# Having just watched an episode, I can confirm it's really good.

# I didn't like his voice
and it upset me that they talked in rhyme.

# The bloke doing the voice is a radio 1 extra DJ. Approved by the author of the original books. As was every aspect of the programme.
And what? You're upset by children's stories being told in rhyme? Weren't you exposed to Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, Sesame Street as a kid?
And you cursed my family for 1000 generations last night, because I'd failed to pick up on a Radiohead reference?
Mofaha, I think you're objecting to some of the wrong things. Let's have a silly spat on a Guardian food blog one day soon!
In the meantime, laugh at my picture, y'sod.

# Hahahaha
I just downloaded the album by the way. I need some time to let it sink in.
Yes, Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, Sesame Street! I've got lots of time for all three of those, particularly Spike (although I also had his book of manic-depressive poetry when I was a kid, I think it may have poisoned my mind a bit). He was a fucking genius though in my opinion.
But the kind of rhymey story delivery of Rastamouse reminds me too much of Rupert The Bear, which I hate for some reason, grrr.
Oh and no, let's not have a food fight on the Guardian website, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't understand at all. We'd just get a bunch of self-righteous indignation heaped on us :)

# As Serge Gainsbourg might once have said, "What is life without self-righteous indignation? It is like a car fuck in the rain without a policeman banging tiredly on the roof with his torch."
Rhymes are good. Yes, even Rupert That Bear. I promise you this is true.

# I coincidentally watched an episode of it this evening
and it really was delightful. I'd really love to have heard the meeting where they pitched it to the BBC execs, though.

# Unusually, CBBC's commissioner approached the author in this case. A serious case of "What's not to like?"

Although reading the youtube comments shows some sorry idiots could find things not to like.
(And I know, reading youtube comments is bad for the soul, but it's easy to get sucked in)

# Yes
some commenters on the Guardian site were complaining about racial stereotyping. Some of them had a problem with the use of patois. Seriously, what the fuck is up with people.

# One good thing about growing up in Brum was the reggae. It was part of the furniture.
The extent of reggae bafflement I sometimes find outside the Brum bubble baffles me.

# I like the animation
but I didn't understand what they were saying most of the time. It seems to be in some strange foreign dialect/patois.

# I like it when lenny henry read the books on jackonory junior a few years back.
Liking the style on the new animation as well, nice simple stories and not to busy for young ones.

Hs to explain to mrs thor that it was based of childrenss story books.

# I think Rastamouse is excellent
The only thing I can see wrong with it is "everyting jus' keep gettin' teef up!" They should come up with some different storylines to remain "P.C" enough to continue.

Big up Easy Krew!! brrrap!
