Don't think anyone else has started a thread on this.
Anyway, Radio 2 are running a competition, the prize for which is a family trip to Balamory (Tobermory), staying overnight and the chance to appear in an episode. The competition is dead easy, just identify 3 classic children's TV theme tunes.
I still haven't worked out links, but its on
bbc.co.uk/radio2

My kids are too old or too young to be interested but sure there must be some of you out there that would just love it.

Oh I see, its the first 2 bars of teletubbies!

Durr says she who has a music degree and should be able to recognise these things.

Dd loves PC Plumb and I think his song is groovy (all together now) I've found your doggy

Am I the only sad person who is trying to remember all the words to the theme tune to sing along?

Well I shall just have to enter comp, but not before I've powdered my nose.

For all those Plum fans and JulieF who needs the words go here (may need to turn volume down if kids asleep

hoxtonchick · 20/01/2004 23:21

thanks, suzywong, ds is going to be soooooooo excited tomorrow (ok, he can't read, but i can!).

I got very excited when I discovered that site a few days ago. Dd1 and I sang along to it. Several times. She is now kind enough to call me 'mummy, PC Plum's doing his song' so that I can join in.

I cannot STAND Josie Jump.

If you honk your horn, can I step inside?

UnquietDad · 03/12/2006 16:38

Get with it pamina! Josie Jump regenerated at the start of Season 2. She must have absorbed all the energy from the Balamory Time Vortex, or something.....

JollyOldSaintNikkielas · 03/12/2006 21:07

AHem unquiet dad think you've spent too much time on Gallifrey!

Mercy · 03/12/2006 21:17

There are people who like Balamory

(mind you after 2 years how many of you/your children are still fans?) Not me! The novelty has well and truly gone.

UnquietDad · 04/12/2006 15:50

Compared with Me Too, Balamory is a positive masterpiece of subtlety and Chekhovian genius.

Agree with some of the subtexts others have found.
Pc Plum and Archie - gay lovers.
Edie - secret dominatrix.
Josie - amphetamine-head.
Spencer - local drug dealer.
Penny P - not really disabled. Like Andy in "Little Britain", she gets up to grab crisps from the counter when Suzie's back is turned.
Suzie - alcoholic manic depressive.

MrsArchieTheInventor · 04/12/2006 15:59

To all of you who think that Archie has his shopping delivered by the back door I can assure you that he most certainly does not!!! (at least in my dreams anyway!)

Posey - I can't find the link on the radio 2 website - can you post it at all?

EdieMcredie · 04/12/2006 18:58

This was started in 2004-thats why you can't find it. Sorry, it's my fault I got all excited b/c of my name!!!!!!!!!
