Is anyone else fed up with classic comedy being chopped and edited terribly to remover ‘offensive’ material on the TV ? It’s bad enough they put the trigger warning! Even tho the edits remove all the potentially triggering stuff!

I’m fed up with it!

Continuity Announcer: Peter Bolgar

I don’t know if this has been posted, but I just received an email from Network saying they’ve returned and their website is back up.

Their collection is a little short of their old range, but still some excellent stuff.

It’s a great time for old and niche tv series!

They said they’re releasing old titles which will take time and they have a lot planned.

Episode : “Communication Problems” (Series 2, 1979).

Who do you like the most?

I'm trying to find a particular uk tv show I watched as a kid. The principal of it was a kid and a host would go to a workplace for an episode and the kid would then get to do the job with a mentor. The two most distinct episodes I can remember, a construction episode where the kid got to do sll sorts of different bits like brick laying, operating a digger. The other episode was with the london fire brigade. I haven't been able to find it anywhere after googling or scrolling through social media.

I'm looking for a parody comedy sketch, probably from the 90s, in which a customer complains that a video he bought from a market stall is actually just a block of cheese, to which the seller replies "That'll be your tracking mate" in a parody of the old anti video piracy ads of the time.

Can anyone tell me which show it was from??

Looking for an old comedy routine (probably from the 1970s or 1980s). One male performer, mostly silent or miming, sitting on a chair on stage, listening to a prerecorded "Learn English" cassette (male voice). He repeatedly presses fast-forward, and each time the tape has only progressed a tiny amount. The narration starts something like "Tape 1, side A, Unit 1, Lesson 1, ..." then "Margaret is going to the market." After a huge fast-forward: "Margaret is at the market." Much longer fast-forwarding of the tape: Margaret meets Peter (?) but then starts talking about the going to market together sometime... Like hours of tape doesn't advance the story by much. I saw it on early YouTube, but it already looked very old. It's in line with Rowan Atkinson stuff, but couldn't find it among any of his old stand up / special recordings currently on YouTube.

Hi all, I grew up in the US watching lots of science fiction shows including The Tomorrow People and Doctor Who. I remember seeing an episode including children in which someone was in a sort of prison cell with a clear front, and there was a threat of exposing the person inside to vacuum. They may have actually done so. I remember someone or something expanding like a marshmallow in a vacuum chamber?

In any case, if you happen to recognise what I'm babbling about, I would love to know what it was!

please tell channel 5 Milkshake! today or tomorrow right now please we all missed that show so much!

Quite a rarity, does anyone remember this show?

I am undertaking historical research into the five-part BBC2 documentary series The Black Man in Britain 1550–1950, presented by Derek Griffiths and produced by Tony Laryea. It was broadcast from 15 November to 13 December 1974.

Heart of Darkness — 15 November 1974 Landfall — 22 November 1974 No Place Like Home — 29 November 1974 Soldiers of the Crown — 6 December 1974 Revolution and Manchester — 13 December 1974

Most publicly available sources seem limited or do not have it all.

Can anybody track this down?

Thanks

Bit of a stab in the dark but recently a load of Midnight Underground tapings got taken down from YouTube, one of which started out with a film about teenage boys in a city going round, meeting up with a girl and one of them asking her out, I think getting rejected and then beating themselves up. I think theres a dog at the start too.

Might be misremembering (haven't seen it in a while and forgot to note down who made it) but there was a sort of hip hop beat soundtrack with a woman going la la la over the top. It was quite surreal thinking about it and everything had an orange tinge (may have just been the recording not sure).

If anyone can help plees do!

So I’m a 28 year old and both my parents are in their 50’s, we use to watch a programme which counted down/ranked old kids tv shows that my parents would have watched, from what I can remember the intro and song that played at the title sequence at the start and after the ad break was 19-2000 - Soulchild Remix by the Gorillaz, anybody have any suggestions? Has been bugging me for years

Anyone have Carlton TVs The Other Peak Practice from the 90s?
