**allrevvedup** · 03 Mar 2009, 17:39

I thought it was fun...i doubt so many adults (and i use the term loosely

) have ever commented so much about recent kids television

*originaldancechick · 03 Mar 2009, 18:15

Thanks for helping me out folks. I DID get to see the last showing last night. I rescanned my tv (or rather hubby) did, and I thotoughly enjoyed it, Needless to say I am also a Bookaboo fan now too, and of course Meat's reading it has helped. Thanks again. Luv cx

now to explain to my parents why it is CRUCIALLY important they record a kids tv show for me (since i am out at work)

SamCat · 04 Mar 2009, 01:25

Today's story was good but not as good as yesterday's of course lol!!

lorenzoduke · 04 Mar 2009, 17:42

I should have it later tonight. It's a huge file, so I'll convert it to a smaller format. Where's the best place to upload it without getting kicked off the forum? Should I send it to thenakedwire or something?

~Helen~ · 05 Mar 2009, 00:43

rats rats rats...have just discovered our antiquated video recorder doesn't have the capability of recording freeview channels...or at least according to my parents it doesn't.

lorenzoduke unfortunately i dont have the answer so will let someone wiser than i answer that one...and in the absence of clever technology in this household look forward to that answer and more importantly...your file!

Battybarb · 23 Mar 2009, 09:24

when my two grandaughters came round yesterday,they couldnt wait to tell me that they had been watching Meat Loaf with bookaboo last week,so it must be reapeated quite a lot,my daughter was quick enough to add "yea five times in one day

"

lorenzoduke · 23 Mar 2009, 10:07

I have it. Anyone who wants a copy, send me a PM within the next week or so.

Hypnobabe · 23 Mar 2009, 11:53

Chris, did you get to see this yet?

SW31 · 24 Mar 2009, 01:47

no i'll get round to it

**Monstro** · 24 Mar 2009, 09:25

Due to the never ending viewing (a certain 2 and a 1/2yr old cannot eat breakfast without it) we also now own the book for bedtime lol

In the two weeks to 14th March, The Lamb Who Came for Dinner saw sales rise more than 130%

**Monstro** · 26 Mar 2009, 14:01

If sales had gone up immediately, it would have contradicted all our market research which says there's a problem out there of parents not reading to children, which is why we are doing this programme."

From what Anji's seen at our playgroup this is very true, it's so easy to tell which kids are read to regularly as their speech etc is by far advanced over same aged kids.

On the topic of sales, when we went to buy the book we had to order it, the promotions had not hit the shop floor 2 weeks after it had started airing so future sales figures should give a better reflection.

**RadioMaster** · 26 Mar 2009, 19:13

watched the show yesterday. Thought it was good, though admittably Im not the biggest expert on uk kids tv, so I dont know how your programmes usually are like.
