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.

Rice! Carolgees! Trinder! Moult! The fab four! I honestly feel there's a moment in this where I nearly lost consciousness from laughing at our own stupidity. Watch it on the big telly!

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.

Lovelife by Lush - top forty-averse noisescapers take big-trainered detour into top twenty-skirting indiepop with songs about bad dates, semi-roadworthy cars, the lot of the singleton and telling Jarvis Cocker to sling his hook only to find tabloids don't 'get' it.

I'm surprised how defensive I just got when listening to an American podcast host dismiss a British comedy film because they hadnt heard of any of the cast. Especially when that film was "Morons From Outer Space".

Last one of these today at 11am. Singles by popular acts that rarely get a spin from JoBoxers, The Beloved, M, The Wannadies, Duran Duran, Ben Folds Five, SFA and, of course, Doop. Plus many more!
