Back to school signals a fresh start for students.
New classmates, new teachers, new lessons.
Change is in the air.
But one thing hasn't changed.
The forward government still isn't investing in public schools.
Six years of cuts mean our students aren't getting the supports they need.
They can't wait another year.
If the forward government won't change, it's time to change the government.
Our kids are counting on us. Join us at Building Better Schools.C.A. A message from the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
Hello, I'm Josh Riddickham. And I'm Robbeckin. Welcome to Lockdown Parenting Hell.
The show in which Rob and I discuss what it's like to be a parent during lockdown, which I would say can be a little tricky. And to make a little tricky.
So in an effort to make some kind of sense of the current situation,
and to make me feel better about my increasingly terrible parenting skills.
Each episode will be chatting to a famous parent about how well they're coping.
Or hopefully not. And we will be hearing from you the listener with your tales of lockdown
parenting woe. Because let's be honest none of us know what we're doing.
Hello you are listening to lockdown parent in hell with Josh Whittakam.
Josh Widdickon.
And I'll Rob Beckett.
I love Beckett.
Oh, absolutely nailed the ending.
I love Dosh Widdickam.
It sounds like if you did some sort of tax scandal, it would be the daily male headmine.
Josh Widdickham.
Well, let's not rule it out at this stage of the year.
I've got to say this quickly. I've been doing walks with Tom Allen, right?
Because he lives around the corner and it's the only thing you'll have to do.
And we walk past the shop, because we're all in tier four and locked down.
He went and bought two bags of potatoes andtime. Oh, sorry, Josh.
I was going to say, Dosh Riddickham.
It's my daughter Evelyn.
I made the recording in June.
I mean, the thick of the lockdown, she was two.
She's three now, but I've just got round to sending it, which I said, sums up
the year a lot of us have had.
I mean, this year, this last last last last last last last last last last last last last last last. Last week feels like it's gone on for months. I've ever experienced anything like it. Because we're in London, aren't we?
Me by the skin of my teeth.
Yeah, I know you're pushing that.
Yeah, exactly.
But even, yeah, but Kent's worse, isn't it?
Kent's the new strain.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, but.
But yeah, so I don't you know at this point I'll take
tier gas as the next one rather than any more physical restrictions. So we've said to each other before
we started this. We don't want this to be like a depressing thing because it's not you know where it is but it's but. Can I just. th. th. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. It's. It's. No. It's. It's. It's. It's. the the the the the the the the the the the to. to. to. It. It's. It's. It's.

Can I just tell you what, since the last episode, what my week's been like with the kids,
right?
First thing that happened was, okay, that the two-year-old, or three-year-old now, we've had
the birthdays, the three-year-old woke up at 5 a.m. on the dot, a bit out of character. Normally they got up about half-sixth, they's, if if if-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s. th-s. th-a-s. th-s. th-a-a-a-n. th-a-n't-a-a-a-s. th-s. th-nigh-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-s. Wa-s. Wa-s. Wa-s. Wea-s. Wea-s. Wea-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-sa-s. Wa a bit. Five a.m. on the dot, right? And then I was waking up early as well.
Lorries, double-decker buses, all sorts going past our house.
There's a burst water main on another road.
Everything is diverted past my daughter's bedroom.
Like, I'm talking at National Expresses.
Like, lorries that have got like two trailers on about 50 wheels, right? It's so... The worst thing is, Rob, if you haven't read the news, those lorries are going to be backed
up because I can't even get to France now.
I don't know. They could... You're basically living on a lorry park. So it's like, you know,
like, it felt like I was living at a petrol station, our service station. Didn't you put out a little a little a little a little a little the ry and make some money out of the fix-take a bit of money, just sell you all keys, stuff like that.
Yeah anyway so the 21st of December it will be fixed so hopefully by the 21st
which is we're recording this today. Today it's been a bit quieter the road should be reopened
but I've had a full week of 5-air wake's just it's literally, it's too loud.
She's waking up, okay?
Oh, mate.
So that's, that's been going on.
The, uh, the tier restrictions that have really impacted the trampoline build, which
we'll talk about later in.
I think, do you know what? I think this saga has been tha thago, thago, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, tha, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, is that, thi, is that, it's tho, it's tho, it's tho, it's tho, it's tho, it's that, it's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that, that, to to too, too, too, tooo, toooooooooooooooo, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, that, that going to be putting out a Christmas special which is on Christmas Day. So you know when you're cooking your turkey for eight for your
three people that are living in your house you can listen to our Christmas
special I feel like even though it will have been recorded before the
trampoline saga it feels like we want the final update on the
on Christmas day not today. Yeah I'm my inscram and on the podcast I'll give you a trampolineineineine the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the taplainininininininin' tm. I'm. I'm.

