on the other topic that was introduced by the starry one, i used to watch all those fab cartoons - dangermouse, bananaman, et.al. but i must say G-Force were my favourites.... Flippin' eck, and here's me having spent half the day ensnared in the clutches of that tv.cream thing that Rodddd (a bad influence on _this_ cartoon nostalgic at the least) posted the URL for, and looking for stuff on G-Force (or Gatchaman, as I have learnt the original version was called, or Battle of the Planets as _another_ alternate identity) at the very moment when this email arrived. I only ever saw a couple of episodes of G-Force (the American version), because when my family were living in Nigeria our next-door neighbours had a video of the aforesaid, which we watched religiously, interspersed with viewings of Star Wars. Anyway, a top programme in the comedy-robot-also-included vein (see Ulysses 31 for another comedy robot sidekick).

these past few days i have had stuartm counting "1,2,3,4.." (like at the beginning of mayfly) in my head, with the result that i have been marching around town everywhere in time to his counting!! and no matter how hard i try, i cannot break the rhythm. When "We Rule The School" gets into my head, it's impossible to get rid of (not that I'd really want to), and I find myself muttering "on a BEECH tree rudely CARVED, NC loved ME" to myself as I stride around to the rhythm

OK, who watched Round The Bend on ITV in the late 80s? It had nicely scatological spoofs of Thundercats ("Thunderpants", led by the mighty Y-Front-O and facing the deadly evil of Bum-Ra) and He-Man, amongst others. Oh, and "Jamie and the Magic Kilt" ("What shall I pull oot frae under ma kilt today, kids?") was also on it. Oh oh oh! I just found Look & Read! Ah, the joys of watching Dark Towers and Geordie Racer just after break at junior school... thus engendered. Ho hum.

hasta la vista, Liz.
