Help[Opinions] Re: Jemima
in reply to a message by noisynora
I love it. I had a cat called Jemima back in Australia, and named her that partly because I thought the association with the doll in the Australian kids’ TV show Play School would be too strong to use it for a child. Here in the UK it’s been steadily popular for a couple of decades, though, and I could see myself using it despite having already used it for a cat once lol.
I would use Jem as a nickname.

Off topic but I had no idea that teh TV show Play School was also made in Australia. It's the first TV show I remember watching and I named a rag doll Jemima after the doll on TV. I also named another one Hamble after the other doll. I still have them but they're in a pretty sorry state. I'm too sentimental to get rid of them though.

Oh I didn't know that. After a search I'm actually surprised at the amount of regional remakes it had.
I find it interesting that Bagpuss is probably the most fondly remembered of the era's programmes, but it ran for such a short time and didn't have overseas remakes. How odd.

I've always suspected that Bagpuss was responsible, at least partly, for the rise of Emily.

I think you could be right about that.
I have a soft spot for Bagpuss and have a toy one which sits on my bed. :)
