As my name suggests, I am a Ben & Holly fan, I like Mrs Elf but Nanny Plum is my fav. Is she the best? Any other contenders out there??

Pippi Longstocking

that's it, no discussion

IamMrsElf · 03/05/2013 15:54

I loved Bagpuss as a little one, then Postman Pat (now realise his nose is very questionable) then Roland Rat - all good candidates.

Pippi Longstocking - I must have missed that - clearly need to check that out

Windy Miller - doing freerange eggs and cycling over car use since 1966 and the only children's TV character allowed to get pi$$ed on scrumpy and fall asleep whilst on screen

Zippy from Rainbow. Absolute riot he was!

fuzzpig · 03/05/2013 15:56

TopCat, Hong Kong Phooey, Dangermouse, Penfold?!

Cosmo from Fairly Odd Parents gets my vote though!

fuzzpig · 03/05/2013 16:01

Actually no - I suggest The Big Knights (in particular Sir Doris the hamster!)

VerySmallSqueak · 03/05/2013 16:03

Mr Benn.

RebeccaMumsnet · 03/05/2013 16:19

Mrs Rabbit from Peppa Pig

lurcherlover · 03/05/2013 16:22

Treguard from Knightmare. "Oooh, nasty...

IamMrsElf · 03/05/2013 16:45

Also....Worst Children's TV Character?

I'm not thinking mean. I'm thinking more annoying, irritating, please stop watching this program now.

DH hates the whole of Bubble Guppies - what is that all about??

Just looked up Treguard on youtube - had totally forgotten about that one - great trip down memory lane :)

Mist the Sheepdog tails on Channel 5 - really hideous and awful - had to look it up to remind myself just how bad it was, before announcing that I hate it.

Spongebob, Count Duckula and Penfold.

IamMrsElf · 03/05/2013 17:10

Hector from Hectors House.

IamMrsElf · 03/05/2013 17:25

Mr Spoon from button moon.

Or fingermouse.

I currently hate the Ha Ha Hairies, wtaf is that all about?!

MrsMaryCooper · 03/05/2013 17:33

Clangers. All of them.

orangeandemons · 03/05/2013 17:39

Nah the Soup Dragon was the best thing on the Clangers. Mind the Froglets and the Singingringing tree were pretty cool too.

IamMrsElf · 03/05/2013 17:45

Just looked up Ha Ha Hairies - I second that statement - WTAF?

I was going to say Hector from hector's house too orangeandemons! I have him as a stuffed toy in my bed.

Worst would be the Numbertaker from numberjacks. Absolutely terrifying.

Morph

Yama · 03/05/2013 18:03

I love Hacker. Or maybe it's Iain I enjoy. Confused.

sassytheFIRST · 03/05/2013 18:04

Best - Skeleton from Superted -"ooh, Tex, you're sooo

Worst - wizbit. Without a doubt.

VerySmallSqueak · 03/05/2013 18:17

Oh I've just remembered how much I loved the Wonder Pets when mine used to watch them.

Dora the Explorer is a PITA.Always bloody repeating stuff.
