Teaching kids history UK style. I guarantee you’ll learn more about Charles the Second in the next few minutes than you ever learned at school.
I just love this stuff, and it’s so brilliantly written I’m not surprised the show got an award.
Matthew Baynton at his peak!

I'm #watching The Man in Room 17, a 1960s #UKTV show about an expert who is consulted on odd criminal cases. He doesn't leave the office, like Nero Wolfe, though in this case his Archie Goodwin also stays inside.
The current case involves a pretty woman, the secretary of a presumed industrial spy. Dimmock (the assistant) says he'll call her and offer to hire her at twice the pay, to see her boss's reaction.
Oldenshaw (the boss) notes how curious it is that Dimmock's imagination blossoms when a female appears in a case. Dimmock picks up the phone to call, and Oldenshaw says he'll call: "I'll speak to her like an uncle."
"A libidinous uncle," retorts Dimmock.
"The word is li-BYE-din-ous, dear boy," says Oldenshaw, stressing that the second vowel is long.
Except, no, says the Oxford English #Dictionary, and Merriam-Webster agrees. (And yes, I did just type 900 characters over what may have been a joke I missed. It's one of those nights.) #OED

From the British Fantasy Society:
In his semi-regular column on the TV that made us SFFH fans, Gary Couzens revisits Escape Into Night—a children's serial adapted from Catherine Storr's novel Marianne Dreams, and later remade as the film Paperhouse.

#plebs #comedy #uk #uktv #Britain #england #funny #silly #rome
I always loved “Plebs”, and if you haven’t seen the show you’re really missing a treat. I can only describe it as “Blackadder” set in Ancient Rome. Grumio (the slave) is a Roman Baldrick, and uses a crazy kind of logic which occasionally makes sense. When a neighbour’s cat swallows his lottery ticket, Grumio discusses the chance of winning with his master Marcus. The 50/50 line never fails to make me laugh!!

Husband And Wife Stars Of ‘Meet The Richardsons’ Comedy Announce They’re To Divorce

Hey folks, hope you all had a good day yesterday wither you were celebrating Christmas or not. Hope you had a great day. and I hope you’re having a great day reading this today on whatever day it is when you read it. Were now in that part of Christmas between Christmas and new years. it’s less of an issue now a days because I’ve rarely had that much time off but when I was a kid the week off between them when it wasn’t a week day it was not Christmas day or new years. You were in a kind of middle timeless zone. It’s an odd time because the tv isn’t regular tv there’s films on and things. maybe the regular presenters are still not back. Actually speaking of telly to go on a tangent was there every another kids show like The Den here in Ireland where the presenters would find themselves on Christmas eve helping Santa Clause or going on some big festive adventure. Zig and Zag, Dustin and Socky have saved Christmas I don’t know how many times. Not to say we took it for granted or anything these felt epic. I should say for people a bit younger or folks out of the republic of Ireland. The Den was a show where presenter Ian Dempsey followed by lots of others during the years would be joined by very colourful characters originally Zig and Zag two aliens from the planet Zog who had made earth and Dublin city their home. And on Christmas eve they would somehow end up at the north poll where if you can belive it the once apparently a puppet (although they were faking being a puppet) Podge tired to stop Christmas from happening. Zig and Zag, later Dustin and Socky and the presenter would then save the day. But here’s the thing about the den. the den wasn’t a adventure series. The den was actually more of a programing block. in the evenings they would show kids tv shows. and the den was a kind of wrap around where they would tell you what was coming up. what you’d just seen. But in that it was a kind of univserse in itself there was Ted a teddy bear that would fly in and attack Ray Darcey (one of the presenters of the Den) There was Podge and later Rodge two villain characters (podge and rodge would go on to have two late night series of their own both very un kid friendly but completely hilarious) there was also Zuppy a puppy from Zog there was Socky a sock monster and of course Dustin the turkey who had many hit songs as well as a eurovison entry.
I’ll be honest folks when I started writing today I thought I’d write about that point in time in between Christmas and new years but here we are talking about this utterly iconic tv show. The people behind all of this I are geniuses. I don’t say that lightly they truly are. I mean there’s a reason Zig and Zag are equally iconic in the UK where they had other tv shows.
All this to say, Thank you Zig, Zag, Dustin and Socky and all the brilliant presenters for saving Christmas.
Well, eh. is it still a tangent if you never get back to the original thing?
anyway hope you’re all having a great day and see ya next time where who knows what I’ll talk about.

I still miss “The Day Today,” and how Doon kept a straight face during her business reports I’ll never know. Saying that, they make more sense than most genuine business broadcasts.
Here’s a “best of” in case you’re bored and fancy a look.
