Batfink

For years I used to run around the school playground yelling “Batfink! My eye!”, and never knew why. Up until a few months ago I thought it was just one of those things that kids do, and was never actually related to anything until I came across the video in a second-hand store. All then […]

Bananaman

This is 29, Acacia Road. And this is Eric, the schoolboy who leads an exciting double life. For when Eric eats a banana, an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman. Ever alert for the call to action. Here we have Eric, your average run of the mill pathetically weak schoolboy. Even though he is a […]

Bagpuss

Bagpuss: childrens television programme or a training video for the tax office? Confused? Let me explain. Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a little girl. And her name was Emily, and she had a shop. It was a rather unusual shop because it didn’t sell anything. While many a small child […]

The A Team

In 1972, a crap commando unit was se… Eh? Yes, crap commando unit, afterall they were caught. Oh, OK then… In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison (see, told you they got caught) by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. Yeh, sure, of course they didn’t do it. Everyone […]

ALF

Meet Alf, the 202 year old Alien Life Form (hence his name) who after having to leave his home planet of Melmac because it, well, exploded, ended up on Earth by crashing into the Tanner family’s garage roof. That’s where it all began, and now the family have the pleasure (well some of them do) […]

Airwolf

Airwolf is a helicopter (like, duh), but it’s no ordinary helicopter. As you would expect since this is a television show, it flies very fast and has big guns. The basic story outline is that Stringfellow Hawke got up one morning and was a bit bored, so instead of going out and doing some gardening […]

Nigel Alderton Interview

An exclusive interview with Nigel Alderton The legend who created the classic Chuckie Egg. Many people drop by the site and say hello, some you’ve heard of, some who their mother’s haven’t heard of. But in this instance a guy who is classed as a legend, although he doesn’t like to admit it, popped by […]

Tim Vine Interview

I think Tim Vine is very, very funny. In fact at the time of interviewing him he held the Guinness World Record for the most jokes told in an hour. I remember watching him in “Whittle” on Channel 5, and in “Fluke” (the gameshow based purely on absolute chance) on channel 4, so I bought […]

Gareth Jones and Violet Berlin Interview

Matthew Smith Interview

Since being about 8 years old, I’ve wanted to meet Matthew Smith. Not just any Matthew Smith would do, though. It would have to be the one that wrote Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy on the ZX Spectrum. Yes, THAT Matthew Smith, and not the writer of Jamie and the Magic Torch. (Although I’m […]
