    Promo The Dead Donkey

    Here’s a series of different little promos for the Channel 4’s Drop The Dead Donkey. One for an Australian airing. These circle idents were always really nice. This was a bizarre competition Channel 4 once ran. One for Paramount Comedy. And one for a VHS release. Finally, something they made for Amnesty.

    As Time Goes By Bits

    I didn’t realise that As Time Goes By was created by Colin Bostock-Smith, assuming as I did that Bob Larbey created it. He wrote all of the episodes after all.

    Here’s a little rare treat, some continuity before the start of an episode of Filthy, Rich & Catflap. I particularly enjoy the way he enunciates the show’s title. Enjoy.

What’s interesting about the Razzle Dazzle segment, other than the titilation, is watching a…

    Christmas On The BBC 1985

    Plenty of Christmas continuity here, with some trigger warnings for S*ville and P*lanski. I find the robins charming, and seeing the weird clash of comedies that were sharing the airwaves then is always interesting. Imagine what the Breakfast panto was like, and it was nice to see an ‘ad’ for The Listener.

    Nineteen 90s Shows

    I wrote another book about television. I like television. I like television so much that the first thing I modelled and printed on my new 3d printer was this … I made some more after that too. There’s a few more, including TVS, ATV, and HTV, but I bought you here to talk about my…

    Re-Casting Keanu

    Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him eight years older than Clive Dunn was when he was first cast in Dad’s Army. But don’t panic, Clive Dunn was always playing much older characters than his own age. Keanu Reeves is 56. That makes him seven years older than Stephanie Cole was when she was first…