Yeah, I'm my inscramb and on the podcast Instagram. I'll give you a trampoline update, okay?
At the moment, I'm all over the place.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I actually found out, this is how, like,
so this is my week, right?
This week has been, we've been at the five of the most stressful things you can do it's sort of it's insane so I'm be doing those. I'm going to say it it's not the future of entertainment.
No I don't think it is. I've still my neck out there. I did one Rob so you're basically on a zoom
call with a load of other people. You've got 20 minutes you simply can't do any of your normal material because
you sound like you have just lost it.
You sound like you're finally having a breakdown.
And you can't do any physical stuff.
You're sat to your desk riffing about, you know, whatever it is, organic veg boxes or that kind of big issues I deal with.
And so I did one and the guy on before me, poor bloke, 300 people on the zoom call.
One of them was watching Tipping Point, right?
And all we could hear was Tipping Point coming through, you know when on a Zoom call one person's
much louder than everyone else? Yeah. And people are like, is that Ben Shepard? Can I say Ben Shepard?
And every time this guy went to do a joke, like to the punchline you just hear Ben Shepard
ask a question and he couldn't identify? watching tipping point. I think there's a lot of things that need to be
ironed out with Zoom company parties. I don't think anyone attended the party
loved it either. It's very much a make do of what you've got vibe. Do you
what I mean? It's like liquor on pie and the gravy is they couldn't afford gravy so they made it out a parsley. the the the the their their their. their their their. their their their their. Ga. Ga. Ga. Gave. Gave. G. G. Gave. Gave. Gave. Gave. G. Gavon. Gavon. Gavon. Gavon. Gavon. G. Gra-a th. Gra-I th. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G. G.

I thpppppppppppppppp And now, nostrically, everyone loves it. But the reality is, no one really likes liquor or jelly deals.
It's just what, it was the only thing that existed for poor people.
There's some cool off brand.
Rob's absolutely losing his core demographic in a Christmas-related break down.
Let me, let me get this to them.
I do like liquor to gravy. I'm tho, I tho, I tha, I tha, I'm just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm just, I'm tho, tho, tho, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi, the. thea. toa. tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. th. th. th. to gravy. I'm throwing that out there, right? But I'm just saying, if gravy was available,
I don't think liquor would have been invented.
And certainly, you're not jelly and eels
if you've got a bag of crisps.
Oh, yeah, you just have a bag of crisps.
That's what I'm saying. You're not. Jelly Dils at your Granddad's funeral.
I mean how sad do you want someone to be in a day?
Your Grandad's dead and how you're eating Jelly Dill?
Are you the most authentically, I know you're not cockney,
but you are the most authentically cockney person I as but my mom and dad moves all over the place. But yeah I think so yeah I think start I think it's south east east it's very
it's weird because it's only just a little bit over the river but it's basically
dockers really I'm from a load of dockers in Burmesey so Burmese are basically the same as East London sort of dockers and stuff that's you know let's not get I want to to the I I I I I I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the to the the the the the the the the the the to the the to the the the the told.

Yeah, I'm going to tell you about where I was when I found out about the tier 4 lockdown, all the shops shutting, okay? Right? I was on Brighton
Seafront filming in full drag. Oh yeah, so career's going well then Rob. Rob. Yeah, it's a day off. Right. Right. I've been being rubbish for our TV show are in full drag. We just performed drag, okay? We are in tier 2 Brighton on the
seafront, a gale is blowing, right? And as I'm fully dressed up in drag at 5 p.m. someone goes,
oh, tier 4 lockdown. My phone's about to explode, right? I've said that, and it works out
that all the shops are shown at midnight, news Christmas present is currently being held for me in a shopping Regent Street, but I'm due to pick up Sunday at 4 o'clock after some more voice over filming I'm doing in London.
So the shop shut out at 7 o'clock.
I'm in Brighton, in drag, right?
Yeah.
And I'm like, what am I going to do?
Oh my God.
This is like a great Christmas film.
Oh, my God, Christmas is ruined. I'm not going to be able to lose present, another present, but I'm not going to get back to London
in time. I'm in full drag. It's going to take me ages to get out of this. I can't just get in a car in drag. You go to Regiant street. And as, as this is going on. A bloc'bokes, as this is going on a the the the bloke, as this is going on a their their tho, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a bloke, a b'er.

What? What?
That is amazing.
That is unbelievable.
And I didn't even compute the trampoline situation because I didn't know the full rules.
I just got told no one's around loud around your house for Christmas, the shops are
shut. Now I'm getting, I'm faced with a problem that could ruin Christmas for my wife, and then I get heckled in the street by a stranger,
and then this happened, and he shouted at me that, right?
