So Wiggles are like Teletubbies, but less scary to grown-ups.
You want scary kids' TV? In The Night Garden. The Girl had a traumatic encounter with an electronic singing version of Iggle Piggle, and now screams and runs out of the room if this is on TV. I'm just slightly nervous of the giant inflatable shapes.
I'm sorry, but there is no British children's television show more terrifying than the Tweenies. NONE.

Aaaaaaahhhhhhh!! The first, unexpected appearance of that Gumby-like thing actually made me yip.
Shir, those lectures look absolutely fascinating. You must come back and report on them.

I warned you. Bloody terrifying. How kids can watch that at bedtime is beyond me.
It is pouring rain today so our plan to wander around Newport is out, but it is still nice to be here. We may go to a movie later.
Hil, didn't mean to sound like I was questioning your doc. I mostly meant Beighton vs. Brighton, which it sounds like he's aware of. I know that a lot of people think HMS is basically indistinguishable from EDS III.

That was awesome! They have hoopoes!
Weekly update: I now have a big honking satellite dish in my back yard, aimed at China. We can receive about 35 TV channels and over 100 radio stations. This marks the culmination of a saga lasting months, and was installed just in time (quite literally, as in the same morning) for Wallybee's parents to watch the PRC's 60th anniversary celebrations. Wallybee's parents, it should be noted, are quite awesome. This should be a great help in them feeling more at home here.
