King Rollo was fantastic, and it's even better to watch now when you're reasonably drunk. His cat is the bossest motherfucker in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ziijk5pUMV0 Look at the cat climb that tree!

Thanks for trying everyone, but please don't let it bother you Buml0r! I kind of expected someone would just know it instantly and put me out of my misery. I did get excited at the Towser and Noggin the Nog suggestions because I remember watching them. Not those though. Maybe I've convinced myself it's from a kids show when it's not. I'm sorry everyone, but please, if you do remember let me know, but don't go any further out of your way to find it. I'm off to watch every single episode of every single kids show that was on during my childhood. I may be some time.

It says a lot about goons that we can identify a porn clip in an hour or so but are tragically lost when it comes to kids TV.

I'd like to make a counter claim of 'Has anyone seen less corrie than me?'. Never watched a single episode apart from clips of it on TV Burp. Also never seen a single Emmerdale, The Bill or Home & Away. gently caress ITV.

I think it is the incidental or theme music to a British kids' TV show. One with a narrator, and a style similar to Mr Benn, maybe. It's about all I can manage. Could it be the Mr Men? It's not quite like it but a bit.

Danny Mills is on Masterchef. I'm watching it til he hacks down one of the others and protests his innocence, throwing his arms in the air towards Gregg and John in feigned exasperation. Won't take long, surely.

The problem I have with every soap is that they never end. I like some finality to my drama. Soaps just don't seem like very cathartic viewing.

Did anybody catch For The Love Of Dogs on ITV? It will hopefully have a good impact on people rehoming rescue dogs and is a nice bit of light entertainment.

VogeGandire posted:My mother watches the big 3 soaps, and I don't think she's missed an episode in a good few years now. I was under the impression that you are meant to miss episodes. Hence why they spend most of their running time recapping/reiterating the plot. NaDy posted:The problem I have with every soap is that they never end. I like some finality to my drama. Soaps just don't seem like very cathartic viewing. Well like bloated fantasy epics they are for people who want to spend a lot of time in a fictional world but are novelty averse. But I kind of like the way characters will come in and have a bit of a plotline and then just sort of hang around and be a background character in someone else's story for a while. If nothing else it avoids the usual problem of minority groups being stereotyped because they get plots built around their minority status. I mean, I watch about an episode a month so there's maybe some horrendous plotlines I missed, but I was always kind of impressed by the way Corrie had a transsexual character who was just one of their pool of female characters most of the time. I don't think you would have got that on a more limited run show, because there's more of a rationale behind everything, whereas the setting/cast of a soap is just the sum of everything that's happened previously.

I volunteer in a local dogs home and feel shelters like ours could benefit if the show really pushes the adoption angle. Not everyone can have a few week old puppy I am afraid. I did well up during the scenes with the abandoned staffie. People who do that deserve maiming.

I'd probably recognise it if it was. I can sing you some pretty obscure Mr. Men tunes, but I don't know this one. It's possible that it could be from just one episode or something, though.

Hopefully it won't all be puppies that they show as they had a quite a few staffies on their watch.

They cut out a load of the tedious elimination tension stuff in the Bakeoff edit this week - the bits where they talk about who is in trouble this week etc. Love it. Still think the show should scrap having one person get "fired" per episode and just have a star baker each week and an overall winner at the end of the series. Scottish hipster is my current favourite, love his experimentation.

I've been watching Corrie since about 1996. It can be pretty funny sometimes. For example Roy (the spergy trainspotter who married the transvestite) was playing chess with Mad Mary and it resulted in lines such as "“I've dripped piccalilli on your bishop" and “It was something of a marathon session! I’m afraid I mated your husband. Twice!” Giedroyc posted:I'd like to make a counter claim of 'Has anyone seen less corrie than me?'. Never watched a single episode apart from clips of it on TV Burp.

What a sad and cheerless little individual he must be, to sit and count Smegs instead of gazing lovingly at the mountains of chocolate and pies and deliciousness on view. I just don't understand that sort of mentality. And I love Scottish Hipster too. His jumpers are adorable, and so are his meringues.

I think she was either pushed into bringing the puppet along for the purpose of the one 'belly talking' section or she was trying to do some kind of weird tribute to Ken Campbell and his experimental theatre (iirc it was originally his puppet and he was a kind of mentor to her). Either way, it fell horribly flat.

I just don't understand that sort of mentality. You'd be surprised, the Ofcom report shows what some people will complain about. The phone-in sex channels on Sky have repeatedly broken the rules for showing too much skin ("Showing inner labial or anal detail" is a particularly erotic descriptor) or gyrating too sexily too close to the camera. Who the gently caress would complain about that? "Ah yes, semi-naked ladies who I am watching and possibly masturbating to in-between the free 10 minute previews of the porn channel. Oh, hey, steady on there madam, that's a bit too sexy. Gosh, she is simulating sex! And I saw her vagina briefly! Right, what's Ofcoms number i'm putting a stop to this"
