Why are all game shows set like they're in a special sex nightclub these days? Dingy purple and blue everywhere, zero warmth. And you dont even get to see it going in.

Lest we forget "Its Only Rock N Roll" was the bookies favourite for Christmas number 1 at one point. But they made the fatal mistake of it being fucking rubbish.

I'm very confused by the Muller adverts where people stare at others eating their yogurts in an apparently "unacceptable" way. ITS JUST LIKE "1984" AND THERE'S NOT EVEN ANNIE LENNOX SINGING "YOGURT CRIMES" THIS TIME.

A show that still produces excited welps in people my age who were allowed to watch dirty ITV! I still pine for a proper DVD release of this before we lose any more of the brilliant minds behind it.

I honestly cannot tell you how I hurt from laughing at this the first time. Even as a 12 year old, I knew that sort of insane European animation from Channel 4 when it had any worth. Krusty's reaction still breaks me every time. Perfect comic timing.
