Channel R – The Wiggles

They are THE biggest thing in  Aussie kids entertainment, have toured the US and even played The Helix here last year. The only reason they’re not as big as Barney in Ireland is that RTE have never run them (shame on you TV people) and anyone here who knows them sees them on Sky.

My little girl developed a long running fixation with them a while back. The sketches are typical kids fare (although, unlike most kids stuff it won’t make you want to knife someone in children’s entertainment after the hundredth viewing). The songs, however, are the real cheese here. Surprisingly addictive and, I’m sure, the subject of many a late night drunken karaoke session with students…
