| The Fimbles The Fimbles Marketing Incorporated rolls into town with Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom. Okay, so shows like Dora The Explorer from The States makes The Fimbles marketing effort seem amateur, however the programme still frequently feels like a vehicle to sell merchandising. Anyway... Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom live in Fimble Valley. What they make up for with charm, they quickly lose with low brain cell count. Are you getting that Fimbly Feeling? (Available at all good stores for just £10.99). The plot is straightforward. Each episode sees one of the Fimbles discover a merchandising opportunity, sorry, mystery object, and hilarity ensues as The Fimbles figure out what it's for and how it works. Ably assisting them are a cast of extras. Bessie (my love), a Lancashire bird and son Ribble pop up regularly to show The Fimbles what the objects do, cutting to scenes from the real world in the process. (Mercifully short unlike Teletubbies - just watch that child's attention evaporate!). Then there is Roly Mo, popping along with an instructive story. (NOTE: If your a student trying to be wacky down the union and aren't watching the programme for the educational benefit of a child, switch immediately to the vastly superior Roly Mo Show, a spin-off from The Fimbles.) Finally, there is Rockit, a blue frog and one of the most annoying television creations of all time. Smelly Jelly! Yes, you're right there Rockit. Back to Parents Guide to Kids TV |
