May 04, 2020 Episode 263 - Trans World Sport
Mentioned briefly during our David comma The Gnome episode, Trans World Sport was the program you had to sit through on a weekend morning before kids' tv started. Not good kids' tv though. At least you would learn about sports from around the world. Not good sports though. We were just too lazy to go outside and play. Or even change the channel.

April 20, 2020 Episode 261 - David, The Gnome
Who is your favourite Tom Bosley character? Whatever you just said is wrong, because it's actually David comma The Gnome, the tiny sadistic veterinarian who could easily sneak into your house and kill you because he is stronger than 7 men. Luckily for you he prefers hurting animals, but we all know it's only a matter of time...

April 13, 2020 Episode 260 - Noddy's Toyland Adventures
Noddy. The little gnome in the red and yellow car. Shakey. A nickname for Shakin' Stevens.

It's the first episode in our gnome-ology, as we start looking at shows about gnomes for some reason. And at least this is the least racist version of Noddy. Probably.

April 06, 2020 Episode 259 - The Giddy Game Show
This is a gameshow for pre-schoolers and the questions are easy and boring, so Mark comes up with some more challenging ones instead.

March 30, 2020 Episode 258 - Ragdolly Anna
Pat Coombs roams the countryside with a haunted doll, evading the paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren from out of the Conjuring movies and also real life. They are good at evading the Warrens because you don't see them or hear about them at all in this episode, but they are definitely pursuing Pat and the doll nonetheless.

March 23, 2020 Episode 257 - Lucky Ladders
We haven't done a gameshow for a while, so let's do a gameshow. Which gameshow shall we do? Lucky Ladders with Lennie Bennett? Why not? How do you play Lucky Ladders? Who cares, we're barely paying attention anyway. Sorry, Lucky Ladders fans. Or Lennie Bennett fans.

March 16, 2020 Episode 256 - The Pink Panther
A man tries to paint everything blue, but a panther intervenes and covers the walls with pink paint, instead of the man's blood, which is what would really happen if a panther was on the loose. Yet somehow, the second option seems preferable.

Well here he is, the pink panther, The rinky-dink panther, Isn't he a panther ever so pink?

March 09, 2020 Episode 255 - Cloppa Castle
A show that epitomises all the worst elements of any "forgotten kids' show" creepypasta, Cloppa Castle definitely didn't exist, apart from in your nightmares. And now in ours.

March 02, 2020 Episode 254 - Orm & Cheep
We thought we'd covered all the shows full of haunted raggedy puppets that inhabited our childhoods, but it turns out there's always another haunted raggedy puppet show lurking just around the corner.
