The Wiggles

Victoria Derbyshire | 08:21 AM, Friday, 3 July 2009

They're the biggest band in the world - for under 5s, with 30 million videos and CD sales world-wide, they play sell out tours in front of audiences of up to 12,000 people, and children in over 100 countries watching their TV show; Kylie Minogue has performed with them but they beat her and Russell Crowe to remain top of Australia's rich list for the fourth year running. Last year they earned a cool £20.4m. They're the children's entertainers the Wiggles - currently on tour in Britain...and on the show today. Here they are performing with Kylie...

Plus we're going to talk to the Manchester United supporter who runs this website

    I personally find the Wiggles to be extremely scary. With respect Victoria, what are we meant to be commenting on?

    Hi Zelda - you don't have to comment on anything, I just wanted to let you know a little of what was on the show today.
    Love Victoria

    Oh OK - but I shall hide when the Wiggles come on your show - they haven't got that pirate with them have they? ;)

    I remember watching the wiggles with my 2 and 4 year olds. A fantastic marketing concept keeping under 5's entertained with nursery rhyme type songs. The perfect pester power to buy the CDs and DVD's in spades. Plus you have a constant recycled audience of mums desperate to keep kids happy.

    Wiggles are certainly more talented than Kylie.

    La la la la la la la...(do me a favour)..

    Although Kylie does have a nice bum...

    Hiding ?

    I've switched off again.

    If I want to listen to womens hour items all the time or a band getting a BBC promotion I may as well switch over to Radio 4 or 6Music.

    How sweet to hear Victoria's children on the programme, and to share the story about her partner.

    I do hate that word ' partner ' .
    Sounds like something from an old western movie when the cowboys would say ' Howdy partner '.

    In old money it used to be just plain man and wife.Much simpler for all concerned .

    If you're not married you can't call someone your husband or wife, old bean.......you have to say partner these days anyway. (!)

    I hate the word 'partner' too. What's wrong with boyfriend/girlfriend or lover?

    I thought partner was used in a) business sense or b) if you were in a homosexual relationship.

    Not too sure when 'partner' crept into the gender neutral relationship speak.

    But then I stand for everything 5Live and BBC hate; male, straight, husband, father in a monogomous loving stable and faithful relationship in employment and who pays his taxes with no criminal record. Not racist not homophobic. Boring I guess...

    I apologise I thought Victoria was married with chidren.That was my reference to the awful ' partner ' word.

    What about calling them spouse or consort ?

    Leonard-Zelig, I don't suppose most of the Five Live presenters would know what a consort is. Oh well.

    Off I go.

    I am obviously way outside of the 5live p.c. ' partner ' driven demographic .

    As a 30 years married , white male with two grown up children, I somehow don't feel I fit in with the agenda on early morning 5live radio.

    Up the Villa.
