What the actual fuck have they done to NUMTUMS?

[gaggiagirl]

Sat watching the all new numtums with DD.

It is shit.

Opinions welcome.

That is all.

[hootloop]

I prefer the new one. DD got very excited 'the numtums have got names, I didn't know the numtums have names' etc ad infinitum.

The new grandpa in my pocket however, so many questions.

[CecyHall]

The songs were the best bit of numtums and now there are no songs.

[owlbegoing]

I was just coming on to start a thread with that precise title! What were they on when they thought this was a good idea?

[gaggiagirl]

Yeah grandpa can get knotted too.

[gaggiagirl]

I wanted to sing 'drummin with the numtums' well cbeebies, you have ruined that for me.

[BetterWithCheese]

It was like a whole new show. DS seemed to like it but missed the Numtums song [sad but not sad enough for actual sadface]

[insomniarules]

It's brilliant!
It's not shit.

[Scout19075]

SmallBoy keeps saying "The new Numtums have funny voices, Mommy." I only half-paid attention today -- was there any discussion about numbers and/or counting on it? There didn't seem to be whenever I did actually tune and listen....

[gaggiagirl]

I didn't see much numbering going on.

[DaddyPigsMistress]

The fucking fury when i watched on Monday and the theme tune had changed.

[RenterNomad]

Neo Numtums are bollocks! I need to teach DD not to skip from 4 to 9, and the catchy counting tune was just great! Then there was the out-of-order section, which is achievable and therefore engaging for a small child.

[HolyDrinker]

Also, what is with the new Mr Bloom series? No Raymond, no singing French aubergine, just him with his cod-northern accent being all educational and worthy about trees n shit.

[gaggiagirl]

Mr Bloom is another one welcome to get knotted!

[Scout19075]

I did notice a lack of veggies when SB watched Mr Bloom today. But again, I wasn't totally paying attention I was too busy MNing putting dinner in the slow cooker.

[lovelychops]

And what's with Mr Maker off on his jollys around the world? How did he manage that?

Grandpa in my pocket can fuck off.

[ShadowFall]

Yes, what's happened to the children in Grandpa in my Pocket?

There seem to be different children but the same Grandpa?

[gaggiagirl]

The children are adults now! Jason mason has grown into a fine young man.

[Magicstars]

I don't like the new numtums either!

[pluCaChange]

Here's the official explanation.

It suggests this is meant to be the new Numberjacks, but I must say I prefer the Numberjacks, not NeoNumtums!

[gaggiagirl]

I prefer numberjacks too.

All new numtums can jog on to fuckville!

[SauceForTheGander]

I love drummin with the numtums - has it changed? I'll refuse to watch it.

I want a numtum - a real one

[gaggiagirl]

I want a one too sauce they are cute.
Yes let's not watch New numtums in protest.

[SauceForTheGander]

That 'll show them. I'm with you.

And grand pa in my pocket - but I'm protesting against that because its creepy and crappy

And fucking grandma Murray scariest childminder ever.

Up yours cbeebies
