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"

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
