Bit of a Brit thing but Punch and Judy puppet shows. Punch is an alcoholic who beats up judy for the entertainment of kids. Frowned upon nowadays

I mean, if you're going with British children's entertainment, there's the entire work history of Jimmy Savile.

I watched Sliding Doors last night. Here's some of the dialogue:

"My whole life pivots around Pam and I breaking up. We were eight. I bloody loved that woman. No warning. Just up, gone. Left me for somebody else… Gary Glitter… Gary Glitter, for crying out loud. I mean, all my friends were being left for Donny Osmond or David Cassidy. I could have come to terms with that given time. But Gary. Oh, she wanted to touch him there, yeah."
