To think that justin fletcher is the best childrens presenter (cue jeremy clarkson voice) IN THE WORLD!!

He is isn't he - he clearly loves children - probably because he is still a big kid himsellf. But its heartening to see a childrens present who actually LIKES children, instead of using it as a stepping stone to the one show - cerrie for instance and alex (puke).

YANBU< he's something of a saint in the SN world.

timelordvictorious · 19/12/2009 11:18

He freaks me out a little, but DD loves him, especially as Mr Tumble.

I'm with you on Alex and Cerrie though, they're still rubbish. We're big Sid fans in this house.

nickytwotimes · 19/12/2009 11:20

timelord, I am a big Sid fan, iyswim.

MaggieAnFiaRua · 19/12/2009 11:22

i have to admit, he's good on gigglebiz, my 7 year old has given up on cbeebies and tries to watch drake and josh and that kind of thing, but she'll race back in to watch gigglebiz if her younger brother is watching it.

i agree about the SN thing. I learnt a few signs from him, i did try signing before pecs...

cookinmama · 19/12/2009 11:22

must admit when my dd first started watching cbeebies i wasn't too keen on him but you are right he is fab and obviously is doing a job he loves.

MaggieAnFiaRua · 19/12/2009 11:23

oh yeah nickytwotimes. sid in his nice tight t-shirts. i said to my dd 'sid always has lovely t-shirts'. she gave me the look

wouldn't like to see justin in sid's t-shirts though

SleighBelleDameSansMerci · 19/12/2009 11:23

Ooooh I really like Sid!!

DD absolutely adores Justin (thankfully not Gigglebiz though) although I find him somewhat odd.

MaggieAnFiaRua · 19/12/2009 11:24

i feel mean for saying that about justin. i take it back. it's not his job to look nice in a well-fitted t-shirt.

timelordvictorious · 19/12/2009 11:40

But it is Sid's job, Maggie. Very keen on his new haircut.

Justin is great, very good at his job, and clearly adores children, but there is just something about him that I find a bit odd.

(But he isn't Big frickin Cook Ben, for which I am truly thankful!)

NoahAndTheWhale · 19/12/2009 11:41

Justin is great .

GiggleBiz is totally surreal though. I like it and so do DC but it is odd

WobblyWenchisBEHINDYOU · 19/12/2009 11:44

we love Justin too, he is fab.. Yes Sid and Andy are the best eye candy lol and they are funny.

BetsyBoop · 19/12/2009 11:54

YANBU

Our kids both adore him in anything he's in.

He has an impressive range of talents/skills too, not just acting/singing/comedy timing, but juggling & tap dancing for example. He obviously LOVES entertaining people too, which comes across in everything he does.

The kids aren't very keen on Alex & Cerrie, but LOVE Chris & Poi in "Show me show me"

CommonNortherner · 19/12/2009 11:55

He used to annoy the crap out of me when Cbeebies first went on in this house, but I too succumbed... I suspect he's a bit like the Demon Headmaster and I've been hypnotised into liking him on his quest for world domination.

NormaSknockers · 19/12/2009 12:00

Urgh cannot stand Cerrie & Alex, they're utterly crap! Rather fond of Andy though, such a waste him being gay!

Justin is fab, although he's far to comfortable dressing up as a woman

SantaWears2SnowShoes · 19/12/2009 12:01

FiveGoMadInDorset · 19/12/2009 12:01

We saw him at Camp Bestival last year, he was so good but so small. He is coming back this year for all 3 days I think.

dinoroar · 19/12/2009 12:08

I adore Justin, so do my DCs. I'm not really interested in anyone else on cbeebies!

PuppyMonkey · 19/12/2009 12:12

I love him and dd adores him. I have interviewed him (I write for a local newspaper, shhh) and he is lovely. Says he doesn't want to move into adult TV and get really famous, he loves being a children's presenter!!

CommonNortherner · 19/12/2009 12:13

FiveGoMadInDorset: What do you mean "so small"?? Is it like Mike Teevee and they're now going to have to stretch him??

MrsSaxon · 19/12/2009 13:43

Andy is gay???? Nooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Love Sid, but Justin is mazing, he has a real warmth to him.

Whatever happened to (((shudders))) Sarah Jayne?

nannynobnobs · 19/12/2009 13:57

I just did that MrsSaxon... Andy gay... NOoooOoooOOOOoooooo!! (fists raised to sky)I love Sid and Andy, they look like such fun.
Justin was roughly neck and neck with Daddy in this house for Best Male for a looong time.
Doesn't he have an MBE?
He should hire himself out for childrens parties. I'd cough up.

brandybutterfly · 19/12/2009 13:59

She was like a mini Bonnie Langford wasn't she?! Sooooo irritating.

We really like Chris, Sid and Justin too (and Andy looks like a good laugh too )

MadameOvary · 19/12/2009 14:01

How do you know Andy is gay?
(Like he'd fancy me anyway but still!)
He's known as "Eyecandy" here.
I like Sid too [lascivious]

AmazingBouncingFerret · 19/12/2009 14:07

He's gay?

Hang on wasnt there a thread on here a while back about Andy and someone came on saying she was his wife? Everyone believed her aswell..

Bathsheba · 19/12/2009 14:09

I also love Sid and Andy....I'd like to go out for a pint with Sid and Andy....I think they would be good pub company.
