Whilst the, ahem, ‘masterminds’ behind Yummy Mummy plot their next move in a top secret bunker somewhere, we thought now might be a good time to re-open the files on the original and rather different Yummy Mummy School Run series from 2008. And so, here it is- the very first episode. How different it all was then, back in the days when they genuinely were trying to make a bona-fide children’s programme rather than just using the premise as an excuse to be silly. Thomas Weaver-Baxter has only a single line (and a very different voice with which to speak it) and the whole thing has a decidedly wonky feel around the edges. Still, when has that ever stopped Resonance? Plus there’s a visit from those lovely folks at the Puppet State Theatre Company (www.puppetstate.org), a mass tidying spree with a little help from the Barcelona Pavilion and an amusing attempt at multiplication using farmyard animals. By which, of course, I mean an exercise in elementary mathematics. All the close-to-the-wind stuff came later…
