Yummy Mummy: Series 1, episode 1
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…
Hooting Yard: Organised Fern Hunt
Hunting animals is the sport of fools. Nearly all animals run away when pursued. Ferns, on the other hand, stay right where they are, so you can go crashing through thickets with much gusto, a determined jut to the jaw, every so often emitting cries of panic or revelation, or both, all the while safe in the knowledge that your quarry is not dashing away over the fields, vanishing over the horizon, leaving you and your band of fellow adventurers exhausted and stupid and empty-handed.

Yummy Mummy: Series 2, episode 6
Resonance FM’s high-octane, low-concept children’s light entertainment bonanza for forward-thinking little people and backward-thinking big people. This week finds evil Station Commander Thomas Weaver-Baxter unable to endure another serving of Resonance’s most childish children’s show and so decides to find out what the other stations in the fair city of London have to offer. To his extreme chagrin all they seem able to offer is yet more Yummy Mummy, whose rapidly accelerating fame has forced him to shop around for further endorsements. Yes, for one shining and final moment, every other station in London is going to sound just a little but like Resonance FM. What better way to end the series, other than a sincere promise that it won’t happen again?
