wtf is it about ?! We caught an episode before DSD this morning , kids are really too old for CBeebies so it has (fortuitously) passed us by until now. What planet (or drugs) are the "writers" on ? It is curiously hypnotic though ....

It is the farty thing, and he thinks it is hilarious. Do boys ever grow out of thinking farting and farty noises are funny?

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:23

No they don't

Granny Murray reminds me of one of the early Dr. Who characters who ripped off their head and turned out to be a scary worm monster.

Dd's scared of that horrible dummy in her lounge. I wonder what she gets up to with it when the kids have gone home ... All those dressing up costumes

The evil child minder in "Me Too".

the children she is with at the beginning of the show mysteriously vanish after the first 5 minutes...You never see them again, they're simply replaced by others.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:24

It worries me that she child minds a dog as well as the children, ofsted would not approve...

imaginaryfriend · 26/07/2007 22:24

She feeds them to the dummy I think?

imaginaryfriend · 26/07/2007 22:24

That's why she calls them all 'honeypie' - it's the dummy's favourite food.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:24

And have you noticed she always wears the same outfit?

imaginaryfriend · 26/07/2007 22:25

The dummy loves her in that outfit.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:25

My ds always pipes up bye bye pie at the end.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:26

I have actually never seen a dummy like that ever before, are you saying it's not a real dummy?

MrsScavo · 26/07/2007 22:26

A friend of mine is impresed that Granny Murray childminds over night.

How much per hour do you think she charges for the dog, and is food included?

GColdtimer · 26/07/2007 22:27

Mmm, even the programme descriptions sounds a bit scary. If it is a different adult and child every day, where do they all go?

"Granny Murray is warm and welcoming --opening the door of her basement flat in Tattiemoon Lane to a different adult with their pre -school child at the beginning of every episode."

SoupDragon · 26/07/2007 22:27

It is not a dummy, it's a Punished Child.

MrsScavo · 26/07/2007 22:27

you are only alowed to own one outfit if you live in Scotland. Think of Balamory.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:28

And her mysterious words of wisdom to the parent as they leave their child eerily come to pass later in the programme, maybe she is a witch then?

imaginaryfriend · 26/07/2007 22:29

It must've eaten a heck of a lot of honeypie if that's a child.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:29

Suzy Sweet now there's someone who boils small children up for soup in the cafe!

imaginaryfriend · 26/07/2007 22:30

The 'dummy' has a lot of outfits though ...

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:31

My dh thinks PC Plum and Archie are special friends.

MrsScavo · 26/07/2007 22:35

Well could someone please tell Miss Hooley. I'm fed up of her creaming her pants over Plummy, who does his best to avoid her.

Loobeeloo · 26/07/2007 22:35

Do you think her first name is Julie?

MrsScavo · 26/07/2007 22:36

I can't believe I jsut posted that

MrsScavo · 26/07/2007 22:36

Er well, Id always presumed it was.

ChorusLine · 26/07/2007 22:39
