I've given them a chance, really i have, but they make me wince. They are so false and wooden. Cerrie clearly sees it as a stepping stone, i saw her on the "one show" and she was pretty much the same, no personality behind the pretty face. As for the guy, he says everything with an insincere smile plastered across his face that makes me want to punch his lights out.

Even the simpering skye was better than this pair, at least her simpering was genuine!

I loved chris and pui and i want them back - please, if thats ok.

I thought Cerrie looked slightly pregnant the other day. I need to get a life i know, but I found myself hoping she was. Still don't think Cerrie and Alex are any good. But we're stuck with them.

I agree they are both shit.

But in their defence, DD2 (aged two) is OBSESSED with them. "Where's CerrAlex?" is all I get morning, noon and night. They must be hypnotising her in some weird TV way. Evil pair.

YANBU! They are awful, they have no sense of humour, and are bored and BORING and clearly have no chemistry between them whatsoever! I too have given them plently of time and a proper chance. I really really wanted to like them.

The highlight of my day is when Cerrie turns round looking all excited and sings "Hello moon"
Ah yes, the Milkshake presenters... (strokes beard)
I like Sid and Andy. The Autumn song was my favourite 'when the lights come on out-side-the-shops.'

The one thing I dont understand is the Deal or No Deal sketch thingy - why would preschool children understand it? They do an Antiques Roadshow one too which is equally as puzzling.

I (and DS ) miss Chris & Pui too! Especially Chris for all his songs - Loved the teeth-brushing song where they were dressed up as a toothbrush and toothpaste tube and the "If you're feeling rather sleepy" song with all the animals. The bedtime song is just not the same without him - Cerrie & Alex can't even sing!

Doodle do man is fabulous -he's so dry and not at all patronising which makes a lovely change - would be great if he agreed to do some more episodes.

I love Big Cook Ben (have a very secret crush on him), so it must have been my subconcious typing

Big COK and little Cook Frasier's Mum?

What sort of parties do you go to?!?!?

Why thank you!

Any particular fruit for the beard (or is it a character from a book wot I have not read)? I am picturing an upside-down Carmen Miranda.

I idnt realise Big Cok and Little Cook are a comedy duo too! If you go to a comedy gig and they are the comedians, how the heck do you take them seriously?

"The oven is hot! Hot! HOT!" in increasingly high/camp voice

As camp as Christmas and then some, Fruitbeard.

I will be pmsl tomorrow when I have to sit through BCLC again ('high-kicked his way down the kitchen' lolol)

Oh, and the first time I saw Big Cook do the 'tidy up' song, waving those dusters as he high-kicked his way down the kitchen, I nearly spat my tea out. So camp it's untrue!

I hated Andy but he has grown on me.

I miss Chris

I avoid commenting on Justin's looks since DD called him 'Daddy' (there is a resemblance...)

DH fancies Jen from Milkshake. Well, he says he doesn't, it's just that she's so happy and cheerful, but I've noticed him paying close attention when she's doing her Jolly Body Jigs

Definitely a bit on the weird side when Little Cook gets astride that wooden spoon....

And I HATE IT when Big Cook Ben does those stupid arm moves that look like bad karate chops.

Captain DJ is a bit of allright (I can't believe I am even saying this, my life is over)....

I always hated Chris, I'm afraid. The only time he redeemed himself was the Hugo Monkey thing. That was ace

Otherwise it was 'I'm only doing this for a laugh' bloke in an extremely dodgy waistcoat having a camp conversation with a talking bookcase.

Clearly genius, but somehow it evaded my grasp...

Miles Jupp who plays Archie in Balamory is a comedien in real life. I also heard something about him doing something on TV that had an adult theme, though I might be making that up?

Guilty of not reading whole thread but also guilty of wanting to do dirty things to the doodle doo guy, even though I'm happily married.

I like Little Cook Small, but think Big Cook Ben tries to hard and can see him as an extra in the Bill or something.

Captain dj is a comedian in adult life.

Alex is wrinkled and looks old, he looks like he needs a rest most of the time. I miss C&P too.

I find Little Cook Small a bit creepy - it's the hair I think.

DD1 gets cross every time Granny Murray says 'Hello Sweetie Pie' - she shouts "I am NOT Sweetie Pie, I am DD1!"

Big cook Ben and Little Cook Small are also presenters on Nuts TV. How grim/hilarious is that? A friend told me, I googled it - it's true! Apparently Small is actually about 6'6, tee hee.

Got to laugh at Cerrie's supposed favourite game though - she must have a bit of a sense of humour!

I can't abide Andy's teeth.

Doodle-Do guy gay? Nooooooooooooooooooo! I really like him.

Cerrie and Alex are too wet. She is better than him, and they have both improved since they started but they are still awful!

Don't like Andy I'm afraid, but Sid is OK.

Yes to Me Doodle-Do and Captain DJ. Maybe to little cook but definitely no to big cook. And no-way to Justin, and even more no-way to Mr Tumble. I can cope with Justin as a presenter but Mr Tumble is creepy.
