Whoo, TV Choice magazine, in conjunction with Fisher-Price, is running a prize draw competition with 10 winners each receiving a collection of talking Mr Men and Little Miss soft toy characters from the current Mr Men Show on TV.  I must buy a postcard tomorrow and enter

I remember reading the Mr Men stories by Roger Hargreaves when I was young.  They first appeared on UK television between 1974-1985 with narration by Arthur Lowe.  Some artistic license has been taken in adapting the books for the latest TV show made in America.  There have been some name changes, character design alterations, the addition of some entirely new characters and even the gender reassignment of some of the originals

“Somebody needs a tickle” - Mr Tickle
“Touch me and I’ll bite your arm” - Mr Grumpy
