... to think Big Cook's talking shite when he says he works in the "best cafe in town"?

As far as I can work out, he and the freakishly small one can barely cope with one customer per day.

I like the musical interlude season things. I understand though that other Mners want to smash the TV with a brick when they come on.

Each to their own.

Interestingly though, i don;t think a single person has come on here today to say they don't think BCLC are wankers.

bettykitten75 · 06/11/2009 22:38

I believe it's maybe because they give the impression it's just a job.
The other CBeebies actors (bar the mad Mr Maker) seem to at least pretend they love kids.

pointydogg · 06/11/2009 22:47

Considering the almost inedible food he serves up, I think we can safely say that Big Cook tallks shite on this matter

MadameDuBain · 06/11/2009 22:50

DS doesn't watch much CBeebies now, and I miss some of it. I thought there were some good things on and talented people... BUT given that, I could never work out how and why they allow BCLC to exist, it's so obviously pants. Big Cock is soooo fake and unconvincing and dead-eyed, Little Cock is annoying beyond compare. All that "way hay!" and "Hoo hoo!" and Big Cock's soul-sapping dances, urgh.

For some reason about 50% of the episodes I ever saw were repeat of the one where he made a manky swan out of various bits of vegetables for a ballet dancer.

bettykitten75 · 06/11/2009 22:55

It's better than "Carrie and David's Pop Shop" but I think maybe I am scraping the bottom of the CBeebies barrel now....

cyteen · 06/11/2009 22:58

Urgh, Pop Shop is the most self-indulgent show without a doubt. No one, not even the most uncool 5 year old, wants to hear those two sing.

TAFKAAAAAARGHtheUrbanDryad · 06/11/2009 23:05

Those of you who think Mister Maker is cute and cuddly, look here.

Disenchanted3 · 06/11/2009 23:07

bettykitten yor mrmaker post made me cry with laughter. lololololol

MadameDuBain · 06/11/2009 23:10

But I think he looks nice, UD! And betty - at least he has a look in his eyes - unlike Big Cock.

I like Mr Maker, I like the way he actually does stuff quite well, and seems into it.

piprabbit · 06/11/2009 23:13

Mr Maker is more disturbing than BCLC.

BCLC are aware of the awfulness of what they do - why else the dead eyes?

Mr Maker thinks he is god's gift. He looks as if he is imagining all the mums sitting at home fancying him. The lack of self-awareness is distressing for those forced to witness it.

TAFKAAAAAARGHtheUrbanDryad · 06/11/2009 23:16

I know he has a look in his eyes! The look which says, "I'm going to find out where you live and cut you up into teeeeny tiny pieces and then.....FRAME IT!"

Ds loves Mister Maker and loathes BCLC though, so I reckon he's a boy of some taste, or possibly a psychopath. We shall see.

bettykitten75 · 06/11/2009 23:24

I agree with the last two posters. There is something about "Mr Maker" that makes me uneasy. He looks madder than a box of frogs.

Disenchanted3 · 06/11/2009 23:27

Frig...

DH just said 'Maybe Mr Maker is lonely?'

WTF?????

Disenchanted3 · 06/11/2009 23:28

Then again he does live in an all white room with homemade furniture...

Shit,

hes in a mental asylum!

Disenchanted3 · 06/11/2009 23:29

Mr Maker, nt Dh...(yET)

esselle · 06/11/2009 23:29

Oh my god! I hate Big Cock Little Cock soooo much!

Exactly how desperate to work in TV do you have to be??

Every time BC let's out a 'wahey' I could kick the TV screen in.

They are a pair of wankers!! I thought I'd be protected from this kind of crap by living in Aust but sadly no...

Now don't even get me started on how much I truly HATE Pete from Boogie Beebies. A*hole!!

Must try and wean DD off Cebeebies!!

piprabbit · 06/11/2009 23:35

Boogie Beebies was tolerable when they had that nice woman sharing the dancing and lots of real, ordinary children and toddlers joining in.

Then smug Pete staged a coup, the woman was diappeared and the children were suddenly a bunch of drama school recruits, much older than the target audience, and dressed in awful matching clothes. Yuk.

TAFKAAAAAARGHtheUrbanDryad · 06/11/2009 23:40

I hate Pete's gurning face, I suspect he may actually be on a fuck of a load of pills.

ameRIAcansmooth · 06/11/2009 23:41

IIRC BCLC did the cricket trailers on C4 for the Ashes a couple of years back, and were warring fast food caravan brothers in Kingdom...

fraggletits · 06/11/2009 23:48

Have you seen the new cookery programme on cbeebies with that butch woman, don't know her name yet, making tesco value pizzas with grapes on (boak). She sings as well.

I think it's a step up from the 2 cocks but still, not much better.

specialmagiclady · 07/11/2009 07:53

Ok here's an admission... I get a guilty sex feeling when I look at Big Cook.

Not that I want to shag or snog him, but that I actually might have once so drunkenly long ago I can't quite remember.

OP posts:
CatIsSleepy · 07/11/2009 08:12

that's quite an admission specialmagiclady...

re Big Cock's dancing, on reflection I reckon someone at cbeebies must have some incriminating material on him -how else to explain a grown man dancing like that? There's actually someone off camera shouting "dance bitch! or we're publishing those photos!" and boy does he dance...

fraggle -have seen that prog, they were cooking fish with a load of ketchup on it
bleurrgh

please, no-one be mean about mr maker. I can't explain it, but i like him...

bettykitten75 · 07/11/2009 08:13

I supose Justin/Mr Tumbles/the drag queen is above critism on account of all the work he does with special kids.
I wish he wouldn't wear those awful rugby tops though.
