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.

HahahahaI 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.

"This lamp belongs in a museum!
If you've got more, I'd love to see 'em."
The fairy said: "Enough tedium!
That tool will split my perineum!"
