I just cabnbnot get over the woamn that washed her pram wheels - she had a spare set that she called "dirties" the sad fucker.

Thank god she hasn;t got real kids (looks around house at milk stained carpet/drwan on walls/children looking filty despite being bathed this morning for validation for this statement)

Dp's jaw was on the floor during the entire prog

MilaMae · 03/01/2008 10:30

Surely they need some kind of help. Not sure what kind of help though.

SheikYerbouti · 03/01/2008 10:31

Help? They need to be put down

As a Home carer i visit an elderly lady in the evenings and when i first went into her house i felt like i was being watched.
In her bedroom she was all the walls covered in...Scary life like dolls.
Every inch of the house is crammed with them.
Thank goodness i don't have to spend too long there!

This was one sad programme.

And, at the risk of getting myself deleted again for a personal attack:

She had the doll for two days before she noticed someone had stoved in the back of its head.

I'm ringing the NSPCCFD

(National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Creepy Freaky Dolls)

But I love Real Harry.

NewYearBiggy · 03/01/2008 10:47

She was actually quite old, wasn't she, clean-pram-wheels-woman. Was it her mother that travelled with her to collect the doll?

wheresthehamster · 03/01/2008 10:51

Did we know why she had to travel abroad to get that doll?

Why couldn't it be posted to her?

Sounds like a set up by the TV people to me.

muppetisacat · 03/01/2008 10:52

All i can say is that the lady who spent nearly £300 on clothes for the doll made my blood boil... felt like dragging her down to my local women's refuge to show her what that money could be spent on

the sad thing is she probably STILL wouldn't get it...

Tamum · 03/01/2008 10:53

I didn't see the program but reading this thread is hilarious- I'm sure there would be money to be made by having the posts on here appear on the screen in lieu of subtitles "OMG it's got a car seat" etc

SorenLorensen · 03/01/2008 10:54

I recorded it - stop talking about it til I've watched it!

08aGreatYearForCarmenere · 03/01/2008 10:56

I wonder whether she was going to get a seatbelt extension on the aeroplane home ?

sparklygothkat · 03/01/2008 10:59

I wondered what on the earth the airport staff would say?
'oh do you need a belt for your baby??' scary pram woman turns ugly fake baby round, airport staff run screaming for the hills!!!

sparklygothkat · 03/01/2008 11:00

or would they make her put it in the hold??

DoubleBluff · 03/01/2008 11:38

That was one of teh most bizarre progs ever.
Those dolls were macabre.
If I ever saw a woman pushing one in a pram I would run away very fast.
They did look dead it was horrible.
Thnk God for the voice of sanity Harry and his Grandad.
Now onder HArry Mum moved to NZ.

nicgeodav · 03/01/2008 11:43

that woman was weird talking a if little harry was dead and turns out he has moved to the otherside of the world!!
no bloody wonder!!
also the freaky woman with the designer baby clothes what a nutter can't believe she took her doll and pram to harrods, weirdo!!!!

nicgeodav · 03/01/2008 11:45

wonder what the airline thought about her checking in her pram with no baby!!
she was acting like she was waiting for someone to give birth to it when she was waiting in the hotel room!!!

YeahBut · 03/01/2008 11:53

This programme was very unsettling. OK, I daresay there are collectors out there that buy these things because they like to collect realistic looking dolls. The two ladies followed on this programme had serious problems, though.
DH spent the whole hour trying desperately trying to leave the room but finding himself unable to stop watching.

And we both nearly POSL at "It's a doll, numbnut!" One of the (very) few sane comments made during the whole programme!!!!

PeachyHasAFiggyPudInTheOven · 03/01/2008 11:56

I saw some of this

was truly scary and weird

Back away very slowly, looking unthreateningly at the ground. Like that footage of David Attenborough in Rwanda with the mountain gorillas. He's happy to humour the one that's got its hand on his head, but you can tell he's well aware that it could all go pear-shaped at any second.

Klaw · 03/01/2008 12:29

um... just looked at one on Ebay

it says: "his body has been filled with a combination of pollypellets , faux fleece and baby fat granuales making him cuddly to hold".

Baby fat? where do they get that from? Do they Liposuck a real baby?

DoubleBluff · 03/01/2008 13:15

C4 are prob making a doc right now about baby liposuction, for paople who think their babies are too fat to be perfect.
