Ah, that's better, Daisy. Now it makes sense!
I agree - we have the complete series, and have watched it in its entirety many times over the years.

Good one, Pete. Does this mean next he'll be coming out as a Narnia fan too?

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

"Yes, I'm finally making the transition," explained George in her increasingly deep, gravelly voice, fondly rubbing the nascent stubble on her chin and stealing a sideways glance in the mirror at her broad, flattened chest. "You're to go on calling me George as always, of course. But no more 'she' or 'her', even behind my back, you understand? From now on — at last — I'm he."

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but it's just me being a bit naughty with something I found advertised on a book dealer's website just now. The heading reads:
NODDY STRIPS in RUPERT WEEKLY MAGAZINE
... I know what it really means, of course, but I still couldn't resist thinking: "Does he??"

As Noddy has already been illustrated naked, Rupert Weekly Magazine has nothing new to offer.

Jo! Bessie! Fanny! The Land at the top of the Faraway Tree right now is so not awesome!

George wandered into the house with Tim at her heels, cheerfully singing her favourite song - "I Enjoy Being a Girl".
