Your most irritating Cbeebies programme

Love Cbeebies (not too often though, thank you), but some of their shows drive me mad. My most detested one of all times is 'Badger and Bodger', followed closely by 'Brum'. Come to think of it, there are quite a few more than annoy me but I'll stop here. Which ones do you hate?

Fimbles it is so boring

woodpops · 21/09/2004 13:37

I don't like the way Fimbles sing songs that we've never heard of to the tune of say row, row your boat IYKWIM

i hate the teletubbies, pingu, and that stupid blonde on tikkabilla.....grr...she makes me want to gauge my eyes out with a spoon

poppyh · 21/09/2004 15:21

Im with Luthertim, I hate that woman who tells stories on the teletubbies.Those poor children always look so confused as to why they have giant cups with nothing in them and an empty biscuit barrel.Scary Lady!
I love blue cow and balamory.
Also cant stand the fimbles, its on ALL the time!

misdee · 21/09/2004 15:23

i am so glad my kids are off cbeebies atm. they love tinypop, which means we get to have a dance about as well.

i hate zingalong or whatever its blinkin' called.

CathB · 21/09/2004 16:45

Definitely zingalong -scary zoe and her teeth as it is known in our house. Also Barnaby bear because he reminds me of my SIL. DH loathes the Tweenies with a passion and call them Bossy, stupid, whiney and gullible ...

Still, all infinitely preferable ti Max and Ruby and Little Bear on Nick Jr.

Love the shiny show, especially Dogsby!

butwhatdoiknow · 21/09/2004 16:53

My dd is too young for cbeebies really. But I think the little green thing on Storymakers is so cute thaat we watch it anyway.

It is how I imagine our dd will be when she can talk. ............... well not green obvioulsy!!!11

Usually like Come Outside, exept today's which was about sewage and poo!! it showed Auntie M flushing Pippin's poo down the toilet and then going down a sewer to see if she could follow it!! It really was mingin!

whizzz · 21/09/2004 18:46

Zingalong - totally dreadful
Tikkabilla - most annoying presenters !

We have now moved onto Nick Jr !(Can't stand Max & Ruby though !)

Miaou · 21/09/2004 18:48

Haven't read the whole thread but have to agree with Twigglett - big cook little cook is awful! My dds can't understand why I don't like it though

WideWebWitch · 21/09/2004 19:21

Whatever it's called with Justin and the bloody irritating and go-round-your-head-all-day yummy funny tummy song.

tamum · 21/09/2004 19:23

I was watching Big Cook Little Cook the other day with dd and she said sadly "Are they rude about this on mumsnet aswell?"

fabarooney · 21/09/2004 19:33

Moo-er, love Storymakers esp. Blue Cow and Byron. But, rather obviously, the Tweenies is the favourite in this house!

WideWebWitch · 21/09/2004 19:41

tamum, dp sings 'big cock little cock' round the house since I told him that's what someone on mumsnet calls it

tamum · 21/09/2004 20:04

She thinks you're all horrid about Sarah-Jane too!

motherinferior · 21/09/2004 20:13

DD1 likes Sarah Jane. The shame, the shame.

Chinchilla · 21/09/2004 20:17

DH like SJ...the shame the shame!

marthamoo · 21/09/2004 20:18

Zingalong. No real competition - it stands out above all others for sheer awfulness. That Carol Smillie wannabe cannot sing, the songs are pants, the kids all look demented, and it must have a budget of about 10p an episode..."let's gay oot an find some soounds...let's go to the SHOPPING CENTRE! [again and again and again and again]"

Bodger and Badger comes a close second...and did anyone mention Chucklevision.."to me to you, to me to you"...OH JUST DIE DAMN YOU!

Chinchilla · 21/09/2004 20:22

Zingalong definitely, but it is rarely on thank God. The Fimbles is gaining in the unpopularity stakes ever since Dizzy (oops sorry, Kate Harbour) took over the voice of Florrie. Why does every voice she does sound the same? Don't like Roly Mo either...ds loves the whole shebang though

yingers74 · 21/09/2004 20:39

fimbles - not really sure why! don't think it is as good as the others

unicorn · 21/09/2004 20:48

marthamoo ..
I always reckoned whatsername with the godamawful voice (zingalong) must have been related to the producer/editor/director/or controller of bbc Scotland..
ffs.. there are plenty of people out there who can sing... and do really like (?)kids!!!!!

serenequeen · 21/09/2004 20:56

www, hahaha, you mean tikkabilla! know exactly what you mean about the song, it rhymes with dd's name so i have made a song up for her with the same tune...

serenequeen · 21/09/2004 20:57

i can't stand balamory, but my real hates are "bits and bobs" and "fab lab" - utter, utter garbage both of them.

marthamoo · 21/09/2004 20:59

Oh yes - Bits and Bobs too.

"If I don't know and you don't know..."
"And you don't know and I don't know..."

Well, why don't you just F off and find someone who does know?!
