Was listening to Radio 1 this morning at work, Andi Peters was on the Chris Moyles Show. Andi Peters used to present CBBC in The Broom Cupboard and is surly remembered fondly by anybody who grew up in the 1980s.
During the show (which is currently available on the “Listen Again” service) he talked about cult classic TV shows like Around the World in 80 Days and Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, all favourites of mine when I was about seven. Until today I never knew Mr. Peters was only eighteen years old when the presented the after-school show along with Ed the Duck. Adults and even late teens seem so much older when your very young.
Today’s radio feature got me thinking of classic kids TV shows I used to watch and wondered if they were out on DVD. I already have the excellent Round the Twist (as regular visitors to this site will know) but have been desperate for the hilarious Maid Marian to get a release. Well, after a quick search on Play.com I can now reveal that the best children’s comedy ever, Maid Marian and Her Merry Men will be released on a double disc DVD on 20th March 2006.
The title has now been pre-ordered and I’ll eagerly await the delivery.
Marian!
Why don’t you carry on with what you’re doing
Cause there’s always trouble brewing
You’ve got to find a way to make a better day
Oh Marian!
Why don’t you carry on with your merry men
And make heroes out of each of them
You’ve got to find a space to make a better place
Oh Marian, oh Marian

More than 10,000 people have complained to media watchdog Ofcom about Saturday's Britain's Got Talent, which featured a Black Lives Matters-inspired routine by dance troupe Diversity.

This Derby County fan really doesn't like Leeds United. If you ever wanted to know what "bitter" sounds like, here you go... Considering the caller was on the verge of tears at the prospect of Derby giving Leeds a 'Guard of Honour', I can't imagine he would have taken this very well... ...

Channel Four recently showed a documentary on people who go dogging. I only realised it had been on, when I noticed social media had gone into meltdown over the programme's content and the individuals who took part in it.
Being the inquisitive type, I downloaded the documentary - which had been given the rather witty name,... - Uproar In A Bed
I'm a little late to the party with this blog post, considering it is about a bit of telly from last week.
The TV show I am referring to is Four in a Bed. If you have never seen this programme before, you are missing out.
The gist of it involves four sets of bed and breakfast... - Eva Braun’s Boys
With all these British comedies being withdrawn from television schedules and streaming services, due to historical instances of racism, I am hoping that the BBC will shortly be removing Mrs. Brown's Boys.
As far as I am aware, the series has never been accused of being racially offensive. I just want it gone because it's shit.

So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
