I'm 23 and Balamory was probably the only recurring children's show throughout my entire primary school life. I remember it would always start a few mins before the bus would arrive outside my house. I rarely caught the full episodes but the intro and character songs remain etched into my brain.
@@declangaming24 We visited shortly after they stopped filming. My son and daughter have severe autism and not much speech. But my son used to sing the balamory theme tune when we went down the front. My daughter was obsessed with the yellow house and looking for Josy jump. The family who lived in the green house got so fed up of people walking into they're home it was turned into a hotel. Might be why filming was stopped.
@@Justabitnosey yeah that's why but I don't get it the production company's where using there houses with there permission. Also CBBies went down hill when they got rid of gigglebiz made something special not as fun with the where all friends thing also grampa in my pocket got ruined because they made the kid older and not a 10 year English kid not being offensive or anything it sucks with them new kids. Also why would you get rid of gigglebiz the show where Justin played every character.
I'm 25 and the nostalgia is hitting me so hard I want to cry 🥲 I remember so many mornings and afternoons curlrd up on the sofa with my brothers, eating jam sandwiches and watching Balamory on CBeebies. As a disabled person, I especially loved the disability and diverse racial representation,. Felt so natural. It was definitely ahead of its time :')
My son is 17 tomorrow and is autistic. He always goes back to watching Balamory. PC Plum as his favourite character and his songs too. But he loves the show no matter what. Shows how deep that went. Even I know the songs and words
I have a 19 year old who was Balamory super fan. She still knows all the words to the songs. We went to Glasgow transport museum and they had the bus, pc plums bike and spencer tricycle on display. I was definitely more excited than my daughter at the time.
Watched it with my daughter when she was tiny she's 17 now.... Last September I was touring Scotland on my motorbike and booked a sailing to Mull so I could see the place for myself. If you're up that way visiting I definitely recommend it.
Balamory introduced my, now teenagers, to story writing/telling long before they reached school age. Such a great preliteracy program for youngsters. The house and character colours, the problem to solve, the solution and the recounting all played important segments. Plus it introduced my Australian family to different children’s names, backgrounds, abilities and the gorgeous Scots accents. Thank you for broadcasting this wee reunion. Condolences on the loss of the lovely ‘Susie Sweet‘ Mary Riggans in 2013.
Omg why have they not aged?! My son watched this as a toddler and now 19 looks almost older than they do. Balamory is legendery they made this so catchy i got involved with singing and dancing..
I could listen to Julie/ Miss Hoolie's accent all day. In fact when my kids were young I probably did! I suspect Balamory was switched on for my enjoyment more than theirs!
I loved this show. My son grew up with it, we have the entire box set and I grieved the day I realized he'd out grown it. Truth be told, I watched it after he stopped. All the characters were fantastic. Years later, when Mary Riggans (Suzie Sweet) died, I cried. We've lived a lot of places, but this was the best child show on tv. Their accents are still amazing (love a Scottish accent!)
Remember in primary school all us kids who were a bit old for Balamory would sing "what's the story in Balamory wouldn't you like to know? NO!!". Always thought most kids were secretly watching it when their wee brother or sister had it on on the telly though 😂
I'm 35 and i remember it coming on screen and my little sister watched that and tweenies..she's 23 now and still to this day when I see coloured houses I say are we in balamory
Same I feel like every late 90s and 2000s kid in uk and scotland has watched it. I am 17 now and looking back on the good old cbeebies times is so good man
Always woke up early as a kid just to watch this show and then my sister would watch it when they kept re-showing the episodes! Man this show brings back childhood memories!
I'm 35 so I was too old for this at the time but my nearly 13 year old loved watching. It was on all the time. I will need to show it to my 5 & 7 year old now.
My children loved this programme. Pc plum being their favorite, and mine of I'm honest . I remember, Andrew , being in pantomime in Bromley.. I stood outside after the show, just so I could meet him and get his autograph for my youngest son . This panto , I went to 3 times . He was a true gentleman, and talked to each and everyone of us x
I remember the same thing happened at Malvern theatres only when he found out me and my siblings have autism he invited us and our parents to the green room for a special meet and greet with him he also brought us a drink and snack and I remember him saying he had fallen in love with the area and still to this day has a holiday home in the area!
Gosh I remember watching Balamory when I was a child, When it first aired I was only 6 years old, I'm 26 now, I was so addicted to this amazing program, Always looked forward to watching this when I either came home from nursery or from school, My parents always put balamory on for me because they new I loved it, But this wasn't my favourite tv show, My parents told me that I sat and watched Andy Pandy for a very long time, my nan who is in her 60's still calls me andy pandy and it's the best feeling ever, Makes my inner child want to come out and watch it again, Whoever tells you that you're to old to watch cartoons, well they're wrong, you're never to old to watch cartoons you loved, thank you for making us happy and they waa the best 20 years in our past
Brilliant memories of my daughters first TV show that taught her so much. She starts uni this month which tells you how long Balamory has had an impact for.
Omg I feel so old Balamory was childhood cause I’m quarter Scottish too so it was a great programme to watch lovely to see Julie and Andrew ❤️ I’m 21 years old now and have been wanting to watch it again just to relive being a child again 😂
I was born in 1998, so grew up a lot with this show always on and I loved it. One of my favourite shows I watched when I was a kid. happy anniversary 20 years and will always hold a special place in my childhood memory
20 years ago..bloody hell!! I remember 30 of us about 18 years ago, ages between 17 and over 40 in tenby and Saundersfoot in s/w wales during the summer on the beer signing this all day long lol brings back some brilliant memories
@@Nymbusangel bring them 2 and the ones that don't have records or have died and replace them with Justin fletcher and others it would fun to have a balamory/gigglebiz crossover for nostalgia sake.
I love the range of different ages that people watch kids TV shows like this, from people like me who are now teenagers or young adults, to the parents, to people like my little cousins who watched it on a dvd, sort of brings people together with the memories
I’m 30 next week, so I’m older than most who remember this. But my brothers and sisters used to watch it, and it reminds me of better times. It’s crazy how powerful nostalgia can be :(
I remember watching this on Cbeebies... Now this is the Blue's Clues in my POV (cuz I've changed alot while Miss Hoolie and the others are having some fun).
2 years later and it's been announced that it'll return to our screens which is great for the current generation of kids to watch the kind of shows their parents grew up with
