If you were a UK child of the 90s you'll likely remember this....

If you weren't, I'm sure you'll love this guy anyway.

Look what Steve and I have been introducing Whirly to. Something to melt the heart of even the hardest of arachnophobics!

For some reason today I'm feeling all nostalgic for Water Palace.I can't find very much about it online, which is a shame. I remember keeping a leaflet about it from my very first trip there, back when I was a kid, but it's probably buried somewhere in the loft of my parents' house ( Read more... )

Help!!

Today I have been driven mad trying to work out what an old children's programme was called. The problem is, I was very young at the time - too young to remember the title or any character names or, in fact, anything useful. I'll tell you what I do remember and then if anyone thinks they recall it, please give me a boot up the backside and ( Read more... )

Does anyone remember Dizzy Heights Hotel?

It was a kid's TV show from about 1989-ish. I was obsessed with the first series, then went sharply off it for some reason. Why am I asking about this? Because for some unknown reason I have the theme-tune running through my head and it won't go away ( Read more... )

I have just found The Snorks on a channel caled Pop! I've not watched this in years!

Unfortunately the sound is also not working and therefore I shall not be watching it today, either :(

Why am I watching this 25 Years of Watchdog programme?

I still have nightmares about Lynn Faulds-Wood. This really isn't going to help with that.

No good can come of this. None at all.

Addendum: Shit! Teddy-bear-on-fire clips! NOW I remember why this used to give me nightmares....

Addendum 2: I never fancied Alice Beer but I always felt like I ( Read more... )

Freaky things I've discovered so far:

1) I found a teeny-tiny bracelet that I had when I was a kid, maybe 6 or 7. It still fitted. Bloody hell, no wonder I've got no strength in my writs - it's because their too damn small!

2) I found the belt from my old school trousers and it still fits. I didn't think I had any belts. Why didn't I find it when ( Read more... )

There can be no better medicine than Dick & Dom in Da Bungalow. One of the few reasons to wake up in the morning ( Read more... )

For the last three days I've been haunted by the music they used to play between school's programmes on channel four in the mornings, some ten, twelve or more years ago. With the spinning 'ITV' sign and the four ITV logos spinning round on a turntable. Now, that takes me back. Kids don't get little filling-in clocks and music any more, it just goes ( Read more... )

I should nevere have watched the Rod Hull documentary on Thursday. Last night I had a nightmare about Grotbags! That's supposed to happen when you're 3, not when you're 23!

And besides, she looked scarier normally than she used to when she was tinted green :/
