Sam, The Sandown Clown
A PDF of a magazine from 1978 containing the story
The Sandown Clown was a strange being encountered by two young children vacationing at Lake Common, Sandown, Isle of Wight (UK) in May of 1973. Following a sound like an ambulance siren, the children wandered across a footbridge over a stream, and met a curious, unidentifiable being that has been described as "a cross between a clown, a robot, and an alien". It was a shy, but friendly being, and spoke kindly to the children for almost half an hour before they returned to their parents. It seemingly vanished after the encounter, and has never been seen again.

A longish short story

MW - Episode 1
The first in a new and occasional series - short remixes of old 70s / 80s / 90s TV. This first one is all adverts...
Re: One Candy Talking (i.e. Making Things On The Internet)

Re: One Candy Talking (i.e. Making Things On The Internet)
It seems to possibly not be an actual advert, but some sort of student film that was perhaps made as an assignment. Most likely it came from the 80s, and they had access to the same font that Barclays used at the time (i.e., they had some Letraset sheets - the font is "Weiss", apparently). Here's the full thing.
The person who uploaded it to Youtube found it on an unlabelled U-Matic tape. U-Matic is an old semi-professional video format used for archiving stuff, and was obsolete not too long into the 80s. The equipment hung around various places for a while - How To Irritate People, the early proto-Python one-off show that featured John Cleese, Micheal Palin and Tim Brooke-Taylor (RIP) was partially or entirely saved for posterity as a U-Matic dub, I understand.

Ah, sorry about that. I tried my best to make it fairly low on resources, but the image textures probably pushed it to the limit. They're not massive but on older machines I'd imagine they'd struggle / fall over crying.
Also thanks to both of you

Sorry I've been away... all the screeching about The Quen was getting me down. I think some people have already seen this because I posted it on Ye Olde Tumblr last night, but I put my old British Comedy Quiz on a site that allows it to work the way I wanted it.
Talking of the late dead Quen... (apols if you've seen this already as well)
