unixman_again Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 BBC’s CBeebies orders 60 new Teletubbies episodes Of course, it would be better if it was 60 new eps of Horrible Histories...
elsiegee40 Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 I would far prefer Teletubbies to In the night garden. The latter is responsible for serious brain washing of under 5s!
synaesthesia Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 Ugh, hate this program. I much prefer the Peppa Pigs and Ben & Holly. Mostly because there's quite a lot of slightly more adult humour embedded in there and a great level of sarcasm. Plus Brian Blessed. 1

Love watching Ben and Holly's little kingdom with my kids, great sense of humour by the writers, just look who is the mayor of the little kingdom... Edited June 16, 2014 by PICNIC
laserblazer Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Apparently Horrible Histories ran out of historical events! We went to a live, open air show at Chatsworth last year.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 In the night garden is fantastic! I don't know what kind of hypnosis it uses, but it has my 2 year old falling asleep in minutes (and me and the wife too most nights). Teletubbies? Bah!
sonofsanta Posted June 16, 2014 Posted June 16, 2014 Horrible Histories is one of the best programs on telly full stop, childrens' or otherwise. Peppa Pig is ace, likewise Little Princess, which my wife thinks is the perfect metaphor for government in general. Lots of supposed grown ups running round arguing and getting nothing done.
6Foot2 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Link: Teletubbies voices revealed for new series - BBC News ...Absolutely Fabulous star Horrocks will voice the "tubby phone" - a mobile-style gadget aimed at bringing the revamped show into the modern day. Actor Broadbent and former BBC Radio 1 DJ Cotton will also be heard coming through voice trumpets which pop out of the ground. The series is due to air on CBeebies later this year....
network41 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Bring back Captain Pugwash , thats what I call quality
6Foot2 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Bring back Captain Pugwash , thats what I call quality That's what I call a can of worms: Ivor The Engine Bagpuss Noggin The Nog The Clangers [All Oliver Postgate/Smallfilms productions I know but they are the examples that come to mind at the moment] There will be others....
sparkeh Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 The original creator is a bit sad about it: Teletubbies creator 'sad' about show's remake - BBC News I can see her point.
LeMarchand Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Of course, it would be better if it was 60 new eps of Horrible Histories... There's always "Bill" (apparently pushed back to August now). and "Yonderland" has allegedly got a second season. For those who missed the first, it looks like they're all on YouTube.
Nibiru Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 That's what I call a can of worms: Ivor The Engine Bagpuss Noggin The Nog The Clangers [All Oliver Postgate/Smallfilms productions I know but they are the examples that come to mind at the moment] There will be others.... A lot of early kids tv programming is currently being aired on the "Watch with Granny" slot on new local tv service Big Centre TV (Birmingham) atm - including B&W Ivor The Engine, The Seal Of Neptune, The Mermaids Pearls etc Home - Big Centre TV - local TV for the West Midlands Some also available on the BCTV catchup link If you get asked for an email just put anything in - its not verified in any way.
mrbios Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 In the night garden is fantastic! I don't know what kind of hypnosis it uses, but it has my 2 year old falling asleep in minutes (and me and the wife too most nights). Wonderful if you doze off to it, but if we wake up in a daze to that in the background you spend a few seconds thinking you're tripping! Got my son watching tom and jerry lately, he also likes the cartoon version of mr bean, my favorite is curious george though. Albeit he is 4 now, he did used to watch in the night garden, peppa pig, ben and holly etc. but i think he's got bored or grown past them now....thankfully!

It looks like Noddy is back - and this time, he's a detective: Noddy, Toyland Detective: DreamWorks to reboot character for new TV series - TV News - Digital Spy Presumably his first case will be finding out what happened to PC Plod (or maybe Noddy will be part of a new privatised Toyland force).
truebluesteve Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I would far prefer Teletubbies to In the night garden. The latter is responsible for serious brain washing of under 5s! I remember plenty of people saying exactly the same about Teletubbies when it came out :-)
