What do you all think of her? Not seen a lot of her yet so not formed any opinion.

OP posts:
theliverpoolone · 21/01/2013 17:34

I think she seems good. Natural, smiley. A million times better than Katie, so hope she's replacing her on the links with Sid etc.

AppleOgies · 21/01/2013 17:37

What's her name? DS keeps asking me and I don't know.

She seems okay...

BunnyLebowski · 21/01/2013 17:42

Her name is Cat and she used to be in Hi 5. Took me ages to figure out where I knew her from.

Not fussed tbh. Just another gurning stage school type

JollyRedGiant · 21/01/2013 17:46

DH doesn't like her. He reckons she's an interloper and wondered why she dared to interrupt our viewing.

I think he's a little too emotionally involved with cbeebies for a grown adult.

AppleOgies · 21/01/2013 17:46

Cat... Right! Must remember for next time DS asks.

She seems to be in the 'trying hard' stage but I do like her. I quite like Katie too though (and I know most MNers don't)... Sid, Andy, Kerry and Alex will always remain my favourites, I hope none of them are leaving.

InkleWinkle · 21/01/2013 18:05

Hi 5!! That's where I know her from! I also think she's trying too hard but we're probably all guilty of that when we start a new job Smile

Mamf74 · 22/01/2013 10:38

According to the Cbeebies blog Sid's off in March so I'm assuming Cat is his replacement Sad.

I am also way too involved though, when I saw they had a new person starting I actually panicked in case Alex was leaving!

pictish · 22/01/2013 10:40

Sid is leaving?? NOOOOOO!!!!!

Haven't seent the new one yet.

PartTimeModel · 22/01/2013 10:41

SID's LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!! Sob!

Bout time there were some fresh faces. It's been the same crew ever since DD1 has been watching Cbeebeeies (now 5). But Sid is our fav ...

pictish · 22/01/2013 10:43

I like Alex's face very much. I don't fancy him, but I love his sparkly eyes and gentle manner, and think he's an excellent choice for kids tv. Awwwww!!

theliverpoolone · 22/01/2013 12:59

Sid was on Celebrity Mastermind over Christmas - must be looking for ways to branch out from CBeebies.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 22/01/2013 13:03

I`m glad Sids leaving, hope he manages to make a career in mainstream (if thats what he wants to do), I think hes rather lovely Smile

Cherrypie32 · 22/01/2013 20:54

Sid's touring his own kids show in theatres this year. I like the girl who is in that show they do together 'Let's Play' or something? On about 2.30 when I am usually sleeping watching with DD.

wewereherefirst · 22/01/2013 21:00

I love Sid, he's great! Sad he's leaving, but I don't watch cBeebies now, but DH wants to check the new presenter out Hmm

GwendolineMaryLacey · 22/01/2013 21:02

Noooooooooooo! Sid, you can't leave us!

PartTimeModel · 22/01/2013 22:31

On the bright side, maybe we will see more of Sid on grown up TV. Wink

CaseyShraeger · 23/01/2013 15:08

She's doing pretty well -- most of them were HORRIBLY wooden at first and took a couple of months to settle down, while she's already sounding quite natural (if just a little hyper). But whatever will we do without Sid? Shock

Cherrypie32, yes, Rebecca -- I hope we see more of her.

CaseyShraeger · 23/01/2013 15:09

(Random fact: Sid's name is actually Gary (I think; it's something beginning with a G that isn't anything like Sid, anyway))

DawnOfTheDee · 23/01/2013 15:11

Andy = the 'ice truck killer' from Dexter series 1.

MrsGeologist · 23/01/2013 15:17

Katy grew on me eventually. I like her a lot now, and wish she was on a bit more.

I'm glad I've not seen Neesha in a while, she was irritating.

Cat seems very nice so far :)

MrsGeologist · 23/01/2013 15:17

Andy = Fatima Whitbread

DawnOfTheDee · 23/01/2013 15:25

oh my god you're right MrsGeologist!

Ok, I will amend my post to....

Andy = love child of Fatima Whitbread & the ice truck killer from Dexter

Grin

WTF???
Shock

CaseyShraeger · 23/01/2013 16:16

It's true...

trikken · 23/01/2013 16:21

I still like chris and pui ( sp?) best tho.
