An Interview With Perdy

Hello, Perdy. Thanks for coming to talk to us today. So you're saying your friend is suffering from creative brain fog, is that fair to say, and if so, what advice would you give her?

Of course, darling, I've seen her suffer with creative brain fog that stops her from writing so many good natured stories. It makes my spots want to fall off. No one groan loudly, please, my spots will literally fall off if I hear about brain fog. It seems like she's uninspired. I heard her tell me her brain is getting heavier and shrouded in a stupendously black fog that's raining ink.

Now, I've told her that in order to find her inspiration and not worry about writing, she must go out and look for some things in nature that may give her inspiration - like that big bear paw when she was walking with her foster owner, for instance. It nearly gave her inspiration to do a poem about a giant bear in Scotland - which she refused to do because of her mental health issues which resulted in her going to therapy. So, I'd advise her to use her eyes, ears and maybe her nose to smell, see and hear some inspiration, be it music, a nice smell or a wonderful sight that may inspire her to do stories - apart from favourite cartoons of course. And the best piece of advice I'd give her is:

"YOU MUST NOT WORRY!"

BOOM! *Building explodes*

*Producers and interviewers cough from the smoke*

Oh dear, I seem to have done a whoopsy there. Can I have a chocolate biscuit and a mug of hot cocoa now?

Okay, fine. Tea break!

When I See A New Email From The Works...

Kipper's Strawberry Yogurt Pops

Like my old friend Percy The Park Keeper, I love yogurt, especially with a baguette. But, I love ice lollies even more, especially frozen yogurt lollies coming in every different colour of the rainbow. I may have had ice creams, but I never had ice lollies on the show, so, I think now's the time I might have to tell you how to do it - with the help of a brown bunny who loves chocolate milkshakes...

Metabee & Friends' Three Things To Watch When Scared

Metabee and his two best friends are here to tell you what shows to watch if you feel scared at night. Right, bots, off you go!

METABEE: When I feel scared, I watch Kipper. Oh, a timeless classic I tell you, no matter what, I always find Kipper really calming and relaxing. No matter what Kipper and his friends do, I always find myself joining in too. It gives me a source of comfort, away from Ikki's torture.
BRASS: I usually love watching the old Barbie films all the way up to 2009. When they aired on YTV back during its 'Weird' era, I would run to the screen and be glued to it. For you see, it's not about consumerism, it's about delighting on who we're all made of, large or small, short or tall.
ROKUSHO: I'll go last. Usually for a brash tall lab experiment like me, I watch hardcore and horrifying things, but too many of that and you're hobnobbled to extinction. So, I hate to say this, but the soothing thing I like to watch is Earth Moods - it may not be from YTV, but slow pans through various places on Earth can soothe me and make me...

CHILL...

The Boobahs On: Consumerism On Kids' TV

HUMBAH: Consumerism. Tell me about it. It just isn't fair that Nick Jr would want to convert from innocent listening and observation skill-encouraging, colourful, gentle shows all the way through to programmes with no learning curve and just advertising.
JUMBAH: Mmmm, yeah, Bro, I don't like how it turned out today.
HUMBAH: Me neither.
JUMBAH: It's just the way kids view TV these days. They look at a show that's just like Paw Patrol, right, and then they see the CGI models are just like toys, so they beg and plead and plead and beg for their parents to get them the toys. And guess what that results in?
HUMBAH: A screaming fit. A horrible, screaming tantrum. And we Boobahs never throw fits - we are just preschool kids with huge eyes and rainbow coloured gumdrop coats, but guess what? We're fitness instructors. No hard stuff, no "MOVE IT"s or whatever, just silent fitness instructors moving and letting kids imitate what we do on a TV screen.
JUMBAH: Awesome. But with more CGI on our screens, on Nick Jr or on Disney Junior, kids are going to become money hungry tycoons. We need to do something!
HUMBAH: Yeah. We must convince those grown ups that there's more to preschool TV than consumerism. It's about listening, observing and imitating. Am I right, guys?
JINGBAH: You got that right, Big Bro.
ZING ZING ZINGBAH: Me too! Hooray!
ZUMBAH: Leave me out. See you later.
HUMBAH: Well, at least we can all pitch in...
ZUMBAH: Not me.
