Yet another Hanna-Barbera classic. Secret Squirrel (or sometimes refered to as SS or Secret Agent 000), and his undercover companian Morocco Mole fight crime in a way that, well, only cartoon characters can… with that ultimate weapon, corny jokes. Armed with only a purple hat and a white overcoat that both conceal a variety of […]
It’s not much of a life when you’re just a pretty face. Just to be whoever you are is no disgrace. Don’t be scared if you don’t fit in, look who’s in the reject bin. It’s the Raggy Dolls, Raggy Dolls, dolls like you and me. Right! Stop there! I can put up with the […]
We all remember this one, don’t we, if only for the fact of the drawings that bounce all over the place, not to mention the theme music that everyone at one stage or another, whether they be drunk or sober has yelled along to at the top of their voices trying to emulate the instruments. […]
Up from the depths, thirty stories high, breathing fire, his head in the sky, ROLA… oh, hang on, that was Godzilla… Roland Rat was the first 80s non-human character who originated from the UK, and rose up to become an International Megastar. Now, I know what you’re thinking…. What about Basil Brush – He wasn’t […]
Up above the streets and houses, rainbow climbing high, Everyone can see it smiling, all over the sky. Paint the whole world with a rainbow. You know how your mind works when you’re a child, and how you pick up on the slightest thing? Well, I remember that I got really annoyed whenever I heard […]
If you want to throw a sicky from work, but feel guilty about not actually being sick, Orm and Cheep is the answer. This program will make you physically want to vomit. I can’t really put into words how “nice” this show is. Eeek! I’m sure this program is the reason there is so much […]
As if by magic, the web page appeared! (sorry, couldn’t resist). Hmm, surreal. Yes, surreal, that’s the best way to describe it. Mr Benn lived at 52 Festive Road and quite frankly he was a bit of a boring old chap. In an attempt to add a little excitement to his life he used to […]
I’m going to have to confess that I don’t actually remember watching Moschops as a kid, although I must have done because I went through a craze of calling everyone I met “Moschops”. Very strange, although admittedly I was a very strange child. So, here we have Moschops. Moschops is a therapsid dinosaur, and not […]
Now here we have a classic. Come on, own up now. Who when they were younger wanted their dad to put a flashing KITT-style light on the front of the family car? Yes, I’m looking at YOU. Be a man (I’m gonna have to exclude the girlies here, because I don’t think they were as […]
Glipton Grasshoppers are a struggling boys’ football team who are going nowhere fast – until one day a Geordie ex-football pro called Jossy Blair comes into their lives and turns them into…Jossy’s Giants! So begins Sid ”TV’s Mr Darts” Waddell’s classic kids footballing comedy, which ran for two series on BBC1 between 1986 and 87. […]
Surrealism at it’s best! It’s a good job that children don’t think too much about what they see on TV, otherwise this simple kids show would really screw their brains. Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, a new aircraft is being built. The new aircraft doesn’t really turn out how […]
This is going to put a few backs up, but here goes. I have always thought that cats are the most selfish, self-centred, egotistical animals on the face of this Earth. They only want to know you if they want something, the rest of the time they don’t want anything to do with you because […]
This obviously confirms your thoughts that I am completely sad. But my life would be completely empty without Hair Bear with a hair style that resembles my own, Bubi Bear with his invisible motor cycle (who said that cartoon characters are not on drugs), Square Bear with an obsession with food that also resembles my […]
Sit back, relax and clear your mind of everything. I want to paint a mental picture for you. First, imagine your favourite superhero (anyone apart from Hong Kong Phooey obviously). Now imagine that superhero if he had the ability to do Kung Fu. Now imagine that superhero if he didn’t have the ability to do […]
Pub-Man and the Masters Of The Local! I am Mark, prince of Armitage-Shanks and defender of the secrets of the Whitbread Brewery. This is Agnes, an ugly hag. Fabulous secret powers were revealed to me the day I held aloft my magic pint and said “By the power alcohol! I am inebriated!”. Agnes became mighty […]
