OMG!

I know it's educational but please - 'can you see your poo Pippin?' - it beggars belief!

Hardly appropriate lunchtime viewing!

Don't forget, if you can't watch Aunty Mabel on the TV, you can always play her little games on here

I find the phrase "good girl, Pippin!" gives it away . I have to say I always assumed she was a he before I heard that though. I haven't seen it for ages! DSs graduated onto Nick Jnr and FOx Kids.

Dh says of course it's Aunty Mabel flying the plane. She was famed for flying Spitfires in the last war and also bombed numerous fruit and vegetable factories. Sadly, they were British ones, hence the 'Dig For Victory' campaign.

saddo that I am, I deliberately sat down to watch "Come Outside" without dd this afternoon and it was the "holes" one mentioned below! Aunty Mabel pulled that cupboard door shut behind her, stupid cow, and could easily have undone that latch by slipping something thin between the door and the frame. (Surely if she can fit a dog-flap herself, she could work out how to get out of a cupboard!). And why, Oh why, did Pippin run allthe way to the Fire Station to get help, rather than barking at the nearest neighbour, and HOW did the firemen know where to go- had they been there before?

I think we should be told

I do have a preference for number 3 (the poo et al) but feel that may be a popular choice, number 1 would be my second choice.

I saw the poo episode whilst chomping on toast and had to turn over. I want to know how she managed to bypass health and safety rules and go down in the tunnel. Also I want to know what the guy at the bottom of the ladder was thinking. I couldn't make up my mind if he was dying to laugh or contemplating suicide if any of his mates saw him handling Auntie Mable.

I also remember the series with the boy that turned into the dog at really odd moments and his friend having to follow him round with a change of clothes. What was it calle???

Remember that one as well Flip but can't remember what it was called, was Supergran not on about the same time?
