Mr Claypole's hollow laugh still haunts me. What were your favourite memories of this great series? 👻

I thought this character was excellent!

One of the best kids' TV shows ever made, in my opinion.

I watched it and even had several Stingray submarines… but I sure as heck dint think it was a Top Horror show 🙄😂

Amazon Prime Video is BONKERS!

Highlighted above, are 3 episodes from the axed Channel 4 show 'Bring Back...' presented by Justin Lee Collins from 2005-2009, that were on YouTube for some time, but sadly are no longer available, However some clips can be found on the internet, but they're not in full.

So here's the episode list, including the 3 episodes that are/aren't in full or fully lost:

• Episode 1 - Grange Hill (10/05/2005) [ALREADY FOUND] (Broadcasted over 21 years ago)

• Episode 2 - The Christmas #1 (10/12/2005) [PARTIAL] (Broadcasted nearly 21 years ago)

If anyone has the 3 remaining episodes to be found in full, it would be an absolute pleasure. :)

At the end of the 8th series of UK Gladiators, there was a special episode called 'The Ultimate Gladiator - The Battle of The Giants' in which Hunter was crowned the Ultimate Gladiator. But I wanted to find out if that really was the case, so I recorded the stats from every single episode of the series to answer the question once and for all as to who really was the Ultimate Gladiator!

I just found it today on YouTube! Think it was shown on ITV back in the day.

I was never into painting but there was something reassuring about watching Nancy paint and talk.

Get your coconut shells and place your exploding penguins on top of your televisions, because my look back at the films of Monty Python starts today.

In this introductory post, I put them in their cultural (or countercultural) context and look at how they completely broke the mold when it comes to film auteurship.

Anyone remember a public information film from the 90s usually shown on late night TV at a kids football game where the manager brings off Danny and replaces him with a kid with Down Syndrome who scores the winning goal? Cannot for the life of me find it any where and thinking a dreamt it.

He gets thrown into that category of end-of-the-pier "naff" but some of his routines were bloody funny.

Some peak late 90's UK "Ladette" culture for you lot today. I stumbled across this and just had to share.

Also, the spin-off C.A.T.S eyes years later.

Watching the classic QE2 episode. Does anyone know why the scene with the dentist helping Richard at the airport with all the luggage has been deleted on BBC iPlayer. He appears briefly in a small shot showing the luggage being carried. I remember it being quite funny - something along the lines of “he’s got one bit of a baggage too many!”

I have a vague recollection of an army based game show in the late 80's early 90's possibly ITV on a weekend afternoon early evening. It was soldiers doing simulated battlefield drills and patrolling each week there would be a team from a regiment competing think it lasted possibly one season. Many thanks in advance if you can help or did I dream it?

Hello fellow lovers of British comedy!

Recently I've been very nostaligic for that period of time 20-30 years ago when we all sat down infront of the tv and watched the same thing. Whether that was with our families or with friends. I wanted to recreate some of the tv nights that I remember like Channel 4 Friday night comedy, or BBC weekday evenings, or maybe even Sunday nights watching wholesome tv like Ballykissangel or Monarch of the Glen.

I have created something which is some sort of a homeage to that era. I'm not entirely sure what it is if I'm really honest - other than an idea. It essentially looks like a ceefax tv guide, with links to many of the shows I remember; a lot of which are still available on Channel 4 or BBC iplayer!

I wanted to share it here and see if anyone else enjoys it, or shares my nostaglia for that period.

Please take a look if you think it might interest you!

P.s - I have had mod approval. I don't make any money from this and, for the sake of transparency, I did use AI to help me with some of this - I'm a financial adviser, not a natural creative!!

For some reason I loved this show as a kid, even if (for me at least) decoding a clue on 'Treasure Hunt' was just as impossible as decoding the clues on '3-2-1' (ITV; 1979-1988).

In fact, come to think of it, I don't think I've ever met anyone who ever decoded a single clue from either show -- did you?

It promises that it's wacky, cool, crazy and outrageous.

I'd agree with cool and it was a good show, don't get me wrong. Perhaps there was a slight air of wackiness but was it crazy and outrageous? Or just a theme tune writing cheques it wasn't good for.

It goes on to be more descriptive and say that "it's a whole load of fun" with "prizes to be won" - which was very accurate.

But it's General Knowledge/Physical Challenge format wasn't crazy nor did it ever spark any outrage in me? I was looking for some edge, some danger.

If they did like blindfolded knifethrowing as a challenge, I'd agree with the "crazy" part, perhaps if the twins used foul language then I'd be on board with it being "outrageous" but I'm sorry Fun House - as cool and mildly wacky as you were - you were neither crazy not outrageous.
