Balamory duo ‘unrecognisable’ as they reunite for new show 18 years on from CBBC hit
A BALAMORY duo were ‘unrecognisable’ as they reunited for a new show 18 years on from the CBBC hit.
Balamory followed life in a small Scottish town and its various characters.
It was a huge hit during its four season run from 2002 to 2005 and has remained a great source of nostalgia for those who grew up with the programme.
Now, Andrew Agnew and Julie Wilson Nimmo have reunited for BBC Scotland show, Olga da Polga.
A behind-the-scenes clip was shared to the CBeebies Instagram page, with Andrew in a wizard’s outfit and Julie dressed like a cat.
The pair were seen joking around in their costumes, with Julie – who played Miss Hoolie in Balamory – asking: “Do you think anyone will spy us?”
Andrew – who played PC Plum – repeated the question before adding: “We have aged slightly.”
Julie replied: “We can’t be that old!” but Andrew quipped: “Don’t look at my grey beard!”
The caption to the video read: “Did you spot this Easter egg in the new Olga da Polga series? Watch Series 2 on BBC iPlayer!”
Fans immediately took to the comments section, with one writing: “Core memory UNLOCKED: I’m PC Pluuuuum and I’ll tell you what I’ve done…”
Another added: “I know the Beeb won’t fork out for a Balamory reboot, but can we at least have repeats for this new generation?
“My kids have no idea what I’m doing when I randomly sing ‘Here’s your haaandbaaag’.”
Olga da Polga is available on BBC iPlayer.
