Kevin & Perry were two teenagers depicted by Harry Enfield and Cathy Burke respectively. The whole thing began on the midnight of Kevin’s 13th birthday where he transformed, werewolf-like, into a sullen, lazy and badly-dressed teenager who frequently reminded his parents that he hated them. Middle England went wild for this sketch and all its […]

Before Hugh Laurie had an American accent and limped around a hospital, he was dim-witted Prince in Blackadder. “Queenie” was hilarious with her indiscriminate orders to behead and whims attended to by none other than Rowan Atkinson. My favourite character by far was Lord Flashheart -played by Rick Mayall. See him here:

The pythons were: Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin and they broadcast on the BBC from 1969 to 1974. Their madcap approach to comedy broke all the boundaries and they were as controversial as they were successful.
If I could, I would play every Python episode and film in […]

The Getalong Gang is a fine exemplar of everything that a cartoon should be: informative, fun and featuring a moose AND a caboose.
2 words you don’t often hear in the same sentence these days, more’s the pity, are ‘moose’ and ‘caboose’. A caboose is of course the single train cart club house that the getalong […]

Allo Allo is a farcical comedy about a French cafe owner juggling the secrets of French, British and German wartime interests -as well as his own. The show ran from 1982 to 1992 and followed the progress of Rene who has to hide paintings

A hapless bunch of Home Guard “soldiers” attempt to defend their homeland to little effect. Dad’s Army has a brilliant start sequence with song that was specially written for the show and military progress arrows fighting each other.
Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Hitler,

Ah the 1970’s, when Saturday afternoon meant one thing -wrestling. With the chants of “Easy, easy” and commentary by an over excited Kent Walton, this was British sport at its most showy.
Remember Giant Haystacks at 6′11″ and 45 stone? Loved by millions of viewers and reaching the peak of his popularity in the mid-1970’s, Giant […]

Unfortunately for the lovely Craig, nobdy could ever take him seriously again as a singer after Avid Merrion recast him as a character in the series “Bo’ Selecta”. Mocked for his street lingo and general cool kid antics, Craig David soon became better known as his alter-ego

Some people stand in the darkness, afraid to step into the light.
And then there was Baywatch.
We never missed a single episodes as normally disorganised brothers and dads managed to time their takeover of the telly to coincide with the weekly soft porn episode brought to you by David Hasslehof. I recently watched a re-run and […]

Another travesty of the one-hit wonder phenomenon. Good for charity though, a bit like the Peter Kay re-make of “Show me the way to Amarillo”, but much more annoying. Watch out for Jeremy Clarkson and Carol Vorderman in this video. You even get to see Mrs Blobby and Baby Blobby towards the end as well […]

The best morning show of th 1990’s. Ant, Dec and Cat Deely would run amok for a couple of hours. Ant used to try and beat the kids at the trivia quiz and he could be quite harsh -especially if he won. They impersonated most celebrities and we nearly got the long-awaited kiss on their […]

Let’s get ready to rumble! PJ & Duncan were the stars of Byker Grove -the cool kids. PJ was much cooler than Duncan, who was a bit soft. Duncan was the baby-faced nice one and PJ the fit, naughty one.

A SEMINAL MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF BRITISH TV!! Byker Grove was gritty, but worse than the under-age sex, drug-taking and general malaise of a rough Northern sitcom was when PJ, the hero of the saga, took one for the team against Denton Burn. I cannot remember how many times I have heard people recall […]

Noel’s House Party was the highlight of any 90’s Saturday night. Fun with Mr Blobby and so many characters ringing the doorbell. It was quite funny to give Noel his due.

Top Banana was another children’s TV show which aired really early on a Saturday morning, on ITV in the UK.
It was a gameshow set in a jungle, and you could get an easy question by asking for “a piece of cake” - the kicker being that you would have to answer while eating a piece […]
