"She wants to be flowers, but you make her owls. You must not complain, then, if she goes hunting."

The 60s are calling on the Alan Garner phone and it's finally the decade of the teenager! It's what we like to call an Els-indulgent episode, and these as you know, tend to be long (sorry).

What you are about to hear is a spirited 2.5 hour long discussion of a landmark piece of children's media.

The Owl Service is a soaringly romantic 1969 drama based on the 1967 book of the same name. It grapples with heady themes such as social class, generational trauma, jealousy, and betrayal. Many felt at the time that this psychosexual retelling of a Welsh folk-tale, playing itself out between three adolescents, was too adult for a child audience. It probably is, and that is one of the many reasons we love it.

CW: brief discussion of sexual assault, and OBVIOUSLY SPOILERS.

Give yourself a shiny!!!

Here is some classic 2000s Cbeebies content for you. We've got puppets, we've got repetitive musical stings, and we've got learning about Places and Concepts.

We also discuss daytime TV property shows, Sir Alan Sugar's recent Twitter activity, and the menace of magpies.

We are so terribly sorry about the lateness of this episode, and we thank your for your patience. We all went to Greece for a week. To be fair, we really needed it.

Who's the Governor? YOU'RE THE GOVERNOR!!!

This is a VERY important episode. The Slammer means a tremendous deal to us, it is one of the greatest shows ever made, and if you agree with us it means you have good taste and are really cool and pretty.

It also happens to be a who's who of Thots TV favourites (well, mainly our Queen of Hearts Ian Kirkby).

We also discuss in this episode the history of variety shows in Britain, the perviness of George Formby lyrics, and which uniform is the most sexy.

If you can't sing, dance, or rhyme... DON'T DO THE CRIME!!!

QUAAAACK!

It's the older (and not quite as good but still really good) cousin of Tots TV.

Rosie and Jim is about two demonic imps who haunt a houseboat and ruin the lives of three adorable retired citizens.

We also discuss Meg's online shopping habits, our A-level drama teacher, Laura's childhood McDonald's, and pneumatic tubes.

SUGAR! SPICE! AND EVERYTHING NICE!

It's a Laurisode once again. Meg and Elsie have NEVER SEEN THE POWERPUFF GIRLS and Laura is going to put an end to that.

Other topics: Elsie's love of '66 Batman, Elsie's love of the Beatles, and a falling-out Meg and Laura had seven years ago.

What show has three children struggling to complete a 7-piece jigsaw, an adult man beefing with kids for not swimming fast enough, and the prospect of being trapped inside a giant monkey's belly for all time?

This week we're finally delivering on a highly requested episode indeed - Jungle Run!

Also discussed: nudity, our sixth-form college principal, and more nudity.

Season 7 is HERE AT LAST!

We're kicking off with Thots favourites Ivor Wood and Michael Bond. The Herbs is an intensely boring show (perfect for a season premiere) but if there's one thing your three hosts love to do, it's find the positives in anything involving hand-crafted puppets and talking animals.

We also discuss the history of Watch With Mother, the subjective ranking of herbs, and a shopping bag full of loose curry.

Thank you for your patience! We had a much needed rest, and now we're ready for a very exciting season indeed.

Content warning: discussion of racism in The Herbs.

You wait six seasons for a Sarah Jane Adventures episode and then two come along at once!

This is part two of a very special season finale indeed, and it is about one of our favourite shows that we've covered (although we tend to say this about all the dramas...)

We are carrying on straight from part one so get it listened!

We also discuss the trend of subject-specific secondary school school names (did any of us REALLY attend a "science college"), Meg nearly moving to Canada, Laura ACTUALLY moving to Singapore, and the time we all threw toast out of our living room window onto parked cars like a bunch of delinquents.

THANK YOU for being with us throughout six seasons. We never would have made it this far without you, and we are so very grateful.

NAEBODY MOVE!

This was originally a bonus Patreon episode that came out in August, and was always going to eventually make its way onto our main feed. This is the sort of fun we get up to on there, and we wanted to give you a little peak behind the curtain.

This is something we have decided to call an Els-indulgent episode (get it?!)

Due to our immense fondness of the character Harry Batt (and the numbers our Dick and Dom episode did), we are reviewing the greatest pilot that never went to series.

Please enjoy this short and sweet appreciation of everybody's favourite 2007/1970s detective inspector.

Well, it's about time.

The original plan was one episode about the entire Sarah Jane series. How naive we were.

So here is part 1 of hopefully a Tracy Beaker style ongoing saga of everything Sarah Jane (and Sarah Jane adjacent...)

Technically, this is the finale of season 6!!! And how lovely that we get to end the season with possibly the best children's drama of the 2000s - argue in the comments. We loved every second of making this episode and we can't wait to share our love of The Sarah Jane Adventures with you.

See you next time for the (actual) finale!
