much as i hate the programe- it's amazing what kids learn from it. DS is obsessed by street lamps, after seeing how they work. And i have a fondness for the one where she goes to a pottery to make a brown teapot! The randomness of the subject matter has always tickled me. (like visiting the dry cleaners, or soap factories).
Aunty Mabels songs are all the same tune, with different words...
And i still can't help but think of 'Open all hours' when i see it