And I was like, so now he's reminded me
that I'm gonna ruin Christmas for my kids,
and then the entire crew went to me,
you can't do a trampoline on your own,
and I was like, I know, everyone can't tell me! Oh my God, I've never been so stressed in my life.

But that's where I was when it all comes through.
And I felt a bit overwhelmed.
I felt a bit overwhelmed with it, Josh.
I was Ian, like, zone one or something. He was so fun. He went metal because he was supposed the powerful the powerful the powerful the powerful the powerful the the the powerful to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be tho. thoing. to be to be to be to be the powerful powerful powerful powerful powerful powerful powerful to be to be to be to be to be the powerful. the powerful. the power. the power. the power. the power. the power. the power. the power. the power. thi. thi. thi. to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be thi. thi. tho. thoooooooooooooooooooom. ta. tooooooooooooooooooom. tha. t in like Zone 1 or something? He was in to toe of Coralie, but he was so funny.
He went metal because he was supposed to be going to a hotel for Christmas, right,
that got cancelled, obviously.
So I was supposed to be going to Laplan got cancelled,
I was supposed to go to their birthday, now canceled.
He was supposed to be what to do so for, let's just go to a hotel and stuff. And then his mom got the up of him because he's going to a hotel without her.
And then, oh my boy. Then he went, and then when it got cancelled, like a day before the new restrictions,
he said, okay, well we'll have to drive work something out. Because I think that's allowed because I don't know what the rules are in tier two and he just went men and he went, I'm sick of it and he went, you can't do this to Asian families.
He just screams to the top of his voice, Asian moms just don't understand.
You can't explain it to him. They don't care what Boris says because they're your
mum and that's all that matters. And it's so funny, I'm stressed he was getting about his mouth. I think he's right.
You can if someone's in your support bubble, it's fine.
Yeah, I think, do you know what?
I think it is fine, but I didn't ask any questions.
I didn't want to get involved.
But I think he was just frustrated.
Oh, I'd have absolutely want to say this, because I think it's quite important. It is quite stressful, people are getting quite down and stuff of that,
but I think you've got to make the best of the situation.
And, you know, there's nothing you can really change.
You can only just change the way you react to the news.
And I was really stressed this faith, go for nice walks, listen to podcast and try and distract yourself as much as you can because it is brutal and I think it's okay to accept that and admit that it's brutal and tough
on you but it's just trying to do anything you can that sort of improves your mood, you know,
because it's hard work. Exactly. We'll get through it together. Rob, I'll take you through my week on Christmas Day because we can do this this this th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi's thi. thi. thi's thi's thi's thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi.

When you say we're interviewing Andy from CBBs, no one's asking about the surname.
Exactly, it was supposed to be last week, we had technical problems and so we were just waiting
for a few people to come back and okay certain things so that's why it was a bit late. We've got it now though and it's a great interview. It's a lovely th lovely lovely Andy great guy and it's hair is incredible isn't it his hair is incredible which is
really helpful on the podcast here's Andy. Hello Andy how are you? Hey Rob yeah not
not too bad thanks mate you're the first guest you've had on the show that

I want to call this episode Andy's Podcast Adventure.
That's not a bad idea.
Yeah, I'll take that.
I'll take that.
And you've got one daughter, is that right?
Yeah, she's two and a half.
And is she into your stuff?
Does she watch your shows?
Well, I pretty much force her to watch my stuff. Just so I don't have to watch Poor Patrol and Peter Rabbit constantly 24 hours a day.
So does she understand that I suppose she doesn't understand that is weird that you're on the TV?
I don't know. I think she probably thinks everyone's dad is on the TV. I don't know. I think she just sort of takes it for what it is. I think she sees me on TV.
She knows it's me. She knows I'm sort of dressing up. Like she says, like me and my other
half will say, what does daddy do? She goes, Daddy does dinosaurs. And then she'll say,
mummy does photography. And the reason she did that actually is because during lockdown we filmed a program, Andy's Dino Toy Box. And it was filmed in our, in thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, she thi, she th, she th, she th, she th, she knows, she knows, she thi, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she that that that, she that, she th, she that th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th, she th. She th. She th. She thee thee thee thee, she thee, she knows, she knows, thin, she knows, thee, th this time actually, Andy's Dino Toy Box.
And it was filmed in our spare room and so we'd put Ruby down at 7 o'clock and we'd film
it to 11, but she saw all the setup. So she saw the camera and stuff like that and so she was
like, oh, oh, what's this? And she'd see like those are dinosaurs on the table, she goes dinosaurs. What's this? So she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was, she was the the they. And she was th and she was th. And she was th. And she was thi, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, and, and, and, and, and, and, and. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. th. thi. too, thi. thi. too. thi. th. those are dinosaurs on the table, she goes, dinosaurs. And then what's this? You say, well, mommy does photography,
and daddy does dinosaurs.
