    Do you mean 'Woolly and Tig'? I love that programme, I thinks it's really sweet. If everyone comes on here and says they also can't stand it I'm going to start worrying that there is something wrong with me!

    Each to their own...............

    I'm still trying to work out the parents. Last time I looked, her "Daddy" was a copper on Taggart, and he had a boyfriend. Now he seems to have settled down to raise a family.

    I wonder if/when "Mammy" is going to take Tig aside and have a little chat that the man she calls "Daddy".................er...............isn't.... ...

    Maybe he went to Mrs Rabbit's (from Peppa Pig/Pippa Peg) school of multi-tasking.

    I'm very handy with scissors, well on boys' hair anyway. I would like to trim 'Melody's' fringe.

    I don't think I ever saw Button Moon on the TV but had the videos and used to love going to watch live shows at our local theatre.

    Wish they would bring back Rosie & Jim too.

    it's not so much the annoying whining bunny that gets to me about Bing - it's the fact that the giant 'child' animals are looked after by tiny sensible adult figure knitted creatures! what on earth is that about?

    Now I'm intrigued. I'm going to have to tune in next week.

    Part of the music during Bing is the same ringtone as one of the alarms on my mobile and it drives me nuts.

    I got a Bing episode off on demand the other day for a mindee who loves it, I've never watched it and she was shattered and needed a 10 minute chill out after lunch.
    It came on and I was thinking they're not even speaking properly, after 5 minutes of the mindee translating as she'd obviously watched it a million times I googled what language it's in, turned out I'd downloaded the Welsh version which is why it made no sense to me! Got one in English, wasn't that much more impressed but at least we could understand the language, I can't believe we watched so much of it without me twigging (in my defence I was writing daily diaries at the time!)

    I love that programme, too. I always suspected it was a Daddy and daughter show, so I Googled the cast and was chuffed to discover the Tig's Daddy really is the guy in the show. It's even voiced by her big sister, so thumbs up for being authentic in my book.

    If you're interested (and sad like me), here's a link to save anyone Googling it...

    PS: I cannot stand Mr Tumble and his other omnipresent shows. I know I've said it before, but have you ever noticed he never has the same friends on twice? (Phoney 'tig'.)

    I like Bing - I record it (kids don't watch it) as I fancy the male childminders voice artist (is his name flop ? I don't know I am just thinking about the actor..... Look him up)

    Haha,I looked it up! It reminds me of another programme where the majority of the cast is related - Mrs Brown's Boys. Not one to watch with the mindees though!
