Lenny Henry is actually Big and small!

Yes, 64 Zoo Lane is definitely the pick of the bunch. Is it immature of me to sing the song as '64 Poo Lane', though?


I told my daughter in complete frustration the other day that she wouldn't be watching Waybaloo as they were 'loons' - she seemed quite offended. What's with the strange noises and baby talk on shows like Waybaloo and In the Night Garden? Surely they're meant to be helping our children learn to form actual words.


Didn't know Lenny was Big AND Small. Fascinating, yet still quite grating.

There's also a new one (well, since I went away in Feb anyway) called Zingzillas which my kids love. So far I've seen Cleo Laine, John Dankworth and Julian Lloyd-Webber on it, quite impressive for a kids programme (and all people I've had the pleasure of performing with in the past, so kids are getting a running commentary on Mummy's life pre-children!).

What's your vision of Lead ZingZilla? What do you reckon lurks beneath??? Just trying to get a visual....

For slightly older kids: CBBC, 5.45pm Mon-Thur, Big Babies. It's excellent. Sometimes it's followed by Sean the Sheep and then Jakers, which is an all-star line up in my book.


Third and Bird was very popular with my lot for a while, but then the Wonderpets came along and no one's doing the muffin any more.

Not sure - I just think he looks like he hasa nice body.


Ooh - I sound like a perv now.

It's not Billy Connolly. It's a chap called Lewis McLeod who does lots of voiceovers on all sorts of stuff and can do some good impressions too. Hence the Billy Connolly.

Of course the real lyrics to Zoo Lane go "There's one with a hump and one that can jump, and one that is a bit of a c---. 64,64,64 Zoo Lane"

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
