What's the Story from Balamory?...

...well today's news is that the BBC are in town for a fortnight filming a new series of Balamory.

(For those without children this is a surreal TV programme for young children transmitted on the CBeebies channel and occasionally others, and set in Tobermory.)

My youngest boy, Spike, and several of his nursery friends were involved in filming on Tuesday and from what I can gather they all had a whale of a time.

No doubt there'll be much more to tell over the coming weeks about the exploits of our heroes, Miss Hooley, PC Plum (Plummy to his mates!), Spencer, Josie Jump, Penny Pockets and Suzi Sweep, not forgetting Archie the Inventor.
The Daisy Bus
Here's my eldest daughter, Natasha, preparing to hijack the 'Daisy Bus'.

More to follow...

I see in the news that josie jump's house has been dropped from the show as the proprietor of the yellow hotel is alleged to have said that he murdered her!!!!! (today's Sun)

Thanks for the comments, both of you. I'm pleased you like the photos.

The scandal in the newspapers was the source of a good many chuckles in the bar. Just shopws how easy it is to commit commercial suicide.

Cheers

Any idea when filming will take place in 2005??? It's for my 15 month old...honest!

Nick from Shropshire


Have been trying to discover this myself! According to BBC productions, there will be no more filming this year - they're in 'Post Production' at the moment so there may be an odd day here and there, but nothing really until next year!

Never mind, think we'll go anyway...

Tricia from Nottm


every one knows the truth about the two gay lovers pc plum and Archey the Inventor any way why is he the president of the usa living in the wight house

Robin from England (Bristol)


has josie jump changed? or has her voice broken? strange how a yellow tracksuit and bunches make people look strangely similar.... but not quite enough....
