Shouting the word "Bogey" in museums is about as intelligent as they get. Am I just too old to appreciate their 'humour'? |
I think Mike's a fan. Either that or he dislikes them greatly. One of the two. I can't stand them. My nephew went through a phase of shouting "bogies" at the top of his voice whenever excited. He's 22.
Sorry, I mean 2. Anyway, I'm not a parent but surely there's not really any benefit to that? Perhaps a parent would enlighten me on why shouting unsociable words is the great way forward? Sends the wrong signals to me.

I like them. Purely because kids today are having education rammed down their throats. Everything on kids TV has to be educational, or moral, responsible and so on. But for 2 hours in a week, that can just be thrown out of the window by just having pure and simple escapist FUN. It's not intended to be intelligent, it's not intended to be serious, but what it is intended to be, is something for kids (and immature grownups like me) to giggle at. PLUS, they don't hawk products, or get the latest music acts on trying to promote their latest product, and with them being on the BBC, aren't allowed to advertise anything, and IMHO that's far less harmful than any supposed "informative" program shown on any other channel with several commercial adverts designed to manipulate children in between.
I'm not saying you have to like it, let's face it, it's probably liked by kids *because* it annoys older people. But, amongst all the other programmes, there is a place for a noisy and puerile show like this, and you shouldn't underestimate the need for brash and noisy entertainment without a hidden agenda.
