Yoho Ahoy

As a student, I spend a lot of time watching daytime TV, and so have become accustomed with what is generally on offer. Yoho Ahoy has been one of the highlights of recent years, not just for daytime TV, but for media in general. When this was on I used to scour the TV guides and teletext to find out when the episodes were on, sometimes there were two a day which was fantastic, but sometimes there weren't any and I was absolutely gutted. 5 mins of pure pleasure, there hasn't been a kids show on par with this since the 80s cartoon era, it should have it's own TV channel. Teletubbies, I mean honestly, it's sent me crazy, what effect is it having on little kids?!

Yoho Ahoy is an animated childrens television programme which hooks kids and adults alike. It focuses on the activities of the crewmen of the pirate ship 'The Rubber Duck', and throughout each five minute episode the only words spoken are 'Yoho' and 'Ahoy'. The dozen or so characters are wonderful, from the bossy Captain Bilge to the loveable ship janitor Jones. Each story has a kind of moral or learning to it too, and is easy to understand.

If you want to snuggle up with your young child and suspend reality for five minutes each day, track down and find Yoho Ahoy. It's easy on the brain, pleasing to the eye, and warming to the hearts of all.
