bellamorgan · 31/07/2025 20:04

I did a binge as well, and it's all your fault @LadyGillingham

Grandmamma Thistle clearly has history with Wise Old Elf- "Hello Cedric, Hello Millicent".

I love the posh relatives, King & Queen Marigold. The episode where they come to the little castle for dinner & Nanny Plum serves them steam of soup. Because it's modern! Oh, and the episode where Grandmamma Thistle gives Poppy & Daisy new wands.

Mr Gnome & his lady gnome Gloria were awesome!

My favourite is Big Bad Barry. "It's mutiny! Mutiny on the Bunty!"

I LOVE this show. Yes, it was a spin off from Peppa Pig. Many of the voice actors are the same. There is an episode of Peppa where Daddy Pig is looking at a map- and it's the map of The Little Kingdom.

For fans, here is the wiki.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom. Nanny Plum is awesome!

MrsVino · 09/08/2025 06:36

Nah, I reckon it’s Captain Redbeard, not King Thistle.

Oops, think I used a bad link. Here it is.

I think the Wise Old Elf has 3 sons, all pirates. No mention of a Mrs Wise Old Elf. Hmmm.

God I'm pathetic.

I'm camping at the moment, and in the bathrooms this morning heard a dad speaking to his two kids, age ~3+5, called Ben and Holly. And now I'm thinking... Does he know? Was that on purpose?

RhaenysRocks · 09/08/2025 07:18

Miles better than Peppa Pig ..there was an episode when B&H went to the big girls house and there's a toy Peppa in her room. I remember once my kids have left the room and I realised I just had carried on watching. Teens now and one if them put it on all day when she was poorly.

No! I would've been on the floor laughing.

Then again, they are both perfectly nice names.

Reminds me of being at Sth Melb market (I'm in Australia) loading the car with purchases for a work event. The mum in the car next to us was also trying to load her purchases but she had 2 small girls. She yelled "Shakira! Get off Beyonce!" I almost died.

Thank you, you've made my day!

MonkeyTennis34 · 09/08/2025 08:17

Ben and Holly!!! I feel emotional thinking about that show.

Jelly flood!

Run for your lives!

I had no idea it was linked to Peppa Pig, also gorgeous but B and H is the best.

Bunnycat101 · 09/08/2025 08:23

I love Ben and Holly- definitely one of the best programmes for kids (and adults).

turkeyboots · 09/08/2025 08:27

DD has been watching Ben and Holly in Spanish for revision (thank you Netflix!). Its brought back great memories!

Dustyblue · 09/08/2025 11:56

I liked the Fairy Mayor of the little kingdom who looked like Boris Johnson. 😆

PollyBell · 09/08/2025 12:00

So she is cheating on wise old elf?

FriNightBlues · 09/08/2025 12:33

Maybe we should ask Gaston?
