"Thomas the tamil engine" gets it for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" /> i don't get it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> "Thomas the Tank Engine" is a hugely popular series of kids books, TV shows and assorted spin-off products. Not sure which countries it's shown in, but it's been sold in a lot of places. It's been revived and re-done several times since the books were first written something like 50 years ago. Tamils are a race of people from S.India and Sri Lanka. So all those hangers on could easily be Tamils. It's one for those who prefer clever word play over laugh-out-loud fart jokes.. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> (we know Kris in real life, so he won't mind my dragging my wife's entry into the discussion <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )

I have a young son, so we have Thomas on TV, Thomas books, Thomas Snap cards ... even a wooden Thomas model railway set (behind me as I type).. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> As for Neighbours, I think that it's made to export for the English to watch so they can get a bit of sunshine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" /> I can honestly say that I've never seen it, and I don't know anybody who does watch it. But I expect it does have a following amongst the soapie set here. We seem to get a heck of a lot of American and English TV though, detective shows being high on the list. Australia also exports a kids show called "Bananas in Pyjamas", which you might say is our revenge for Thomas the Tank Engine and Sesame Street. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> And congratulations to Bean too. Short and sweet (the caption that is - not sure about bean's dimensions.... )

Sesame Street was quality viewing, at least until it became the Elmo and Friends show. Teletubbies!!! Aaaaaargh!! WMDs - Weapons of Moronic Dumbness. I'd been trying to forget that piece of ..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> I do agree that Sesame Street is actually pretty good value too. We are fans of The Count here now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> And this morning I caught myself singing "our journey to Ernie is done...." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" /> But we like to see local content. So our real love is the Australian made Playschool (based originally on a British show). We can recite huge chunks of it verbatim... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/silly.gif" alt="" />
