Actually, I have no idea who Uncle Derek is. I am given to understand that I was introduced to Basil Brush at my Nana's when I was little (we didn't have a telly), and that I was completely terrified of him. (I seem to have had a generalised terror of talking animals as a small child.)
I think avoiding motorways if not essential over the weekend sounds very sensible. If your mum can't make it, then you can have consolation cake this weekend, and a celebratory cake in the future...
I could cope with BB, but I had a mortal terror of the crow on Words and Pictures, apparently. Mine was a TV entrenched early childhood, as opposed to yours, so you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Suffice to say, the crow had a loud screechy voice and was well up to the task of pecking my eyes out.
All of the food would find a good home courtesy of the horde of locusts who come round of a Sunday, masquerading as role-players. It's thanks to them that we can kid ourselves that we have delicate, birdlike appetites - which we do by comparison. Just not in actuality!
