They haven’t been seen in the wild for years, but this depleted species of chocolate bar is determined not to go the same way as the Opal Fruit and Wispa. Have you seen a Ruffle lately? If so, report the raspberry fondant and coconut rarity here.

I used to live about 300 metres from a Safeway’s store and most of the teenage population of my town worked there. In addition to picking up the groceries I could obtain the entire month’s gossip in the time it took to scan the bread and vegetables.
However, when Morrisons took over, not only did they […]

“Elspeth! Blow your thistle whistle!” I loved the “Family-ness” cartoon purely for the Scottish accents and the dinosaurs in the loch. Maybe my love of the Nessies came from the fact that the episodes were also so short. It also had a catchy theme tune in the closing credits. Sing along with the video clip:
You […]

Singlehandedly responsible for an entire decade’s worth of recruitment to the fire service, Fireman Sam was waaaay cooler than Postman Pat. The same cling film was used for water effects, but Sam had a Wallace and Gromit style LED system installed in his house. A man ahead of his time.
Not only that, but Fireman Sam […]

I’m quite embarassed to admit that have actually seen Power Rangers: The Movie. I’ll put this down to the young age of my cousins at the time. Back in the day I too used to watch Power Rangers, but this was the original power rangers. I thought it was pretty cool when the green Power […]

In true BBC style, Michael Fish urges a stiff upper lip and insists that there is nothing to worry about. Devastation ensues.

Last night on “Enough Rope”, Robson Green was being interviewed and in the course of the programme, a clip was shown of his performance of “Unchained Melody” on Top of the Pops. The memories and the cringing came flooding back as I recalled how that hideous, smarmy song never went away after weeks at the […]

These little plastic contraptions could be found in every household during the 1980’s and 1990’s, though they had been around for much longer. We used to look through the viewing lense to see things like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in full 3D glory. Despite being a thoroughly useless distraction in the league of kaleidoscopes, […]

“Go-go-gadget legs!”
Inspector Gadget was a buffoonish policeman who had a whole host of gadgets, most of which consisted of making his legs or arms extend. He also had helicopter style rotor-blades which came out of the top of his head.
Most of the crimes which Inspector Gadget ‘investigated’ - his missions - were given to him […]

In 2001, England beat Germany 5-1 at football in a real fairytale of a game. This match was another in the classic series of big games between the two European footballing giants.
England had been second-best for over a decade in most encounters between these two teams, so when we had to go to Germany to […]

For a decade between the mid 80s and 90s, children were inspired to take up painting and other forms of art by the spectacularly talented Tony Hart, on his TV show Hartbeat (not to be confused with the ITV 1960s stlye police drama Heartbeat!).
Hartbeat also brought us the great character of morph, and also his […]

Bitsa this! Bitsa that!
Put them all together, and what have you got?
Bits and pieces, bits and bobs,
Put them all together, what a wonderful job!
A great theme tune for a great program. Good children’s TV, before they made everything all colourful on SMart, which featured liberal use of a glue gun, and all sorts of day-to-day […]

Around the World With Willy Fog was shown on children’s BBC in the UK during my childhood.
It was a cartoon based on the Jules Verne novel Around the World in 80 Days except that all the characters were animals and the main protagonist’s name was changed from Phileous to Willy, and he was a lion.
This […]

A film that touched a generation. The Goonies is a perfect example of children’s movie making: it taught us tolerance, perseverance and how to triumph over adversity.
I can’t quite remember exactly why, but the story was about how a group of misfit children went underground in a building to find some pirate gold.
There were more […]
