Peppa Pig

A while since we updated you on our family viewing habits, so here we go. At the moment we are mostly watching Peppa Pig. DTE had tried it a while back, but it wasn't holding her attention. Now that she's old enough to get the jokes though, it's becoming a firm favourite. DTY even has a Peppa Pig Swimming Cossie and has developed a real obsession with George. Daddy enjoys Peppa Pig too - like all the best kids TV shows, there's enough grown-up humour there for the parents.

Can't say we didn't see it coming - after a year, the Green Balloon Club kids have hit the dole queue, and Cbeebies has ruthlessly started running the show from the start again. The old episodes are the best though - back when none of them could act (not that they improved much, except for our favourite, Cat) and "responsible adult" Sky was treated like a Galley Slave peddling away in the background and rarely spoke.

Innuendo Afoot on CBeebies (Again)

Just before yesterday afternoon's episode of Green Balloon Club (watched this morning on good-old Sky Plus by DTE and I) the introduction scene featured Sid lying on the ground playing with his snake. It was the best innuendo piece on CBeebies since the last run of Something Special, with Justin lurking around in the woods/changing rooms/etc.

Top stuff!
