to think that carrie and alex from Cbeebies are quite good actually

[flabbyapronbelly]

Was totally with everyone at the beginning that they were total pants. Am not sure if they have just been given permanant contracts or what but they have recently got sooooooo much better. I even quite like them now. Was even a little teary at the lovely bedtime star Alex made tonight. AIBU or is anyone else with me on this one?

Carrie I like. Alex is mind-numbingly boringly wet (just my opinion )

They are better than the tunts from channel 5!!!!

I thought her name was Kerry

Actually, it's Cerrie.

I like them. Cerrie is pretty good and Alex is improving. I really didn't like Chris and Pui though

Though talking of Carries, I am almosttearful with relief that I have managed to avoid Carrie and David's Chuffing Popshop for weeks now.

God, I hate that show.

You might well duck, Dorothea.

awww, i love alex, hes my all time favirote presenter.

but i think i'm a little biasd as i know him in RL and he is really lovley

It's true - they were absolute cat plops and recently have become...well, bearable at least. They seem to have lightened up considerably.

yanbu. They have grown on me now.

Just as long as the Cbeebies producers stick with them and sid + andy for the next 4 years (when both dc's are at primary) then I'll be happy.

D'you know, my kids are a bit older now so we no longer watch cbeebies. It took me ages to like Chris and Pui but now I LOVE them. I was devastated when they were replaced as were dcs. I think Cerrie and alex just need a bit of time to find their feet and they will be fine

I love Chris Jarvis - I record Show Me, Show Me for DD just so I can watch him . I think he would be a great person to be friends with...

Do think Alex is wet though, and smiles an awful lot in quite a sinister way.

Does anybody remember Ava? She wasn't around long...

SHow me, Show me is amazing.... is really helping us and our dd with talking!

I like Cerrie, and Alex is getting better - even though he has the wrinklies forehead ever.

I think that Carrie and David's popshop has been taken off the air

YABU- they're still rubbish.

Agree about Show Me Show Me, am laughing out loud daily.
Love the bit with the nursery rhyme characters coming to the shop. Love the personalities and accents they give to them - brilliant stuff.

Yanbu. I quite like Cerrie and Alex too. Their faces make me laugh when they sing.

I love Chris and Pui! DD loves Show me Show me.

I remember when I was little and Chris used to be in the broom cupboard and he used to do that character Anorak! Waaaay before the days of Cbeebies.

They have grown on me, Pui still irritates me though

They're ok....

But Andy and Sid are the BEST.

(Note to self: Must, must start to get out more)

YABU. That desparate-for-approval smile that Alex does makes me cringe. Cerrie's not as bad but I still find her quite fake. They both just seem to try too hard.

Chris and Pui are way, way better.

Chris and Pui aren't as sugary sweet but have to agree that Carrie (I too thought she was Kerry!) and Alex have grown on me.

I love the raps that Sid and Andy do!

I remember Ava! She got pregnant very quickly (or was when she joined maybe?) and left.

I My dc's don't watch cbeebies as a rule any more but I have seen some and find Alex a bit wooden, but he and Cerrie are quite sweet. I think Chris would be great fun in the pub. My favourite ever is gorgeous Paul from Tikkabilla, iirc he did some fill in bits too once upon a time?

So, YANBU.

They are getting better, but they did go through an irritating phase of saying 'hello cheebies' which made me want to punch the television.

We have still not gotten over Chris and Pui in this house though. I really miss the music that Chris used to do. sigh.
