I was talking with my blokey the other day about Balamory and how annoying it is when the theme tune gets stuck in your head!!!
He told me that some friends of his went to see the village that is used as the setting when one of their children asked why the original Josie Jump left.
The miserable old bloke they asked turned round and said "How many times do I have to tell people that she's dead"!!!
Someone please tell me that he's trying to make an idiot out of me and that this story is not true!!!

She's not dead and still does the Christmas pantos apparently. The official line is that she was "too busy" to sign up for lots of future episodes.

I'm not sure that she didn't perhaps have a baby.

I felt a bit silly starting this thread if it was a joke by the blokey but I'm at the old bloke for telling kids this.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who heard this.

Josie Jump is probably busy with her shifts in Burger King

LOL moozo. She probably did a diva and started to ask for ridiculous wages and perks in her dressing room!!!

Personally I don't think the new Josie Jump is a patch on the old one. She says all her lines "as-though-she-is-reading-them". Listen next time she's on.

Can you imagine being a diva on Balamory. I bet that Archie's too big for his boots as well.

In his other life, Archie is a (fairly blue) stand up comedian.

Lmao @ the miserable old bloke!!!

I told DD that the new one is from an evil dimension. She's locked the old one away in a cupboard and is plotting a way to secretly swap all the original cast with their evill alter egos.

Luckily DD is 2, and has no idea what any of that means

I liked the first Josie - she had joie de vivre, I am trying to give the new one a chance but I must say the first one was much better.

New one looks spectacularly unco-ordinated to me - not a girl for whom exercise is second nature. She makes me look sporty, which takes some doing, I can tell you!

Crickey, I thought the old Josie Jump was RUBBISH and presumed she had been sacked cause she was a complete plank of wood and always looked like the whole thing was a bit beneath her. I quite like the new one....

Am I alone????

I would love the story in Balamory to be something about drug trafficking, drive by shootings and orgies.

But I do quite like it really

I would also love to buy Miss Hoolie a new cardigan
