Daisy & Ollie

If my kids were that annoying I'd dump them behind the biffa bins round the back of Tesco. Do not waste you time. Or your kid's time. They won't thank you for it. In fact they'll probably try dumping you behind the biffa bins round the back of Tesco...

It's a good show: -the dialogue: plain and simple with a spark of genius

• doesn't have that type of boring me-good, you-bad cliché

-the way they find solutions and not get whining about it -their friendship, a boy and a girl can be friends without a crush -the robot who helps by explaining new things.

Only boring people get bored.

Beady-dead-eyed, perma-grin horror children learn fairly mundane things, with a robot and a monkey, (seriously, why no whites in their eyes? *shudders*)

This show is HEAVILY voiced by Jason Manford, man of a thousand voices, all of them...Jason Manford. I like Jason Manford as a comic, but his acting and singing is less appealing.

"Highlights" of Manford's vocal "abilities", are his "American" robot. Who's back story presumably included previous time spent as a factory machine in Manchester?

Another is his POC postman, who sounds like a somewhat offensive impression of fellow comic, Jon Bishop.

I guess I should be grateful Mamford at least avoided doing a Jamaican or Kenyan accent! (And let's not even get into the ugly subject of black characters being voiced by white actors, like some modern minstrel act. Couldn't find a black voice actor, Jason?).

And as if white washing the vocal pool, voicing everyone, and butchering their accents wasn't bad enough, the kids TV crime of all crimes is committed here too...Using a grown woman to do a screechy little girls voice. Eurghh!! It's horribly irritating to the nth degree. Just because the Simpsons pulled it off, doesn't mean you can too.

Most other shows have learned to use child voice actors. Sadly Daisy and Ollie is trapped firmly in the tacky past.

My two year old daughter genuinely yells, "uh oh" or "oh no" and gets her lego out the second this comes on, and I couldn't be more proud of her.