I mean, that sound a bit dodgy when you say it like that, actually.
But I was saying that you do do dinosaurs really well.
If I ever wanted something to do a dinosaur, it would be you.
What's it like, you know, like all these things, it's a new
thing, but it became exciting and then the excitement went after probably the first or second
time.
And do you know what? The hardest thing was, I think, our house is the noisiest house
ever and you know what it's like when you get your little one down and she's asleep or here she is asleep you think I don't want to do anything to wake them and
and it's the noise out the room we were filming him is the room below Ruby's bedroom so we were just
tipped her around for an hour setting up the camera and it was quite painful and it was just
don't you know we'd be biting each other.
So cat, cat, cat, don't go downstairs.
Do you need to go downstairs?
I've got to go to the toilet.
Do you just hold it, you know?
So what's it like when you're out and about?
Do you get loads of kids
to all excited, like, that the parents are the ones that actually
get more excited often than the little ones. Sometimes they're like, I don't know who this
person is because you've popped out the TV and they're used to seeing you in a box and they're not used
to it, but it's the parents are going, lookthis is how they react, they're either terrified
or they're just really, really shy, really sweet.
And so, yeah, it's a funny one, obviously I go to parks more these days and I go to places
where kids are more these days.
And so...you don't dress in the, in the Safari outfit, do you? I do wear a massive shirt with my face at it saying,
that's right, it is me.
Do you go to the pub and stuff in the evening?
If I saw Mr. Tumble when I was on the piss, I think I would lose it.
It's a funny one. I mean, I'm not a massive pub goer, to be honest. I don't really go to
the pub that much. But we do go to the pub down our road, and to be honest, I've lived
around here long enough that the parents, it's quite a sort of parent-heavy area. And so a lot
of them have sort of met me anyway, and people are quite lovely, sort of, their thing about being in Kids TV, especially being on C. BBs, I think it's a really lovely sort of popular channel.
Is that we're sort of seen as like the third helper in the house.
And so people come over to it, just thank you.
It's just always so lovely.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much.
You know, you get bought drinks or let me get that. And I often I often I go to go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. And I to go. to go. to to go. to go. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, th. And, th. And, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and honestly, okay, if I could have that.
No, people are really lovely and they're quite respected as well usually if I've got, you
know, I'm with my family and stuff, but I don't mind people coming over and saying hello.
Do you ever get kids and families come up to you at like an awkward moment?
No, no I don't. Do you know what? I know I did a good while back. I was doing this show at Whipsnade, it was a dinosaur show, and I was really ill.
I was really, really ill, but you know what it's like, you can sort of doctor theater, you
could sort of just get on and do it, and then just go and sit down.
And of course you're around kids, you don't want to give kids anything, you know what I mean, if you've th you can th you can th you can th you can the th th th th th th th th and thi thi thi thi thi thi thi, if you're thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, and I thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and th..... And, and, and, and, and I th... And, and I th. And, and I th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, thin, th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. And, and, and, and, and, and don't want to give parents anything, you know what I mean? If you've got the flu or some kind of virus and anyway, and I was, it was put in this sort of open field
and so you'd sit behind the stage and but you weren't really hidden, like, but parents could
sort of like come around the side and still see you from a distance. And often, you know, when I wasn't ill, I'd go over and come and say hello, but of course when you do that, everyone comes over. So I was quite keen to just, you know, I've never
got a problem coming to say alone and whatever, but I was quite keen to sit there and not
give anything to anyone, you know what I mean? And just rest. And this family,
I mean, bless them, they had to travel quite some while. I didn't know that at the time.
But they sort of come around the side,
and they say, come and get a picture, get a picture.
So I went closer and I'm really sorry,
guys, I'm not feeling that great.
And I thought it was all okay
and they're sort of understood.
I just got a completely back, Yes, you know, for them, they've travelled all that way, they're seeing me perform and
they're thinking, why can't you just come over and have a photo?
Whereas inside I'm dying, that's the only time.
I reckon far more than comics, being a children's TV presenter, you must have to feel like
you have to be on when you're out.
Do you know what I mean? If anyone sees you, you've got to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to their, their, to their, to to to to be a tho, th th thi. their, their, thi. tho, tho, tho, thi. I'm thi, thi, thi, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. I's, their. I's, their. I's, their. I's, their. I's, they. I's, thi. I's thi. I's thin. I's thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm thin. I'm th th th th tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I'm to kind of really turn it on, I suppose. Yeah, there is an element of feeling like that.
I'll be honest, Josh, I love my job and I understand what comes with my job comes,
you know, little ones coming up to you and they come in to say hello and I'm all for it.
