"Its been ages since anyone posted here" - so why dredge it up? Confused

Its been ages since anyone posted here but i cannot believe how rude you are being about children!!!! if someone said that about your child, true or false, you would go mental. so think about it and stop being so unkind and cruel to innocent children!

Come Outside is my fave too. Auntie Mabel is so motherly. You feel that you copuld sit down in her rather dated kitchen and have a nice cup of tea and a cake.

There is something about Come Outside which I find totally endearing. So old fashioned but still so lovely. I'm not sure I want to BE Auntie Mable but I want her to be my Auntie.

I think she's sweet and I really like Grandpa in my Pocket! I don't usually sit through a whole episode of GBC though, or any CBeebies prog. (Bad mum.) I do love Come Outside though. I want to be Auntie Mabel. Used to like Old Bear, but not seen that for a while.

Oh thank god, i was feeling horrible for sitting there getting irritated at them and their crap acting even when they've probably been at stage school since birth. but I'm not on my own so that makes it ok!

Yes, I remember that! I hated that too

Do you remember "why don't you?" - the children on there had precisely the same tone of stage school irritatingness, but I loved it.
No idea if that means YA or AN BU

YANBU. The GBC is highly irritating and she is the worst of all of them. Unfortunately my DDs love it.

YABU!!! But only because GBC is the ONLY programme that keeps my 2 year old twins quite for longer than 30 seconds, oh and they can do the dance to it too and its cute!

But other than for that reason YANBU!

"Lily-Rose" got the gig cos she's blonde. Only explanation.

My ds1 (3.10yrs) had to get in my bed at 2am the other night (and this is extremely rare) because he had a dream about Jason Mason.

I rest my case.

Her weird eyes are what makes my teeth itch. There's a complete lack of expression in them. A very odd child. Only just worked out though that they are all named after nature-y things

GBC sucks almost as much as dirtgirl.

Yabu!!!! green balloon club and grandpa in my pocket are some of the best programmes they have. Lily-Rose is cute, i dont really like the adult one as she seems too old to do the songs and dance with them but all the kids are okay, the songs are catchy.
As for granpa in my pocket i may be sad but i find it quite entertaining

i've just googled it and she's not Samantha Womack's daughter. She was only born in 2005, she is called Lily-Rose though. According to wikpedia the girl who plays Lily-Rose is called Isabella Blake-Thomas

I agree that the boy from Grandpa in my pocket is annoying!

I'm fairly sure Lily-Rose is the daughter of Samantha Womack (Ronnie Mitchell)

Yey, it's not just me that thinks GBC is sickeningly stage school and the kids are all awful

As for Jason 'Not the shrinking cap grandpa' Mason -

Jason Mason from Grandpa in my Pocket - just awful (sorry)

Lily-Rose is quite sweet I think, dd likes her.

Lily-Rose is the only one I like. I saw her on Gardener's World once and she came across very well. Cat is bearable, but the boys make me cringe.
And don't get me started on the boy from Grandpa in my Pocket. I hate that program.... DD loves it.

YANBU.

They are all awful though. As Coldhands points out it's something to do with the unmistakable 'stage school' singingdancingpresenting performance.

However, I reserve especial ire for Ant. He makes me want to claw my own eyes out.

YANBU. DP harbours a deep dislike of the GBC for both its worthiness and wooden performances, and we both feel that Lily-Rose is the most wooden of the bunch. She's just so obviously been cast on cuteness rather than anything else. Not her fault obv, but still.
