something special dvd

[isw]

think i am going to have to give in and buy some mr tumble, but they aren´t cheap! Can anyone recomend which one is better and where to get a good deal, so far I can only find amazon and bbc shop. thanks

I've got "Let's sing Nursery Rhymes" with Justin - not Mr Tumble but Justin in lots of different guises. It has BSL on it if you choose.

Dug it out to find details to post here and DD is now watching it!!

(If you're a member of Lovefilm you can choose it as one of your dvd's btw).

HTH

the newest one, the out and about one is meant to be cheaper, Something Special out and about is 8.99 on www.hmv.com.

Its sad that I am so excited about the new one. Have it on preorder.

Keep an eye on ebay - I got a few quid off for a brand new there. Also some cheaper new ones do pop up on amazon sellers.

Mr Tumble has made it to youtube if thats any use

For good episodes - Our fave is the Out and About one with the green frame. (very confusing - the new one has a blue background, the old one of the same title has a green frame and white background. Completely different episodes). It has a great episode on school if thats relevant for you and transport.

DS responded so well to the "Something Special" magazine with doll (thanks again to the lovely person who posted about that!) that I'm going to get a few too.

£8.99 sounds much more reasonable, have pre-ordered it

The school is my son's favourite episode Leaving! Always asks for 'Nor splashing' if he is ill and camped out on the sofa.

DS2's favourite is 'Pets and Other Animals'. Funny as he takes bugger all notice of animals in real life

The webchat with Justin Fletcher makes a great read here. Lovely stories from posters and lovely bloke (plus a few marriage proposals)

Thank you - missed that (and the chance to propose )

My DS loves the one with the mountain, and Mr Tumble trying to find water to float his duck on! Forest Bookshop, (I think forestbooks.com?) has other signed DVDs not Mr Tumble though, have been reminded of this as DS has just signed 'music music' so he could watch the Dave Benson Philips Nursery Rhymes DVD, (Makaton.)

Have found Forest a good resource for all things 'signy'

Oh I love the one about the duck going for a swim up the mountain

Does anyone know if the episode where he goes to Chessington is on a DVD? We went the other week and it really inspired DS to "talk" about the day with us. He looks at the map and our photo-book all the time.

Thanks so much for your replies. Have ordered a couple (Out and About and the Animal ones). Its a nightmare at bedtime at the moment because our internet is broken so we can´t watch 2 tumbles on iplayer or youtube before bed

isw - we have Mr Tumble before bed too both girls are completely in love with him!

Milady - I do have the chessington one on dvd (recorded off tv) somewhere. we usedot live around thecorner from chessington, andsoI recorded it specially to get dd1 interested in going. she loved it there, and we have annual passes now (although now live a bit further away!)

HAve just moved house, but if whenI find it, will happily run you a copy off if you want.

silverfrog I now have the box set up to record all of them after seeing the prices on Amazon but may take you up on the offer one day if you don't mind. My enter key is stuck hence lack of spacing!

I'll let you know if I ever find it

we, sadly, do not have a sky box able to record

All 6 Something Special DVDs are now reduced to £12.99 each on the Makaton website!

BLimey, how brilliant

Can't see that it's a sale - wonder if Justin put in a word for us after the webchat

awww that would be nice if he did!

Oooooh thanks so much glittery, have now ordered the ones we didn't have Already have the new one on preorder so dd3 will be over the moon Would love to think it was Justins work.

Wouldn't that be great?

Cheers glittery, as chance would have it the DLA is in today

Thanks for this - have ordered ones we don't have (only two luckily!). I wonder if MN Towers could find out if Justin had anything to do with the proce drop? Seems a bit of a coincidence if not. Would be good to do a MN thank you! (I heart Justin)
