What on earth has happened? Pingu used to be reliable - in a strange language that you just about think you can understand, very funny, etc.

Now it's The Pingu Show, with a crappy English voiceover and some odd middle segment with made up facts about penguins and a snow whale with doors in it wtf?

Grumble grumble things ain't what they used to be grumble grumble.

will hold onto old videos then in case they become valuable old Pingu antique versions!

The stories are still the same, but they have this weird English intro voiceover thing. It's odd.

Most disappointed.

If you've got the video where Pingu and his seal friend swap fish for booze and get rat-arsed, it's worth a blardy fortune!

In a similar vein, am I the last person to discover the Postman Pat theme has changed?

It's not right.

I want to know when Postman Pat got married and spawned a sprog called "Julian"!

oh no

'tis wrong. it's not as wrong as Disney deciding to axe Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh and replace him with a GIRL, but it's not far off.

I am so glad dts are too old to watch Cbeebies now if they have dared to muck around with Pingu! I loved it, never mind them - but the old quirky music.

Perhaps they think kids are too stupid to figure out what is happening without being hand-held through a story.
