Producing children's shows nowadays involves either ripping off currently successful shows or finding old shows that were successful a generation ago, buying the rights to them and doing what Ronan Keating did to "When You Say Nothing At All" i.e. murder them. This show seems to be designed to be the gold standard of this kind of thing - it is truly, truly awful.
The scripts are obviously banged out in assembly line fashion. The characters all have regional accents, presumably some sort of attempt at political correctness which completely backfires considering the only French accent belongs to Mr Rude.
It all seems to have very little to do with Roger Hargreaves's original creation - if he was alive today he'd be horrified.
