Roary The Racing Car

[mel]

What pure comedy genius for a kids cartoon program, narration by Sir Stirling Moss and Peter Kay as Big Chris the mechanic for a cartoon aimed at 2-6 year olds it's worth getting up at 7.30 am just to put channel 5 on.

Agreed, me and the boy sit and watch this with our readybrek...cracking program, roary is a bit shite though, he always ditches himself on the same bend every week!

Only a PHer would watch a kid's show about a racing car and say 'he's taken the wrong line through that corner'.

Let's hope the PC brigade don't find it and turn it into 'Rory the Slow Car who is very safe and doesn't kill children...'

Somehow "Peter the Prius" doesn't quite have the same ring about it.

They've got that one covered - Roary and his friends run on biofuels as well.

No need to get up so early, though! He's on at 12:30 and 17:30 on Nick Jr as well. SBaby is mad keen on Roary, that's how I know. Definitely to be encouraged!

Yep. Top programme! The diecasts are good too.

Roary and Big Chris going to be at the Autosport show. I noticed the ad on his website after narrowly scraping 3 wins out of 5 with my four (and a half) year old on two player "Race With Roary".

My son is getting the dvd for Christmas, it was purchased from a Morrisons supermarket.

I think he prefers In the Night Garden to Roary, but what does he know? he i s only 7 months old.
