Charlie Brooker on children's telly

Just watching Jonny Ball Games now ?

Waaah. He's doing the Night Garden now. 'guff cloud'

?

Sporticus. 'Bell end'. I couldn't agree more. ?

I'm still chuckling at Dolmio puppets (easily amused icon)

I thought that was brilliant too. I am now sniffing about Oliver Postgate and Brooker's tribute to him though. I am deffo going to make my children watch his stuff.

Just watching...

Dennis Neilsen ?

That is Postgate's stuff, not Brooker's. Brooker's is a bit sweary for a 2 year old ?

Aw, sob at the mice singing us out over the credits.

We've tried. Went down like the proverbial lead balloon every time.

I haven't given up yet, though.

I am going to try. I think Tabitha might like it as she likes all the gentle stuff. she's still absolutely in love with the night garden even though she's been watching it for over a year.

I will be gutted if they don't appreciate it! maybe they're all still a bit young?

Johnny Ball Games ?

Isaac loves Bagpuss and Ivor the Engine (all the episodes are on youtube) and we've got him Clangers for Christmas. I think ITNG is very Postgatesque, down to Sir Derek's soothing tones and the retro leafy patterns. Not a patch on him obviously, but "school of"
