Justin Fletcher is a natural children's performer. Whether it's his appealingly childish sketch show, Gigglebiz, which draws plaudits from our six year and three year-old alike (and is frequently Pippa's most requested show), his regular presenting duties on Tikkabilla or his much gentler show Something Special, he has a strong appeal to the very young.As its name suggests, Something Special is the award-winning BBC TV series using Makaton sign language and is aimed at children with learning and communication difficulties, but has also proved incredibly popular with many other pre-school viewers. The programme is inclusive in its approach and Toby and Pippa find it very funny.
The eight episodes on the new DVD: Time for Mr Tumble focus on everyday aspects of young childrens’ lives and feature Mr Tumble, Lord Tumble, Aunt Polly and Grandad Tumble. Episodes include Nature Trail, Play, Sport, Village Fete, Festival, London, Art and Baby. Something Special is a gentle and engaging programme for pre-schoolers and Mr Tumble aka Justin Fletcher is something of a hero in our and many households!
A lovely DVD for pre-schoolers.
