Parents
  • That's a good list I'd say Tracey Baker and mr Benn

    But outside of that list I'd say the queens nose,aquila,ghost hunter,big kids and my parents are aliens 

    Something speical is a very good show though as it teaches inclusion and acceptance of disability and it's a good way to learn macaton signs which are very good for communicating with non verbal people but are also useful if you dont know bsl and use them as an aid to someone who is lip reading 

    Look and read was a good series too in particular the boy from space and geordie racer but dark towers looked good but I never saw it 

  • I remember Kinghtmare. Blissfully unaware of the Tolkien influence.
