This gets on my nerves. It's stupidly babyish to call it Beebies imho. I know I'm being really pedantic...

Are you telling this to the 2 year olds?

My 2.5yo niece calls it Beebies. So does her 5yo sister. Maybe the 5yo should know better?

Several people have called it that on here. Fine if their kids call it that but grown adults.

I agree CCeebies is just irritating too.

Around here, it is known as Cbabies. Try telling my DS (2.10) that it is anything else!

Now CBabies that's cute.
No problem with kids calling it what they like, it's grown-ups that should get it right.

Ah - that's where you've got us MNersanon - because Cbabies is quite cute and (obviously) DS is cute too, we end up saying it. Although to be honest, we only really talk about it when DS is around and we are talking about either watching it or not!
