Balamory...

Hi guys!

Okay, where to start?
So it was Sunday, and I was looking after my baby nieece, and she was crying, and only being 4 months old, she likes the t.v... So I turned it on and stuck Balamory on, and it sent her to sleep and then myself,  I woke up halfway through, and whilst watching the part where PC Plum sings, it made me wonder wether or not he was gay. I then watched the end of what was left of it.. As I woke up, PC Plum was singing about loving the country, and wildlife.. And it then occured to me, his office was pink and green, blue is the colour normally associated with police officers, but this subverts that stereotyping as his room was green and pink.

In his song, he spends a lot of time with the teacher in this series, this shows that he's hiding his sexuality through the means of a woman teacher, who also can be seen as a promiscuous woman, but lacks the social abilities to find anyone. She also conforms the the traditional caring role of a teacher.

Also, there is a young woman who works in the sweet shop, who the audience know is disabled, and she comes off as a nice person, but when you look under all of that, you realise she's just a gold digger who flirts with any man in the show, Archie a rich man left a castle and lots of money is ideal for her, he is rich and doesn't possess any female qualities and this female character doesn't pass up the chance to flirt with him whenever possible. However Archie doesn't have the social skills to understand the human behavious, and that is why, he sticks to his science.

Hmm, what next? Spencer and Josie, these 2 characters are the only characters with ethnic origins, and it is a typical stereotype that they love each other, this is a false theory because it can be seen in Balamory that she does tend to flirt with most of the guys and she can be seen as quite the gold digger. Spence is just an innocent guy in all of it.

So, the firewoman... Well, the fact that she takes on such a masculine role and dresses like a man, does infact mean she is a lesbian. She subverts traditional female roles, but other than this, theres is nothing more on her character as there is no one else she can conform with.

Well, all in all, Balamory is nothing but a small village of sexual tentions portraying subconcious messages to children, no wonder they are how they are these days!

Well, Lucy is over and out.
Adios.

  1. No, it's called observation.You clearly need to think why Archie wears pink and has a pink castle.
