When I was younger I had a tikabilla toy and when the batteries were low in a really deep and slow voice it would go tikkkkkkkabbbilllllaaaaahhh tikabillllllah
HonestPhanThings I had the tikabilla toy lol. And years later we found it and still working so we gave it to my cousin and she got absolutely terrified lol
I remember in reception someone thought they were in it, so the class watched several hours worth. They weren't in it. Good job I loved the show though
Omg I'm going to cry childhood memories so so sad miss this so much the good old bloody days for tv programmes gone crap today cbeebies had loved it back then
I remember an episode where they were talking about favourite colours and they were talking about turquoise and Tamba called it tortoise and I found that so funny 😂
Nostalgia is definitely something understandable. For me, I wasn't the biggest fan of this show, still not. I think it does the original source material (Play School) injustice. However, two of the presenters, Beverly Hills and Paul Ewing, I do enjoy, some of the stuff like Bonny Banana and Moe is quite fun, and the theme song is a little catchy. But, in sheer honesty, all the other presenters were absolutely nothing like the original cast of Play School, Tamba completely destroys the one on one relationship the presenters need to capture with the audience, and the music is all terrible GarageBand sounding tracks as supposed to studio musicians like we had with Play School. Have you by any chance heard of Play School? It aired from 1964-1988 on BBC2, and it's where Tikkabilla got the windows, clock and its general format from.
@@RandomGuy-qh7tl I’ve possibly heard my parents mention it, as for the soundtrack and presenter dynamic, it worked for the target audience, 2-6 year olds, which I was at the time so I don’t really have an opinion on it,
@@rachelx04 Okay. I respect what you have to say about that, but to do a comparison, I'll provide you with an edition of Play School. Once you finish watching it, you wouldn't mind telling me what you think about it. m.ruclips.net/video/i_bJlG4BAsc/видео.html The presenters here are Chloe Ashcroft and Derek Griffiths, with a lovely story read by James Blades. Listen to how Chloe and Derek talk to the camera firstly, then compare it with say Sarah-Jane Honeywell and Justin Fletcher from the remake.
@@rachelx04 Unfortunately, not many editions of "Play School" are online, well, the original BBC series anyhow. And not many survive in general. I believe that there used to be thousands of programs, now only 1,900 survive in terms of the original run.
Tikkabilla, tikkabilla Fun for you and me Tikkabilla, tikkabilla Watch and you will see Things to do, people to meet We've got the whole wide world at our feet And tikkabilla, tikkabilla It's a wonderful place to be
When it came on CBeebies, it made me and my sister smile. Sarah-Jane, Justin & Tamba presenting the show until halfway of the runtime we get to watch "Higgledy House". Nostalgia hits me so hard! 🥲
I spent YEARS trying to find this and I couldn't I clicked on a guess the old tv shows and this came on I phisically cried I was so happy I was so sad I forgot what it was called. All I could remember from the show was the children and the rainbow and the house and the puppet andni remember making a trombone but it wouldn't come up with it no matter how hard I searched it only came up with play school I'm so happy rn
Tikkabilla, Come Outside, Kerwhizz, Our Planet, Big C Little C, Higgledy-piggledy house, Mr Bloom's nursery, The Adventures of Abney and Teal are nice shows
That was the issue. Nobody who worked on Play School worked on this programme apart from Simon Davies, who hosted both this and Play School in the late 1980s. This is a quote from Simon that can be found in television historian Paul R. Jackson's book series about Play School, "Here's A House", "I did have the honour of being, if not the very last, then one of the last presenters to utter those immortal words 'which window are we looking through today?' on Play School and I was the very first presenter to utter the same phrase 16 years later when I presented the first episode of Tikkabilla for CBeebies in 2002. (To some a Play School clone). Though there were lots of similarities between the two series (The clock, the windows, the stories and songs), for me there was one striking difference; Tikkabilla was made 'rehearse-record' not 'as-live'. So you rehearsed each sequence, and then recorded it. If it went wrong, you stopped and recorded it again and again until it was perfect. So the energy of the programme was linear. It was like so many programmes these days, all in the same gear. It didn't have the dynamic, the life that Play School had." So essentially, Simon; the Brian Cant of Tikkabilla, the Play School veteran, the lead host, didn't even think the programme had the original charm that the source material did. When your main host is calling the remake crap, you're doing something wrong. If they had some of the producers on Play School take part, or if they had some more hosts like Iain Lauchlan or Floella Benjamin take part, I doubt Tikkabilla would've been as terrible as it became.
This show was really just a more washed down, happy-dappy, less charming remake of the BBC kids classic Play School, which ran from 1964-1988. It's one of those unnecessary reboots that didn't even need to be a reboot. It could've been its own unique thing
The nostalgia is hitting me rn

