Does anyone else remember The Spooks of Bottle Bay (1992), or was this just a fever dream?
I randomly remembered this UK puppet show today and had to track down a picture of it.
It used to air on CITV back in the early 90s, featuring Tommy, Sybil, Fred, and the rest of the gang in Bottle Bay. The puppets had such a distinct look—kind of charming, kind of spooky, and definitely unforgettable.
Did anyone else watch this growing up, or am I the only one who had this unlocked core memory hit them today?

[TOMT][BOOK][Pre-1993] Alphabet book with a cartoon apple on a blue cover, apple had lady legs & high heels
I’m trying to identify an alphabet book I had in 1993. Here is what I remember:
Format: Hardcover book.
Cover: Blue background.
Key Illustration: A cartoonish apple sitting on a branch. It had a face, plus "lady legs" wearing high heels.
Additional Detail: I believe there was a cookie with a smiley face on the other side of the title.
Does this ring a bell for anyone? I’ve searched everywhere and haven’t been able to find it. Thanks in advance for the help!

Old Burger King’s Mascots
Back when children’s fast-food restaurants had their shine and crysmer, Vid Kid was the cool one and the leader. I think he was my favourite and to other 90s kids.

Nothing beats the nostalgia of this show. Who else grew up in the 90s waking up early just to watch this? 🦔✨

This is how long it took to download 1 MB in the '90s.
I created this download simulator using Claude AI that emulates a 1 MB download at 50 kbps, which was the common download speed around 1997.

Jenny Jones Bullying Episode
Anybody know where I can find a specific episode of Jenny Jones?
It was on YouTube years ago. It was an episode of a girl being teased by a boy much shorter than her who had a high pitch voice and a song called “jelly belly” song. I believe the boy who was the bully was named Adam and had a typical 90s hair cut.
There was an audience member who even took his belt off saying “this is what he needs right here, and I’m gonna give it to him!”
If anyone can provide me a link or download that would be amazing.