I've no problem with it at all. And I always go with the, I think at the beginning I was always like, oh, the, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, t th. to, th. to, to, to, to, to, th. th. th. th. th th the, I think at the beginning I was always like, oh I've got to be really smiling and really, you know, but I'm generally quite a sort of happy-go-lucky person anyway.
And so it was, it's not much of an effort.
Yeah, I see myself as a performer and so generally I'm, you know, not in a terrible mood most of the time. Did you always want to be a working kids TV? Yeah, well I say always the the, to, to, to, to, to be, to be, to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their their their their their their th.. I th. I th. I th. I th th th th th th th th th th th th thirty, their, their, their, their, their well I say always when I decided that I wanted to do it
I was really, really passionate about it. Like I wanted to be a performer. Funny, when I was
younger I went to this sort of drama club, step by step in Hornchurch. Funny enough, Sarah
Pasco used to go. Oh really? So you and Sarah went to the same drama group? What an alumni that is, yeah? We were both at college together. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I th. And, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. th. thi. I was thi. thi. th. th. I wanted to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be to be th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I wanted th. I wanted th. I was th. I wanted thi. I wanted the. I wanted the. I wanted thea. I wanted thea. I wanted thea. I wanted to to be wanted to be to be wanted to be to be wanted to be wanted to be thi. I? What an alumni that is, eh? Yeah, we were both at college together, I mean, so a long, long, long time ago.
And yeah, and I think we sort of both had one of our first jobs together as well,
the Millennium Dome. We worked at the Dome.
Oh, did you work at the Dome? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So when I got to the dome, I sort of got a job job job job at the dome and sort of doing character work and
working in the audiences and entertaining and I worked going to do TIE, theatrean education
in Italy and that was a lot with kids and I realized I loved working with kids and that it was
sort of my kind of humor really that was my that's my mental ability. I enjoyed I really enjoyed sort sort of my kind of humor, really. That was my, that's my mental ability.
I enjoyed, I really enjoyed sort of that element of it.
And I really wanted to get into kids TV from then on really.
And so me and my good friend Mikey sort of put a show real together and we were doing,
but we, I mean, it was quite sad actually, we started this thing called M&A TV. I mean, we'd actually go up to people their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that, that, that, that, th. th. I, th. I, th. I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, th. And, tha, tha, tha, tha. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, &A TV. I mean, we'd go up to people
in bars like, you know, back when we were 21 and say, you heard of M&A TV? And they go, no,
you will do.
Like, we were Mikey laughing. Obviously, we were just mucking around.
Yeah, so yeah, I did. I wanted to get in kids to. It wasn't that I wanted to get into family entertainment,
even like that, it was specifically kids.
Have you always been good with kids then
and did it like prepare you for being a dad?
I get a lot of comments before I had Ruby as well,
before we had Ruby saying,
oh, I bet you'd be such a great dad. And you sort of believe it, and then when you have your kid, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, you think, I think, I think, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thin, thin, th, like, th, th, th, to to to to to to to to to to to their, their, their, their, their, their, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the, the, the, too, too, tha, too, tha, tha, theea, thea, thea, th I can handle this, no problem. I've been in front of a camera performing to children. So when she comes along, it was a shock. Cat, I've got
to say, such an amazing mom that she sort of makes my job really easy, if that makes any sense,
do you know what I mean? It's sort of like, cat, what do we do here? Oh, we just do that, we just do that, I've just th. th. th. th. th. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, they, they, they, they, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, they. It's, they. It's, they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. th. th. they. they. they. the the they. the the the the they, when, when, when, when, when, they, the okay, yeah. And then you present yourself like you're the best dad in the world and say,
well, I think that this is what you should do in front of people.
And then they go, oh, that's wise.
And I think, yeah, I nick that from cat.
And then you have to go to work and then they'll be kids at work.
And do you, to go to work,
and then there'll be kids at work.
Well, this is the thing,
Judge, there's not kids at work, that's the thing.
You know, unless I'm doing a live show,
there's kids, but of course you're on stage
and then you're saying hello to and I used to watch them watch children's TV and they're so engaged. Like with me, people either really know me or they really don't. Do you know
me? Because unless you're a parent or unless you've got siblings that are young or nieces
and nephews and then you just won't know me. Three years ago Andy, I wouldn't have been able to
identify you at a crime scene, but now, I'll be honest, you're in my dreams. So would you say you're more famous with the parents and the kids
then? Yeah, it's a funny one, but because I've been on there for 14 years as well, I guess some of
the parents have sort of grown, like I had an 18-year-old come up to me in a festival, in a festival, when I used to watch to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to I used to watch you as a kid, I was like, what? How old are you? She said 18, I said, no, that can't be true, because for me it feels like yesterday.
