Channel 4 Complaint Line
Back in 1997-98 or so, me and my mate used to visit the pub a little too often. After kicking out time, we'd stumble back to our house and switch on the telly to watch 'Vids' on late night Channel 4. We liked it. And then the series ended. We didn't like that.

So we decided to complain. We rang the Channel 4 complaints line and complained. Except. Each night we returned from the pub, worse for wear, we'd fish out the Channel 4 complaints line number, dial it up, and begin complaining, and as this went on, our complaints became tinged with a sort of 'persecution complex' - "WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US!?!? WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO YOU!?!" type stuff (I think there may have been some "crying" as well). There must have been about a dozen phone calls all up.

'Vids' got a second series. Coincidence?

I like this.
Why is it not on now? It was absolutely brilliant, and must have been literally the most low-budget programme on TV at the time!

Vids was fantastic.
I'd completely forgotten all about it. You get a click for reminding me of it's existence. Cheers!

I loved Vidz you also couldn't beat a bit of Noisy Mothers or Raw Power and Box Office America was good too, and Get Stuffed the cooking show made on a budget of like £3 was great as well.
