Welcome to Mr Tumble's greatest (only??!) Fansite!

Uhoh ... there's trouble in Tumble Land!
There are two things which seem to have upset some Little Tumblers about Mr T's latest outings...firstly, Justin has cut his hair short (the exact opposite of me - I'm growing mine for the Download Festival, although some say it's mid-life crisis having just turned forty!) so Mr Tumble is now looking more like an army recruit than a friendly childrens entertainer!
Secondly, he's not singing his hello and goodbye songs the same as before - causing teary eyes!
Let us know what you all think on our message page and we'll let Mr T have your feedback...

We've had a really cool message from fellow Tumbler Nikki :
"We recently met Justin at the Doncaster's Yorkshire Wildlife Trust opening day on the 4th April. I was completely amazed how nice and patient he was with all the children (there must have been over 200). He sat with every child, they had their photo taken and he gave every one of them an autograph. He came across as a genuinely caring and nice man. Both of my children are absolutely crazy about him and my 2 year old hasn't stopped talking about meeting him.
The Wildlife Park also has a website and there is a link showing Justin opening the park:

Well what a mad week last week was! Many many thanks for all your fantastic support for Cerrie Burnell. We knew we could rely on Mr Tumble fans!
I don't suppose we could ask for one more favour? As part of our day jobs we scour the 'net for products, services and information for clients...and we could do with your feedback on some things we thought you would find interesting. Head over to the 'Special Features' page, and please drop us a line with your thoughts (especially if you treat yourself to something!!). Thanks again!

Calling All Tumble Fans! We need your help!
Once again, a Cbeebies presenter, this time the delightful Cerrie Burnell, is being slammed by a small, ignorant minority of people...simply because of her physical disability.
We know you'll want to show your support for Cerrie on our sister site:
www.cerrieburnellisawesome.co.uk
Many thanks, and again, thanks for all your support...you guys are what make this country great.

Hi Tumble Fans! We've been busy at MTII - tidying up and adding new products to the DVD (and books and CDs!) Page because you keep asking us for all stuff Mr Tumble!
In other news, we've had a lovely e-mail from Justin's production company - Scrumptious House - in which they say:
"Justin ... would like to say a big thank-you to you and all the visitors to your site for all of the wonderful and kind messages that have been left ... Thanks again for your continuing support for Justin's work. It is very much appreciated."
How cool is that?!! Not only that, but they have let us in on a big secret...so keep checking back at MTII because we'll be able to tell you very soon the exciting news...!

Take a quick look at this nice little video for the 'Bee Bright' series - Short Justin Video
- great idea for a customer review!!
21st January 2009 - Justin Fletcher's Bafta
It's official - Justin Fletcher is AWESOME! You may know that Justin won a BAFTA, more specifically a Best Presenter award at the British Academy Childrens Awards on 30th November 2008. Many many thanks to Kris, of www.ecoknits.co.uk (love the site Kris!) who sent us this interview Justin gave just after he'd collected his award:
Awesome, Justin, awesome! We've also added some more links to Justin's huge collection of DVD's and books on our Goodies Page - including The Tweenies - as I'm sure you know Justin is the voice of Jake...
Oh, and we've moved Your Messages to their own page - there were so many!! Feel free to add your own - they do get seen by the CBeebies production team!

Hope you are all settled in back at work, looking after the little ones, or better still letting your other half look after them while you surf the net!
For some time now, we've been getting emails asking us if we know where to get Mr Tumble related DVDs, Books and stuff. Well, to try to help we've setup a Goodies Page - stuffed with things you might like from leading retailers.
For example, we've found a cracking Makaton DVD - Makaton - Nursery Rhymes
- featuring Dave Benson Phillips who you might recognise from Playdays: The Playground Stop as well as being on all sorts of programmes on the BBC, ITV, Nickleodeon and most recently Playhouse Disney. You can find his website here.
We'll keep adding to the Goodies Page whenever we come across new stuff we think you'll like!

See you soon...

It's a busy time here at MTII - what with Christmas just around the corner, and with now over 200 (yes, two hundred!) messages of support and thanks for Mr Tumble / Justin Fletcher. Keep them coming! Don't forget we are only an unofficial fansite, but the makers of Something Special at the BBC do know about us...!
It's about time we released the results of our latest poll . . . and by a HUGE margin you decided that Mr Tumble should stick with the Makaton signing system with 371 (87%) of the votes!
Check below for our new question - which TV Channel do you prefer for your tots...?
See you soon . . . MT Team
2nd September 2008
Don't forget - Something Special (featuring the awesome Justin Fletcher as Mr Tumble) is still ON - BBC2, 9.20am (that's twenty past nine in the morning for the clever 3 year olds reading this!). Many thanks to everyone who's left a message - Mr Tumble is as popular as ever!!!
It's also good to see that eBay are doing some relevant advertising on this site - about time - I know it doesnt show every time (it's all part of Google's Adwords rotational system!) but at least it's stuff that we may want from the most famous auction site in the world. Yay!
1st February 2008
Please see http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/contact/ for info about DVD's etc - don't forget, we are not an official MrTumble Site!!
However, we do know that the MrTumble production team at the BBC know about this site, so your praise and comments about Mr Tumble are sure to be appreciated!!
14th January 2008
Just a reminder of the great BBC website for our hero - http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/somethingspecial/ - you can find all sorts here - games a speciality!!
Enjoy!
Mr Tumble to receive an OBE?!
10th August 2007 - Many thanks to Tombliboo who has informed us (see message board below) of the petition on the Prime Ministers website where you can register your support to award Justin Fletcher (who of course plays Mr Tumble!) an OBE! Goto http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Cbeebies/ to register your vote. We have!
July 13th 2007 - We've added a new survey - to find out if fans of Mr Tumble would prefer him to stick with the Makaton sign language system, or switch to the more widely used British Sign Language (BSL) - click here for more info. To find out more about Makaton, click here.
The results of the original question - was Mr Tumble really making rude signs - was a resounding NO - in fact 95% (330 votes!) said he was innocent! Thanks to everyone that voted - including the 11 mavericks who said Mr Tumble should be sent to the naughty step.
To Victoria B : Thanks for the message!! To be fair to the Beeb, Something Special is still being shown on CBeebies, but the schedules are changed every now and then! See the 'Mr Tumbles TV Times' link on the left for the bang-up-to-date BBC schedule for Mr Tumble / Something Special. All the best, MTII Ed.
The Guestbook is still open - please feel free to support Mr Tumble by leaving a message below (over 75 left so far!!!)
(All messages are checked for nice-ness before being allowed).
8/5/07 : Mr Tumble is back on CBeebies .... weekdays from Monday ... 9:20am and repeated at 12:20pm!
