Prog on Ch4 at 10 tonight about those scary Reborn dolls and the women who make them

[NomDePlume]

Have Sky+'d it

Very, very spooky. Especially the name. The Tommy Ebay link has the header "Reborn Tommy, Absolutely to die for!!!" Tad inappropriate somehow?!

I don't have sky but in the Guardian preview I read, one woman took hers to the park in a pram !

Indeed. Surely if you want to brighten a dark corner, you buy a LAMP, not a small faceless cowering child! lol

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg! Just clicked on that shykids link and can't stop shuddering!

Although, did LOL at the promotional blurb: "Stand one in the corner of a room, against a couch, on the porch or anywhere you like and watch the reaction of your guests"

I wonder what that reaction might be, now? Shock? Horror? Dry heaving and wild-eyed surreptitious search for the nearest exit?

Oh, the name is stupid, they aren't so much reborn as embellished. But I suppose "artist embellished dolls" isn't as catchy.

Ooh, shhhhh, it's on.

I've just started watching this and I'm having to switch off.

I think they look like dead babies.

It's freaking me out.

FREAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol, loved the scary music at the beginning of the documentary. I can see where this is going.

Oh god I swore I wouldnt watch it, its like the worst horror film ive ever seen am watching through my fingers gasping!!!

OMG have just seen them on the telly

Think I might buy one to put in the car, so I can get into the parent and toddler car parking spaces at Tescos LOL!!!

My mum makes these - she has loads of them all over the house - they are really freaky. She wants to give one to our DDs . She has also named one after my DD1 ....don't like them however much people pay for them on ebay

she's pushing a doll in a pram.

uh huh.

in public.

and there's a bloke with her.

Me too -
it is very very weird... especially for those women who don't have children (why does that make it worse? Could it BE any worse?!)

sue has four babies and is expecting another!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF!!!!!

I need to turn it off

me too - swore wouldn't watch - this thread moves too fast!

I'm feeling slightly sick at this woman.

i'm sorry, but if someone showed up in the playground pushing a doll in a pram i'd take them for a nut job.

OMG! that one had pierced ears! That deserves a thread of it's own surely!

SHE'S PIERCED IT'S EARS.

disclaimer - my mother is mad but she doesn't push hers around in a pram or cradle it in her arms etc, she just makes them...glad I'm not watching - sounds freaky

if she had fiyr real babies her nails would not look like that!!

what is wrong with that woman, she definately needs help and I mean that in the nicest way

sorry 'four' babies

Wow.... she's rather special, isn't she? knitting toys and going to america for her next "baby"....

Fake formula for her reborn too. Hmm. Should we judge her as she hasn't even tried to breastfeed????

Fabric conditioner!!!!!
