Which children's programme could you happily do without?

Mine is "The Shiny Show". It's cheap and nasty and my ds can't be bothered either.

Closely followed by the over computerised graphics on Noddy (and every other show they do) that Channel 5 seem to have gone for.

Bring back Bagpuss and Mr Ben I sayGrin

Always hated Bodger and Badger but it doesn't seem to be around to hate anymore.

Love Come Outside, especially the Poo one, which is legendary in schools apparently!

spacedonkey · 12/12/2004 22:35

HOW CAN YOU HATE BODGER AND BADGER BGD?

I've never seen such a realistic glove puppet. And his amusing antics involving mashed potato frequently caused incontinence in my household

BigGayDad · 12/12/2004 22:37

Low irritation factor at certain times of the day. Seemed to coincide with Bodger and Badger!!

YORK · 12/12/2004 22:38

I love the poo come outside GrinGrinGrin I laughed all day after watching that!

spacedonkey · 12/12/2004 22:38

Next you'll be suggesting the Chuckle Brothers should be banished as well!

moondog · 12/12/2004 22:39

All of them. Manic shite.
To my eternal shame (or is that pride?) I have never sat down with dd and seen a whole one through (not even on video)

spacedonkey · 12/12/2004 22:46

snort moondog Grin

The flippin' Tweenies. God I hate them all, snotty goody two shoes that they are.

(I know that's a bit extreme. But I HATE IT!!!!!)

sugaralmond · 12/12/2004 22:58

SPONGE SQUARE PANTS - more for the 6-9 year olds - can't see what they find so funny!!!!!!!!!!!

PocketTinsel · 12/12/2004 23:17

where do i start!
Probably with the TellyTubbies. Pointless annoying badly put together show in my book. The Wiggles really make my blood boil (I recently started a thread and found out that i was alone in this!) And thankfully he isn't around anymore, but Barney the dinosaur... Kick him kick him kick him.

moondog · 12/12/2004 23:18

Yup, Barney's an utter twat...

MarsselectionboxLady · 12/12/2004 23:30

I hate Bodger and Badger as well. I'm with you BigGayDad. Utter tripe!!!!!!!!!!!!!

xmashampermunker · 12/12/2004 23:34

Wordsmith, totally with you on the Tweenies. Moronic bigheaded squeaky-voiced fools. It's going to be DS's favourite programme isn't it?

mikeyjon · 12/12/2004 23:40

i hate the boobars (sp?) but i love the tweenies and balamory. whats the point of the boobars?

jasper · 13/12/2004 00:02

I HATE THE TWEENIES. KILL JAKE Angry

jasper · 13/12/2004 00:04

Sorry I'm on a roll.
Sara Jane gives me the willies.
That coquettish little girl thing freaks me out big time.Can't stand Felicity Kendal for the same reason

Sure she is a lovley person in real life

80sMum · 13/12/2004 00:15

I can't abide the Tweenies. I find them rather grotesque and their voices are so irritating.

mikeyjon · 13/12/2004 00:48

i quite like the tweenies, at least they talk properly unlike the teletubbies!

jasper - i dont think it should be jake that gets the boot, bella is such as bossy cow - she reminds me of my niece Grin how irritating!!!!!

colditzcolditzcold · 13/12/2004 00:49

Big cook, little cook.

Its unnatural for anyone to get excited at the prospect of washing up - they must be on something.

PocketTinsel · 13/12/2004 12:03

I've got to say that although the Tweenies are a bit annoying, the cover the six learning goals for preschool education...(She say's, making herself look nobby for a peice of trivia Sad). so i've kind of warmed to them for that reason, i find it quite clever the way they have done it too. (Please don't beat me up! Grin). One that ds hates is Angelina Balerina! Every time it comes on he shouts "No Mummy no, not Angelina! Turn it off!"

5goldendillydallys · 13/12/2004 12:06

Becky and barnaby bear
but it could be I am just a bit bitter that the girls name is not actually Becky and she has been lying to us all.

Slink · 13/12/2004 12:09

Teletubbies, tweenies, shinny show, come outside, story makers dd hates them all she now watcjes scooby doo and tom and jerry and love tiny pops (just the music time)

Bigfatmomma · 13/12/2004 12:39

Why has no one mentioned the modern Andy Pandy? Bizarre, sexist tripe. I really hate the fact that I find myself whistling the theme tune afterwards - grrrrrr! Can't believe they replaced the fabulous "64 Zoo Lane" with it!! Barbarians!

Prettybird · 13/12/2004 12:39

Blue Cow. Hate it, Hate it.

Prettybird · 13/12/2004 12:40

Actaully you're right Bigfatmomma - the modern Andy Pany is AWFUL. Even worse than the modern Bill and Ben.