Omg I'm going to cry childhood memories so so sad miss this so much the good old bloody days for tv programmes gone crap today cbeebies had loved it back then
That rainbow looks like something that would give those kids a seizure.
This song is now planted in my head! I'm off to Finland this summer and going through Tikkerlia Station. This song, it won't go! 😂😂😂
My childhood! I just looked this up for old times sake & it brings back so many memories.
How do I still know the words
Shuhayma Jaber Same here 😂 Maybe cos it was iconic

Tikkabilla was my favourite Cbeebies childhood show. Justin Fletcher was my favourite presenter from the show
I Remember Coming Home From School To Watch This Show! Oh... The Good Old days!
I remember an episode where they were talking about favourite colours and they were talking about turquoise and Tamba called it tortoise and I found that so funny 😂

I used to not wake up early enough to watch this it was on at 7am and my mum wouldn’t let me watch tv that early ahaha
Antonia Luckily, I’m an early bird! 🤣 I used to wake up at 05:30 /06:00 AM every weekend to watch this on CBeebies
I remember watching this so much when I was little and I remember when it use to cut to higgledy house halfway through with Justin and Sarah Jane
I remember waking up early in the morning with my mum on the bed watching Tikkabilla in my nursery, reception and my 2 year old times.
This was my childhood. I watched it every morning
Sophie Mcdowell Same 😢
I always used to find this intro so satisfying
I havent scene that in years tbh I forgotten all about it I just searched up Justin from cbeebies and this was there
I remember watching this show when I was a child.
When it came on CBeebies, it made me and my sister smile. Sarah-Jane, Justin & Tamba presenting the show until halfway of the runtime we get to watch "Higgledy House". Nostalgia hits me so hard! 🥲
I have not seen this show in years lol, only vaguely remember seeing this on CBeebies around 12-14 years ago or so
I spent YEARS trying to find this and I couldn't I clicked on a guess the old tv shows and this came on I phisically cried I was so happy I was so sad I forgot what it was called. All I could remember from the show was the children and the rainbow and the house and the puppet andni remember making a trombone but it wouldn't come up with it no matter how hard I searched it only came up with play school I'm so happy rn
I have the strongest memory of watching this at my Gran's
My childhood memories
I miss the show
the best aspect of the show is the music, IMO.
Tikkabilla, Come Outside, Kerwhizz, Our Planet, Big C Little C, Higgledy-piggledy house, Mr Bloom's nursery, The Adventures of Abney and Teal are nice shows
I love Justin in this show and I wish I could be in it with him 😁😊❤
So nastolgic, lemme cryy
When you realise this show was just the worst version of playschool, but we all still watched it
That was the issue. Nobody who worked on Play School worked on this programme apart from Simon Davies, who hosted both this and Play School in the late 1980s.

i miss this show
I grew up with this.
Ahhh nostalgia
The nostalgia
This show is apparently so obscure RUclips doesn't recognise it as for kids. That saddens me a bit 😢
I like this themesong
I remember watching Tikkabilla.
the theme tune is catchy
Iyanu Oriakhi yeah
ik
memories of when i was tiny!! omg :)
Here's a fun fact: One of the hosts say a noun in sign language so deaf people can understand.
Cbeebies lost most of the good old shows
The nostalgia hit me like a truck.
I remember watching this with my son when he was little
omg the memories!! my mum use to record this every morning so i wouldn't miss it!
Hibbie A, we found out
Reminds me of Theme from Doodle Do
