I’m sat here watching CBeebies with my son and Chris Jarvis is on. I assumed it was a re-run from the 90’s but this bloke just hasn’t aged. I nearly choked on my rich tea – he was born in 1969. What the what!?

How? Wrong answers only please

  1. You know Otis the Aardvark? Ed The Duck? The Leprechauns? He ate them all. It gave him powers.

  2. He’s a ghost that haunts one of the toys, probably the one in the tree.

  3. Is that the woman from The Suite Life or Zack and Cody?

  4. Kids who watch age more quickly. Chris transfers his age to the viewers, shedding weeks with each broadcast.

  5. He looked like that in 2004! Is that Pui with him?? She hasn’t aged either if it is.

  6. Hurray, hurray, for Teddington’s marching band!

  9. Option A – He bathes in the blood of young runaways

    Option B – He has a hideously gruesome picture in his attic

  10. I remember watching this with my kid one day and they were unironically staging an “air biscuit rescue”, saving Teddington from a high place with a flying oversized jammie dodger. I did wonder if they had a brainstorming session of “what can we shoehorn in to make the parents laugh today”

  11. “Imagine, imagine, imagine you’re a fluttering cunt!”

  13. He sleeps in a giant Tupperware box each night; to seal in his freshness… 👀

  14. He attends the same secret rituals as Andi Peters (1970)

  16. Wait until you see Fred Harris who presented kids tv like Play School in the early 80s. He’s 81 and hasn’t changed a bit.

  17. Do you think Pui takes her Po costume into the bedroom?

  19. It’s the same with Angelica Bell. I saw her on TV recently and was really confused because I was sure I remembered seeing this twenty-something woman on CBBC over 20 years ago. Turns out she’s 48 but looks exactly the same.

  21. Sorry, the 90s? Are you sure this show was *that* old? I’m pretty sure I remember when this show started. And CBeebies didn’t launch until about three months after my birth.

  26. He’s Robert the robot now and I’m amazed how much like your previous mana voice he gets his own. I wish show me show me came back. I loved that back when my sister then my friends kid watched it then my own. Still hum imagine imagine imagine lol

  30. Our Lord and Savior, Dave Benson Philips was born in 1965. Hasnt aged since 1992.

  36. The skin was flayed off his body as a single piece, which is now worn by similar sized, much cheaper apprentice employees.

  38. Aw this brings so many memories. This was a really good kids program as it taught kids how to play with their toys and ‘imagine!’

  39. A genuinely good guy. My daughter’s dance school performed in panto with him, and my wife was a dresser for the production. From what my wife said, and my girls, he was a terrifically supportive “star” who was kind and patient with all the performers particularly the amateur support. And, at the end of the run, he took everyone out for a meal at Maccy D’s which the children loved.

  40. I remember watching him with my eldest. We were watching the new pantomime and he was on there looking ageless.
    Surely he must be in league with Satan and/or lead a good life.
    Either way aging me is raging.
