Guardian reporter Stuart Heritage's botched attempt to play two separate games with his two children simultaneously inspired the plot of the Bluey episode Surprise.
When Stuart Heritage agreed to play two separate games with each of his children simultaneously, it left him exhausted, confused, and hiding in the bathroom. But that afternoon of parental chaos also landed him a credit on his favourite TV show, Bluey.Guardian reporter Stuart Heritage's botched attempt to play two separate games with his two children simultaneously inspired the plot of the Bluey episode Surprise.
At a playground near the campsite, one child insisted they play "floor is lava," while the other proposed a "complicated alien defence game on a climbing frame," Heritage said. The children proceeded to explain the complicated rules of their imaginary worlds at the same time, talking over each as they did so.
"The thing that connected with me was the dad. I mean, I'm talking about a cartoon dog, which sounds bizarre, but he is sort of the best dad in the world. He's present, he listens, he's patient, but at the same time, he struggles," Heritage said.