You do forget it goes so quick. I'm saying to Kat the other day, you just, you remember things
in seasons. I tend to anyway. Like for this year, I can't remember anything that I've done that's different. We started doing PE with Joe at the very beginning.
We were like, yes, come on, we're gonna get really fit and do it.
And it was quite nice to have the routine.
Of course, week five, he's sort of like,
ah, where is it, is lockdown over yet?
Where is it, is lockdown? to their, I think, I'm quite proud of quite........ I'm quite. I'm quite. I'm quite. I'm quite. I'm proud. I'm proud. I'm quite proud. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a. to to to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to. to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to have to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the the the the the the th the the the. the the. the the the the. the to the to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to massaged the numbers. Do you worry when your daughter goes to school
that that school is going to really lean on you to do loads of stuff for them? Like if I was
running a school and Andy Day was in the parents lineup, you'd be being pulled in for everything.
Stummer Fair, Christmas play, every charity event you'd be there at the photo call. Are you worried
about that?
Well, it is quite funny because my little one just started to go to nursery.
And one of the first things when the, I suppose the head teacher or the person who runs
it sort of recognized as to who I was.
And she basically said, well, we do loads of fundraising, would you be interested? Oh, hang on oh, hang on. No, this is even before she got into the nursery.
I thought, well, we're definitely going to get into this nursery then.
And to be fair, you know what, to be fair, it is a great nursery.
And I'd be happy to do something to sort of raise money.
This sounds like I'm saying it just to be like I genuinely genuinely would, it's like if I could do something, it's great. It's great, nice to be in that situation. We probably a little, you know, could do a story read, you know, for kids and it would get
a bit of attention and maybe raise a bit of cash, which is a really simple thing for me
to do.
When you were growing up, did you watch kids TV? But like, who were the people that you related to now? the way the way the the the the the the the th. th. th. Who th. Who th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. to, to, to, th. to, th. th. to, th. thate. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, to, to, to, to, to now the way that kids relate to you. Like if you saw Trevor and
Simon around the BBC would you have the same reaction that people would have
to you? Well I did actually I did meet Trevor and Simon and I did have that sort
of reaction. Oh my word I do remember you as a kid and Trevor and Simon weren't
weren't the ones I watched as much actually it was more sort of Philip Schofield. And but I used to love you know things like the the the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. to to to to to their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. the their. the their. their. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. te. te. te. te. te. te. th. th. the the th. the the th. the same same same. the same. the same. the the th watched as much actually. It was more sort of Philip Schofield. And but I used to love, you know, things like, the programs,
Round the Twist and...
I loved around the twist.
There was a program called Green Clause.
Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about Green Claws.
And so I used to watch, like, Inspector Gadgett and I'd be... But I don't remember preschool stuff because I don't think there was that...
I don't think that really was. Like what C. Bibi's does now, it didn't feel like it existed
when I was a kid. No. I mean, children's TV has changed beyond recognition. Oh, completely changed,
yeah. Do you ever get people out and about on the street that would just shout your name.
But sometimes I just get blokes in vans and shouted cockney horse. Cockney horse, it's so degraded. Why cockney horse? It's not because you're famous, Robert.
That was just a general point. They just saw you and thought you're a cockney horse.
That people do call me Dinosaur Andy. They go, oh, it's dinosaur Andy.
Or sometimes, sometimes just the dinosaur man, because putting Andy in the title is not not enough for them to remember the name.
Do people always ask you what Mr Tumble's like? Yes all the time. Yeah I get about Jimmy Car.
People are absolutely obsessed with what Jimmy Car's like and I think it's the same with Justin.
I guess it's because he's quite controversial and he's in I don't know, why would people ask about Jimmy Carr?
Oh, I thought you meant Justin.
I was going to say, he's controversial.
I'm not across the news.
How do you, how do you answer the question when it's asked?
I go, mum, did you just call me?
What?
I've got to go. No, I always asked to say, you know, I've the same, I've the same, I've the same, I've to say, I've to say, I've, I've, I've, I've, I've, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, the, the, the, th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi, th th th th th th to, th to, to, th to, th to, to, to, to, I, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to the same, you know, I've known just for, well, since I first started,
he's always, he's a lovely guy, he's passionate about what he does, he's very, very funny.
He's really interesting, his dad was, well, sort of was, is Guy Fletcher, he's a very
famous song writer, actually used to write for Cliff Richard and, and Elvis, he wrote for Elvis. Yeah, and his sister's a news and weather reporter, he used to be, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, to be, he, he, he, he, he, he, to be, he, he, to be, he, he, he, he, he, to be, he, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's to, he's to, to, to, to, th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. He's th. thi. to, he's thi. He's to, he's thi. He's to, he's to, he wrote for Elvis one. Yeah, and his sister's a news and weather reporter used to be anyway.
