It gets worse . . .
Hi 5 (Junk music for kids), The Wiggles, Dora the Explorer . . . the list of junk music goes on and on . . .


Back in my day, we had Play School, Rainbow and The Wombles . . . good clean, children's music . . .

Dio's lyrics were a bit 'O' Level, I grant you,
but I wouldn't call Rainbow children's music.



Ahahahah Monty you card, you.

Watching the ABC in the 70s and 80s . . .

Except Play School - which had local actors

Well your very lucky, we have to pay for that shit!

I was really pissed and had partaken in other substabances in acrappy nightclub at Uni, when I heard a strange yet familier voice, I looked around and there was zippy and george doing an appearance...I was very confused and a little scared

I was once out of my mind in a mate's car
driving along the Embankment, and when we stopped at the lights, alongside us was The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo, which was excellent.

It was some Nickelodeon promotional thing but still smart.

I had visions of the "Doobie Snacks" scene from "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back"
after reading that description.

Mind you, the same channel used to broadcast
"The Goodies" at 4-ish, after school, when kids had come home and were likely to want to watch before dinner.

Legless tells me in the UK it was billed as a more adult programme. Kids' TV here.
