Someone tell me the truth about Josie Jump(Balamory)!!

[spursmum]

I was talking with my blokey the other day about Balamory and how annoying it is when the theme tune gets stuck in your head!!!
He told me that some friends of his went to see the village that is used as the setting when one of their children asked why the original Josie Jump left.
The miserable old bloke they asked turned round and said "How many times do I have to tell people that she's dead"!!!
Someone please tell me that he's trying to make an idiot out of me and that this story is not true!!!

Is it me or has anyone else noticed that there is never any mention of parents ie 'mum & dad' on Cbeebies?

Actually I am going to start a thread on it!