So he's sort of quite a successful family and he's, you know, he's got his sort of passions about slapstick
and sort of old silent movies and, which probably comes out in his performance I would say. I think he's absolutely brilliant. I also think like, you know, people think that that kind of stuff is just, I think you get this with comedy as well. I imagine, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I thi thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thus, thus, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi also think like, you know, people think that that kind of stuff is just,
I think you get this with comedy as well. I imagine you find this, that people presume because what you're doing
is like fun and larking around, that you don't kind of think about it or have to kind of take it seriously?
And do you have that like, is there lots of serious discussions going around the cameras about what I think we need to do it because that's how comedy is and people probably don't imagine it is like that. Yeah I guess there is a sort of a lot of work done
before certainly with the programs that you do that you know you want to put across something
in the best way possible and it's just it's not just kind of going on going, you know
you know there is some work to it. It's true, you want it to look effortless.
And when things look effortless, people think,
oh, I could do that.
They've made that look really easy,
so it's easy to do.
And do you want to present TV or stuff outside of kids' entertainment?
There's sort of been offers of doing more mainstream adult
for natural history program. You just mean for grown-ups by adult, don't you?
You're not.
Yeah.
That's exactly right, I mean, and I'd definitely be up for, you know, I'm sort of one of those
people that if it feels right at the time, then I'll definitely go for it.
I've never, as such had a plan. I mean, I suppose most of my energy these
days is in with the band. We've put a lot of work and a lot of effort into getting out there as
much as possible and I'm writing music. I love to write music and I love performing with a live band.
It's just awesome. And to sort of do songs as well that aren't just for kids, they're for family.
They're for everyone. It's a bit of a Panto audience really. And so yeah, we've sort of been concentrating more on that, which is sort of aged up a bit.
It's more for CBBC age.
It's a bit sort of monkeys meets mighty bush type of feel to it.
So I'm sort of edging up.
But do you know what, guys, I love doing preschool TV.
I really do.
And if I can keep working, doing the thing that I love, whatever time, then I've always been thankful enough to be able to do it. 14 years as well. I mean, that is a very, that's a huge kind of vote of confidence for
how good you are, I think.
Well, there's a lot of longevity in preschool TV as well.
And do you know what, I've got to say that the guys that make the Adventures Program
are just absolutely brilliant about it and it's such a great team.
And with the two and a half year old at Christmas, how are you feeling about that? Are you are you going for it? Does she know what's happening? That's quite an age where it's kind of
borderline, right? I'm really excited about we've literally, I mean, every night, I'll do bedtime
times, thate times. And every night Ruse wants a made-up story so I give her three
made-up stories.
Three made-up stories, come on Andy.
I could barely be bothered to read one that someone else has written.
But Rob, you haven't heard the quality of these stories, but actually it's guided mostly
by Ruby. He was obsessed at the moment with people falling over and her putting a plaster on someone's leg.
So every story that I tell,
and it's usually at the moment about Father Christmas and the elves,
and they need help and so Ruby needs to go and goes
over to the North Pole and takes over one of the reindeer's jobs
and flies around the well and and Ruby gives him a plaster
and he feels better.
And I go yeah, yeah, and Father Christmas falls over, feels better, puts a plaster on there
and anyway it gets to the and and the reindeer falls over then?
I mean, yes Ruby.
Wow, three made up stories.
Are you aware of Julia Donaldson, Andy? It would change your life. Oh, mate. No, no, Wow, three made up stories.
Are you aware of Julia Donaldson, Andy?
It would change your life.
Oh, mate, no, honestly, I've read so many Julia Donut.
I absolutely love a book, it's absolutely amazing.
And what it is, it's more when it got into the sort of winter months.
And there's a method to my mind, it's because I can't see the words on the book. And we want her to go to sleep. So it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it's th. th. It's th. It's th. It's to to to thi, it's, it's, it's to be, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's. And, it's. And, to be. And, to be. And, to be. And, to be. And, to be. to be. to be to be to be, to to be, to me. to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, to me, the the to me, the the to my mind is because I can't see the words on the book and we want her to go
sleep. So we turn the lights out as much of possible. And so I was getting fed up with trying
to make up the story of the book. Whereas actually she knew the story because I'd read it loads of times.
It's very hard to paraphrase room on the broom. I say it's not that hard. You can make it up because you roughly know the story.
But it's never as good when you're making it up.
It's much better reading it.
And the thing is you can't see the words when it's dark.
So that's where it started.
I was going to start making up these stories.
We do we do read to her quite a lot. she's a big advocate of reading. Does she watch much kids TV?
Or do you have rules on how much TV
she can watch and stuff like that?
Yeah, we never ever offer the TV on.
