Over the past eighteen months or so, I did a podcast to promote The Golden Age Of Children's TV, in which loads of great guests came on to talk about their favourite Children's TV show. It turned out quite well so I'm going to link to all of them in this thread.. timworthington.org/the-golden-a...

timworthington.orgThe Golden Age Of Children’s TVDo you live in a town? Was it Bill or was it Ben? Who is The Phantom Phlan Plinger? Can you guess what is in it today? Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go out and do something …

My kid told me tonight that they always thought Sharon Osbourne was Ozzy's mum. Like, they thought she was about 70 and Ozzy was in his 50s. "I thought she was just, like, a very supportive helicopter parent!"

My mum and dad said that they're looking forward to the show that I booked tickets for, and asked if I could email them. I hope my face and "suddenly needing the loo" didn't give away that I'd totally forgotten to book them... Or have I been gaslit into buying Illegal Eagles tickets??

I did a factory tour today with a guy who was the double of Reece Shearsmith. I was hoping Here Comes the Hotstepper would play on the radio,. So he would say "I was a very naughty boy to this song!"

This is me at a bonfire aged around 5. I have to assume there are at least several family members on it.

This is from a family get together in the mid 70s in High Wtycombe. For some reason, we all wore masks. I'm the clown, bottom right

This keeps popping into my brain at random moments, and I laugh every time. It's the little bit of jaunty music that makes it genius!

I thought it was AI when I saw someone had posted about The World of David Walliams at Alton Towers. But no, I’ve looked it up properly and it exists and it’s *still* open. But, someone has managed to get this to be the main image in the Google listing…
