I love this show because Roy is very cute and although sometimes he can be a bit devious at times.. heh heh.... I don't hate him because he just too endearing of a character and I love his cute little face, truly my favourite CBBC show of all time. I LOVE ROY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a very inclusive show that does justice in representing people with differences including me who is both mentally and physically disabled, even if it does so in a very silly and comedic way. I love Roy's character design as well, it's so cute and I love it everytime he's on screen. If the show has a number one fan... it is me.