We never say, oh, do you want to watch TV?
Mainly, we'll try and get her to play.
And then sometimes she'll play on her own.
Sometimes she just wants to sit there and chill and watch TV. So we're not too too too too too too too to watch loads thankfully yeah she watches Andy in the band quite a lot actually which is
quite a nice and she does watch a she we've got like these little dinosaur
figurines and she does and she does bring the dinosaurs out every now and she
go watch daddy adventures which is lovely which is so lovely to see and some of these
these programs is all sometimes I've never seen, and I go, oh, I was doing that.
What I was, I was looking at that was I?
And we often put on the Christmas shows as well,
which she loves, like Hansel and Gretel, she loves that one.
And what's on her, because I think small children's Christmas lists are inherently bizarre. Have you got a Christmas list that you've written of
what she wants to father Christmas? Do you know she's she's written a list?
Automatically you want to say she's checking it twice. Yeah you did it feel like
one of us did to do it. So she's written a list and she wants a puzzle, a small elephant
and I think quite quite minimal things actually quite nice thing. You're on a winner there mate. So it's not too bad. too too too too too too too too too too too too too bad too bad too bad too bad too too bad too too bad too too bad too too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad too bad. So too bad. So too bad. So too bad. So too bad to to the the th. She's a the the thi thi thi's thi thi's the the the the the the the thi. She's thi. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's th. She's thi. She's thi's thi's thi's thi's thi's to to thi thi to thi thi thi thi thi thi thi's wooooooo. She's written thi's written thi's things actually, quite nice thing.
You're on a winner there mate.
Yeah, so it's not too bad why what would your little one?
Mom wanted a trampoline, it's gonna be a nightmare building it on my own.
Josh, your daughter don't want anything. She got everything she wanted when she
cleaned you out the dummy fairy. Yeah, she cleaned up on the dummies thuys man. Rob, you always like to to to to to to to to to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask to ask the same to ask the same the same the same the same to ask to ask the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same the same their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the. tre. true. true. true. true. true. true. tome. tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow their their the same question at the end.
We always like to ask the same question part of Crosby's law.
What is the thing that your partner does that really irritate you that you'd love them to
stop doing but you haven't mentioned it yet. This is your opportunity to get it off your
chest. What you're saying Andy? Hang on a minute guys. I haven't even married this girl yet. There's every chance you can still say no.
If I come up with, what do I?
Look, Kat has done a lot of research when it comes to it.
And I think, I'm all for research.
She's also like, you know, very spontaneous.
And this is not just me going, oh, she's great.
I don't want to get in trouble.
It's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's brilliant, she's she's she's brilliant she's got very good sort of instincts.
Sometimes though, you know, when Ruby is doing something and I was sort of going no Ruby I was not like that she goes, oh man, you can't don't just say no, explain to her why
and it makes me go, okay I'll explain it to you. I mean I'm in a moment of sort of just just
just no. You know what I mean, I'm in a moment of sort of just, just no, you know what I mean?
Come on, calm, because she's really calm.
And I'm calm, 90% of the time.
There's a 10% where I'm going, no, you're not going to dictate what you're going to be doing and what you want me to be doing.
I'm going to tell you. But as she goes, well, if you want it to be really understood and comprehended, then you need to say a bit more like this.
And so it's a sort of double-edged sword because I know she's right.
That's the thing.
I know she's right because I've done it on her advice and gone,
oh yeah, that works. This is much better. She's just that bit, you know, it's a communication thing. But it's just a little a little a little, you's just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you're just a little, you, you, you're just a little, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a th.

it's just that bit that I've sort of reacted and it's like when you're a kid
and and and your parent has gone don't do that or something like that and

That was Andy Day. Let's just call him Andy.
Yes. It confuses me when we say his name. Andy that's who it is. It refuses me when he says surname. Andy, Andy, Andy, that was Andy. Madhash, these are all people you
don't need the surname of. Thank you Andy he was absolutely brilliant. The
CBBC Christmas extravaganza. The name slightly escapes me but we have said it.
I've seen it. It's absolutely excellent it's basically basically just C-Bibbys more, you know,
slay bills.
Exactly, it's all the best bits of C-Bibbys in one show.
You can watch it on I-player.
Thank you for listening.
We will be back Christmas Day, a special episode you can listen to while you make your
Christmas dinner or whatever you want. Yes. Because if you're
if this has meant that you're locked down on your own, then for 45 minutes you can listen to us
complaining. Yeah, exactly. Listen to us on Christmas Day moaning and then you realize how nice it is,
your house is nice and quiet. We're like the shrieking children.
Exactly. Anyway, I'll speak to, we'll speak to each other, Christmas Day.
See you then.
Cheers. Bye.
