Isn't it just Balamory but moved to a slightly different situation?
Weird

WE should start a protest to bring back Balamory. My dh watched Me Too! for the first time this morning and couldnt believe what tripe it all was.
Just on a PC Plumb note surely he is batting for the other side dont you think?

oh without a doubt.....and that OTT operatic-style singing just does my head in!!!

josieyou · 15/09/2006 10:02

It turns out that Plummie actually directs 'Me Too'!

bunny75 · 15/09/2006 12:05

no way!! well, kinda explains a few things then....the whole thing is rather camp and ott!

bubblerock · 15/09/2006 12:17

I HATE this programme and all of the adverts for it with the boy talking through his nose - arghhhhh.... I really do not like change. DS1 is also upset because they moved Yu Gi Oh on cbbc to 9am, he used to be allowed to watch it at 8am when he was ready for school.

niceglasses · 15/09/2006 12:23

I thought it was Edinburgh........my kids love it btw.

yorkshirepud · 15/09/2006 14:17

Is 'me too' taking the michael? Today's was all about what fun children could have in hospital. And the kids keep changing throughout the day. V confusing. Re: Spencer. I see him as too independent/free spirit to become attached, although he may have a soft spot for Penny Pocket. I've noticed that the same writers crop up on both progs. Oh Plummie. How could you do this to us? Did Miss Hoolie break your heart?

bunny75 · 15/09/2006 15:42

actually now you mention it...yes, the Penny/Spencer thing did seem to be apparent on a few occasions...and as for 'Plummers', wot a traitor!

kamsmum · 17/09/2006 01:35

My sister went to school with granny Murray. she's 36. Apparently she always looked exactly the same - even in primary school. And always had a tendency to overact.

Miss Hoolie's man is Greg Hemphill from Chewin' the Fat etc. Is he really in it too?

I also find it really annoying how they have taken bits of lots of cities and squished it together - but I suppose the kids don't mind.

Although, my DD who loves Balamory, asks for Nick Jr when this comes on!!

Macdog · 10/10/2006 20:38

Struck me today that Riverseafingal is populated entirely by single parent families!!
Has Granny Murray been on a killing spree to drum up a bit of business???
Why does she have a pilot's outfit just lying around??
Why do the children keep changing throughout the day???
Never mind dd, i wouldn't leave the dog with her!!!

Furball · 10/10/2006 20:48

kamsmam - I think bobsman meant greg hemphill was in still game with isa

housemum · 10/10/2006 20:59

Granny Murray - too creepy for words - does her scarf collection hide a massive lovebite or where Dr Frankenstein stitched her head on?? You watch, she's never seen without a scarf...

housemum · 10/10/2006 21:01

And please don't think I'm belittling the work that people with disabilities can do, but how the hell can a blind person run a stall on his own? Is there no such thing as theft in Riverseafingle? I'm all for including every cross-section of religion/skintone/ability/whatever but please keep some reality - don't treat kids as idiots. Show him as a capable man doing the things he really can do.

As for the geography - as well as the Gherkin and Gateshead I saw it today and it seems to encompass Manchester as well as the buses were going to Altrincham and Piccadilly. Is Riverseafingle the biggest conurbation ever as it seems to encompass most of the UK?

MrsFish · 10/10/2006 21:08

I'm glad I am not the only one who prefers Balamory (never thought I would say that)

Granny Murray is just wrong, and the others characters are just as bad, but ds seems to enjoy it, especially the music at the start.

nulnulcat · 10/10/2006 21:11

dd bloody loves it and i think it is the biggest pile of poo ever! and im allowed to say this as my mum is blind and she said it! how on earth can a blind man run a fruit and veg stall? apart from the theft thing but would people get what they asked for?

Olihan · 10/10/2006 21:14

Oh god, ds absolutely loves this tosh, and runs round everywhere singing the 'I'm on my way, to work today' song. I also have to be Bobby's son (Kai?), or Mickey John or Dr Juno's dog while he's Raymond all the bloody time .

BTW, Tina and Raymond are together/ married and have Lisa. They were having a little domestic today over the state of the garage where Tina keeps the taxi.

Granny Murray scares the lving heebeejeebies out of me, definitely psychotic as someone else said!!

Emskilou · 10/10/2006 21:18

Its awful, so much more annoying than balamory, especially nanny murrays tip of the day, why does she have to screw her face up like a cats arse to say it? my dd loves it and dances to the songs

Macdog · 10/10/2006 21:52

Did anyone else notice that during a scene in the pink taxi song, the picture appears reversed?
the taxi comes round a corner driving on the right hand side of the road, as is the rest of the traffic!!!
Maybe normal traffic rules don't apply?

pookey · 10/10/2006 21:54

Why couldnt a blind man run a fruit and veg stall he would just have to stick to the same lay out - sorry was that a joke, I get confused It is a rubbish programme

nulnulcat · 10/10/2006 22:17

pookey probably coz there are kids around like me and my brothers and sisters who think its funny to move stuff around and confuse things!!!

vitomum · 10/10/2006 22:21

i am in glasgow and recognise scenes from glasgow anmd edninburgh in it too. I actually thought it was some totally duff regional beebies that was only being inflicted on us scots. how horrifc that the youth of the nation are being subjected to it (ds loves it btw)

ilovecaboose · 10/10/2006 22:32

why is it that this stupid programme is on at the times of day that we (meaning me and ds) watch telly (and heaven forbid we should watch anything else - twould be acommpianed by yells of 'beebies, beebies' and if still not changed 'telly broken').

That woman does not get any less annoying the more you watch of it does she.

And could they not have employed actors that could all sing. As it is one of the main things they do on the bloody show.

Peggotty · 10/10/2006 22:37

THe kids on it all look traumatised to me. Totally terrified of their 'parents' and Granny Nutter.

ilovecaboose · 10/10/2006 22:40

yeah - except for Rudy's son, they all look permanently traumatised, and no wonder for those who are 'main characters' they keep disappearing - I'd be freaked. Imagine you are playing at creepy childminders and apart from one child, whose parent actually exists and who the whole day is built around, the other children disappear after an hour or so. It is never mentioned. You worry if it is going to be you next. Where do they go? Does claude have anything to do with it?

V. creepy
