It’s a giant furry onesie.

That last bit is key. Not everyone is on Facebook (including me) and people shouldn't be penalised if they don't use it.

Pity we couldn't get a new show for the 50th, or a repeat of It Started With Swap Shop from 2006, but I'll definitely take that!

Mark Bungle @markbungle.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Yeah I kind of figured they'd do something like that. Was thinking it would be It Started With Swap Shop from 2006 but that's as good as we can get really.

BBC4 repeat?

I agree with every word of this about studio audience sitcoms. www.comedy.co.uk/tv/features/...
comedy.co.uk
The studio sitcom isn't dated - it's been withdrawn from sale - British Comedy Guide
Audiences still love narrative comedy played to a live room, so why have broadcasters stopped making it? The case for bringing the studio audience sitcom back.

What's a Piddington? Is it where the peas live down at the bottom of the garden, among the birds and the bees?

Or indeed any other moving Christmas idents pre-1974. I have a lot of grails.

Broadcast From the Future, c.1991
A ‘broadcast from the future’ apparently shown during a commercial break in 1991 – does anyone recall this?

Moving footage of the BBC2 Christmas ident from 1975, and Schofield unveiling the BBC1 Christmas ident from 1986 in the Broom Cupboard following the competition to design it.

@outonbluesix.bsky.social Any ideas on this one? bsky.app/profile/mari...

Disagree. It's Horrible Histories (series 1 to 5).

Help was also fantastic, despite how tainted it now is and how Paul Whitehouse will obviously never talk about it ever again.

@human007.bsky.social Hi, I still have the Cloppa Castle episodes. Did you want me to try and get them to you another way?

What channel? Have you tried the British Newspaper Archive? Some papers which went to press that morning might have an updated TV schedule.

Well, no-one did (apart from one like). So, yeah...thanks.

However, he was great in What About Dick, which I did see. Fabulous memories Eric, sorry for your loss.

I had the chance to see him in Spamalot for my birthday about 20 years ago and I foolishly said no. Really regret it today.

Also, someone please finally release the fourth Clue ending where Wadsworth did all the murders.

Here are all the archive TV shows I’m looking for. If anyone has them or knows someone who does, please let me know! I've tried YouTube/Internet Archive/various production crew members and found the odd episode here and there but not full series, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Mark Bungle @markbungle.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
I cannot believe I’ve never heard of this until now. Definitely going to watch it all.

Mark Bungle @markbungle.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
Feeling rubbish and like I'm not getting anywhere with finding archive TV shows, old cartoonists or advert information at all. Yes I know, it's niche and unimportant, but I need some positive vibes sent my way if possible.

Always makes me think of this Daffy Duck cartoon "Muscle Tussle" from 1955: "I'm gonna give you a shot of Atomcol absolutely free, for five dollars." (grabs a $5 bill from Daffy) "Thank you!"

They'll probably just go with The Christmas Lunch Incident from The Vicar of Dibley again.

It’s Gary Whelan (aka D.I. Harry Haines from The Bill), alongside Daniel Peacock (aka Mental Mickey from Only Fools and Horses) and Ron Tarr (aka Big Ron from EastEnders), with Michael Jayston on voiceover duties.

I always wanted to see a sitcom called “Trope” (either British or America) which played with these things in a subversive way, although I suspect that in itself would become its own trope.

Ahh okay, maybe I shall try somewhere else. Do you know of any file transfer sites you can access?

Well, I found one of them! “Brad” is played by Canadian actor Chris Diamantopoulos. Still searching for “Hal”…
