A close friend once told me I look like him… I’m not sure if that was a compliment or not?
Edit: As an aside Higgledy House doesn’t get mentioned as much as it should, Fletcher being a modern Oliver Hardy is perfection.
He’s put in a great shift in fairness.
Enjoy your break, King
I hear Mr Tumble is retiring too so a big loss!
I thought this was an RIP post at first…
Please don’t let it turn out to be because he’s a nonce
Bro this dude raised me more than any of my primary schools
It looks like he’s stepping back rather than stepping aside. Something special will still have Mr. Tumble and three new presenters will be joining the team. This was announced a little while ago.
I was always very grateful to him and the BBC for making Something Special, a programme aimed at children with delayed learning and communication skills.
It had a lot of Makaton sign language in it, and a lot of positive tools and lessons, and was a really, really useful show in helping various people in my life.
Gigglebiz was the last of the great British sketch comedies. No, I will not expand further.
Shame about him leaving, my kids are both Teenagers but they loved him.
That article though is awful, my typing is shocking but at least I know to use a spellchecker!
Edit- spelling error ironically
He’s an absolute legend of kid’s TV. Well done Justin. One of the few people whose hand I’d genuinely want to shake if I met them.
‘steps aside’
Eh?
I used to do a pretty good impression of him, maybe I can take over
Paddy McGuiness is taking over… probably, he’s on everything else.
Man has an ELITE manager
Moved to UK and had a kid here. Spent a good chunk of the last year watching him on cbeebies. Great performer and an absolute legend.
My wife and I shout “who’s at the door, who’s at the door?! Someone better answer it” every time the doorbell rings now.
Used to hate him with a fiery passion when we had cbeebies on for what felt like 22 hours a day.
Rapids Johnson is a treasure. I still laugh when I think about him getting a cup of tea out of a tree.
Love you Justin, Thanks for your great work, may you find great happiness in the future.
Of all the output on CBeebies, I find him to be the most annoying
Just for tots at butlins will never be the same without him.
Fun fact. His dad wrote the theme tune for Bertha..
Found out the voice Jake from the Tweenies the other day. Do with that information what you will.
Huw Edwards was a supposed legend also 👀
The show is great, very inclusive and talking about important things for children. I’m not sure how much of it is down to Justin, but he totally deserves credit for playing a part in it (the biggest one).
Now the bad bit… As an actor, I don’t think he is very good. To me, it always felt forced and you could see he was trying to act a certain character, instead of being it. Rober the robot was amazing in contrast.
I know people will hate it, but it’s my opinion…
At least we still got Mr Tumble. I’m sure they will miss one another .
Get him the knighthood
Also the voice of Shaun the Sheep
Big nonce vibe about the guy can’t shake it.
Nonce
Justin Fletcher to my kids is what the likes of Derek Griffiths, Brian Cant, Tony Hart etc were to me. Legends
He taught my daughter sign language, enjoy retirement mr tumble.
He was awarded an MBE in 2008. I reckon it’s past time for an upgrade.
Gutted Mr Tumble is retiring but hoping Lord Tumble and Cliff Tumble will keep working for a few years yet.

“How did that gobshite get on the television?!”
I’ve since mellowed towards him significantly
Children’s presenter > MBE > retires unexpectedly >……………………..Nonce.
