Good idea! It's about time Stanley Matthews was taken down a peg or two! :)

Funny that you mention that, because I'm sticking my Trebuchet cartoon on Twitters tomorrow, and I'll put When Nazi Sharks Attack, on, next week! :)

This has got 1.3k views! :o I feel a bit faint and confused, to be honest.

EDIT: Thanks to Interrobang, Pual, and Davuss for liking it/sharing it.

I need a lie down! :D

It's now on 3.5k Twitter views, and I've got a vague feeling I'm going to get in trouble, somehow. :)

Indeed it is. A cheese that can only be eaten by white men - the most maligned of all the species out there. :D

So my Teletext thingy gets 4.1 thousand Twitter views (which I'm immensely grateful for), and mine/Jonesy's When Nazi Sharks Attack gets a whole 46 views. Utterly befuddling. :o But hey ho, that's the Internet for youse!

Indeed. Also - have you done any of that uploading videos directly into Twitter, Davusk? I mean, rather than uploading Gifs or YouTube links/Embedded YouTube links?

Yup, I *think* they have to be in a 'just so' .mp4 format. YouTube is a lot less fussy on that front.

I'm putting this here because I can't think of where else to put it...

"every classic series doctor who serial described by red dwarf"

Requires Classic Who knowledge, but not much Red Dwarf knowledge at all. Very funny even if you hate Red Dwarf, due to drastic recontextualization.

I saw a week ago that the Beeb put on BBC4 a vintage childrens block of TV shows, featuring Bagpuss, The Clangers, etc, etc. I mean, that's all very nice, but I do wish they'd show a bit more imagination when going through their archives.

I've got a bit fascinated with the 1970s misery-com 'I Didn't Know You Cared'. It's like Last Of The Summer Wine crossed with Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, plus extra misery. It's also the brownest show I've seen in ages.

Especially don't watch Series 3 - it contains extremely ill-considered 'race' humour. :(

I have no recollection of the character Hannah Martin, so I presume she's after the era of Jason Donovan und Kylie?
