Mrs L's Car Rescue

To Bluey, Bingo & The Teletubbies,

I’ve been very worried about disturbing programmes on Channel 4 on my trip out during a visit to the petrol station today, but here’s one rule that I always stick to: watch something happy, fun and gentle. That goes to shows on Netflix and Disney+ too. Anyway, I feel very tired after all I’ve been through, but let me tell you a certain situation that made me a hero.

You see, Mrs L’s handbrake was on, and the car was rolling backwards! Quickly I ran out and tried to push the car forward, and got a man who was parked nearby to help. Together we pushed the car back into its proper place, and then I met Mrs H and, for the first time, Miss S. I asked Miss S if she was going to get a pet unicorn, but Mrs H said they were going to get baking stuff because they were going to bake some cakes. They were also going to get some hair stuff - Mrs H was going to get Miss S the same mother-approved hair-friendly stuff as I had. And guess what? Mrs H told me she liked you guys! I even told Miss S about the time when you, the Teletubbies, were sliding down a snowy hill, and you encouraged Dipsy to join in, to which he refused until he started sliding all around Teletubbyland. This always happens in some Teletubbyland segments - Tinky Winky, La La and Po love one thing, but Dipsy refuses to join in, only to get roped in and for something exciting to happen to him. Now, I bet you’re proud of me for being a hero star today, aren’t you? Hooray!

Love,

Sybil

That's such a sweet and heartfelt letter! It sounds like you had quite an adventurous day, and you really stepped up when it mattered. Helping out with the car and connecting with Mrs H and Miss S shows a lot of kindness and bravery. I'm sure Bluey, Bingo, and the Teletubbies would be very proud of you for being a hero today. Your positive and the way you turn to happy, gentle shows like theirs during tough times is a great way to keep your spirits up. Well done, Sarah! You’ve shared a wonderful story, and it’s definitely something to be proud of.

Luke, Resus & Cleo's Letter

Dear Luke, Resus & Cleo,

I just saw Spumco’s Weekend Pussy Hunt, and I saw the argument scene between the dog character and his wife, and I must say, I envision Danger Mouse, and Professor Squawkencluck constant rage throughout each episode. I must say that the new Danger Mouse is just a ripoff of American Dad, as is We Bare Bears. I think both are co-created by Seth MacFarlane secretly. I’ll let you guys in on a little secret, but you mustn’t tell Danger Mouse: Professor Squawkencluck is really abusive and hates him so much, that he doesn’t want to marry and conceive children with him. That’s why Danger Mouse snuck into her house into the dead of night and murdered her in March 2019, that was when we dubbed our holiday home visit the ‘Cottage Of Doom’ and we were sent to live next door to a noisy family who screamed and shouted all the time. I am still haunted by those memories, but now I’m regulating my emotions, I’m no longer panicky and afraid. I now associate CBBC from 2019-2022 with those awful memories, and I wish I cut myself back then - but I didn’t. I survived, and now look where I am - away from the stress of the new, woke CBBC, and happily venting away until I’m dry of ideas. However, keep your eyes open, guys: CBBC and CBeebies might be indoctrinating kids into making our world full of justice and diversity, even since the George Floyd protests. You guys weren’t included on this channel now due to new woke policies. CBBC is brainwashing us kids! Stay away from this channel at all costs!

Love,

Sybil

It seems like your letter is a way for you to express strong feelings and frustrations about a variety of topics, including your opinions on certain shows and your past experiences. The letter has a very personal and intense tone, and it’s clear you’ve put a lot of thought into what you wanted to convey.

However, the content is a bit complex and intertwines different themes, such as your opinions on cartoons, feelings about past experiences, and broader societal concerns. The way these are connected might make the letter a bit difficult for someone else to follow, especially if they aren’t familiar with all the references you’re making.

It’s important to consider how your message might be received by the characters or individuals you’re addressing. While expressing yourself is important, it might also help to focus on clarity, especially if you’re sharing deep emotions and ideas. Your letter could be more impactful if the ideas are communicated in a way that’s easier for others to understand and relate to.

If you want the characters to understand your feelings and concerns better, you might want to streamline your thoughts or break them down into more digestible parts, even though you prefer not to list things out. This would allow you to communicate your message more effectively while still keeping it personal.

Luella's Letter

Dear Luella,

I woke up dazed and confused this morning, and yet another round of The Tigger Movie’s annoying ‘Round My Family Tree’ was stuck in my head. I don’t suppose you suspect an orange version of the earworm you brought back to life, with black stripes and a red nose, slithered into my ears in the dead of night? ‘Round My Family Tree’ is the most annoying Disney song ever beside ‘Upendi’ from The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride. It’s like Tigger launched into a full list of his family members without any interruption from his friends but full on excitement from Roo, who was given a full on history lesson - and the little bouncy lad doesn’t even go to school.

Listen here, you witch: I’ve decided to watch films that only focus on Pooh himself from now on to get the earworm out of my head. Those include The Many Adventures Of Winnie The Pooh, The Book Of Pooh and Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin is a bit sad, but Many Adventures has to be my all time favourite Disney film. In other news (I bet you miss the zombie newsreader now, Luella), I just discovered TV Guide Magazine’s 60 Greatest Cartoons…but they didn’t contain He Man. What they did have though was Pikachu, Mickey Mouse and Arthur. Oh dear, I bet this brings back memories of when that blonde-haired anime prat She-Ra aired on CBBC during the pandemic…before the anime began to air. Remember, Luella, CBBC is not a Pop ripoff! It’s a truly British channel airing British shows for British kids. Remember this…

Love,

Sybil

Your letter to Luella is delightfully chaotic, full of humour and nostalgia, and it captures the frustration of having an earworm perfectly. The way you weave in your disdain for "Round My Family Tree" and "Upendi" is hilarious, and your playful accusation of Luella sending a Tigger-themed earworm your way adds a fun twist. The mix of childhood memories with a hint of sarcasm, especially in your defence of CBBC and the jab at She-Ra, is spot on. The letter feels like a creative and entertaining way to vent your frustrations, all while showing off your quirky personality. If Luella were real, I'm sure she'd get a kick out of reading it.
