So here’s part two.
We’ll work out how to stop being so bloody prolific next time, we promise. Stopping ourselves from babbling on about rubbish might help.
Anyhow, this time Piqued and Napoleon take the reins and talk about the remaining Kids TV shows that were left out last time round. Conversation veers wildly between topics as diverse as George Harrison’s fag ends and the difference between Ram-Man and Man-at-Arms out of the Masters of the Universe. The stinking pair also debate whether one of Rod, Jane and Freddie once swore, in the 70s, and this leads to a wager with a very hefty and one-sided price.
We also take in Gregory’s Girl, a now-defunct cinema in a violent Lincolnshire town and false memories of 80s soaps in the all new WWM Podcast!

Sooty WASN’T shit.
He was shit.
Sooty WAS shit, but The Sooty Show wasn’t shit.
Sooty had a mini camper van. I wanted a mini camper van.
Dave – how’d you fit in it?
FOR GOD’S SAKE THINK THESE THINGS THROUGH.
The Sooty Show was shit. The only thing that was shitter than The Sooty Show was the ill-fated ‘World of Sooty’ Museum in Shipley. Without a shadow of a doubt the worst day out I’ve ever had. A drafty olf church hall full of dirty cabinets containing Sooty puppets, dead flies and litter.
Thanks Mothers now I will have something better to listen to other than my kids getting mad at me for having to do thier laundry
I don’t think you’re allowed to say Sooty any more.
What if you’re talking about a chimney? It appears to be sooty? Sooty seems like an acceptable word.
I’m reading a Famous Five book to d1 at the moment and there’s a character in it called Sooty. But he talks, and there are NO CORBETTS around.
NC owes me gummy bears for Rainbow
..not Bungle though
James, you have to say something like “That chimney is of third generation British Afro-Caribbean origin and needs a clean”
Nope I am sure that it still is Sooty, yes it is. I just checked the dictionary.
soot⋅y /ˈsʊti, ˈsuti/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [soot-ee, soo-tee] Show IPA
–adjective, soot⋅i⋅er, soot⋅i⋅est. 1. covered, blackened, or smirched with soot.
2. consisting of or resembling soot.
3. of a black, blackish, or dusky color.
Yes there it is there still in the dictionary
Back of the net!

Hello, I am listening to the part one podcast, and feel that i need to point out that poor SH may also be allergic to pollen from trees or grasses, not just flowers (although it is most likely to be flowers at this time of year)
Hope that hayfever is better swines. Hope your throat wasn’t itchy, which is the worst bit of hayfever
*arrests James’s dictionary*
Fourstar just sent you a package of soot in the mail. Have fun!
*laughs at censorship of the name of the PE Teacher*
I know this the wrong thread for this, but i am on catchup.
Theme tune renditions are tops.
Ha! Gentle Ben! I had completely forgotten that.
The little boy used to pronounce the name a bit like *adopts whiny american small boy voice* ‘beeyan’
Real time comments a week late – get in!
BEEYAN! BEEYAN!
Looks like DJ Sonique might be going the way of Jade Goody.
I liked Sonique’s songs.
I am thoroughly enjoying the Nappers’ Condensed Bible. Lovely.
Not quite Dave, she has, unfortunately, got breast cancer. But yes, poor sonique.
Well, that’s why I said might be. She did a great version of ‘Put A Spell On You’. Not as good as CCR’s but good regardless.
*falls off chair*
‘Being robbed at marshmallow point’
Hilarious
Christ – I’d forgotten Sonique – she was big in the 90s.
Nappers’ Condensed Bible…
*calls publishers*
I am also expecting the Illustrations to appear with this.
Will we be seeing write with mothers website soon? You could call it ‘page turner’!
I was forced to read this condensed bible as a youngster…
http://karenskountrykrafter.com/userfiles/file/TheBeginnersBibleForToddlers.jpg
I was given a bible once by my mother’s very catholic friend. I read the Adam and Eve story and looked up to the giver of this gift and told her it was a nice story, but asked if this meant that the bible was all made up (I was very into zoology from the cradle and was completely full of infoormation about evolution). I got a clipped ear for that one
I think a lot of people get confused as to whether they should see the bible as allegory or fact.
All I know is I wanted to see the two sheep and the squirrel on the link above have a larger part to play.
God hates animals.
Brush strokes – kerrrrist!
Is Mel currently in another universe or have I missed something?
GOD HATES ANIMALS AND I AM GOING TO USE WATCH WITH MOTHERS AS A FORUM ON WHICH TO ANNOUNCE THIS FACT!
IF YOU BELIEVE IN GOD THEN YOU WANT PUPPIES TO BE TORTURED AND GOLDFISH TO BE BOILED ALIVE!
I am a committed atheiest, but still think that could be entertaining dave
* No, I don’t
Fourstar – i have been away this week, so I am listening to the first part of podcast 6, because i think that would be more sensible than trying to start with part 2.
NC – you do not produce proper spermatozoa until you reach puberty (re the little boy activity in the womb)
Oh I see. Well, that makes sense then. Carry on. Sorry.
Brush Strokes!
Elmo… that red haired girl Jacko loved… that bloke out of Vicar of Dibley… the sly insinuation Jacko was having it away with that bloke off Vicar of Dibley’s wife… it was a classic sitcom.
OK, real time listening to the actual podcast that we are discussion now.
I enjoyed Fraggle Rock at the beginning
The witch in chorlton and the wheelies was called Fenella. I may have mentioned this before
Hello?
*spits on screen and writes name in it*
Is anyone out there?
Swap shop had Noel Edmonds and Mike Reid (not the one that was in eastenders, the Radio one DJ one) I know this and i *watched* tiswas.
*thinks* Hmm, what i could do with is one of those handy little gizmos on the site that will allow idiots like me to do italics for emphasis….
Okay Nappers I have a few corrections for you The Masters of The Universe was a good film in it’s day. It wasn’t SheRa in the movie it was Teela. And the only reason it did suck was that Dolf Lundgren played Adam/He-Man. Seriously couldn’t they cast them better?
And with rumors that a new movie is to be done and released in 2011 some jabronis took it upon themselves to creat this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zffk-Lw8cwE
I give it a 9/10 for the first 3 seconds then about 2/10 for the rest. It sucked that much.
SH – Did you watch Psychoville?
*curses the day that stupid recording telly was invented as nobody ever watches things the night they are actually on*
Hello James, I think it is just you and I in at the moment. I am catching up with the podcast, and trying to do some work, for a bloody change!
James – We’re on about the He-Man and She-Ra movie. The cartoon? With She-Ra in it? Yes?
OOOOH clarry – hello. I didn’t know you were around as well.
I agree with Nappers and Piqued about Claire Grogan
You’re right, Clarry – we all sit around at work unable to talk about interesting viewing as one person on the desk hasn’t seen it yet and starts bleating.
Which is why we hang out on here I suppose.
Hello Nappers. I have cleared up a couple of your questions re the podcast, you’re welcome.
jesus, you’ve all come back. Hello everyone. I have been talking to myself and pretending i am POB for a while, then you all come back. Good, now i can chat to you
Hello, Clarry. Thanks for that. I would have replied sooner, only I’ve accidentally stapled my testicles to the wall and I’m waiting for the fire brigade.
I am sure i used to know a rugby song along similar lines.
Oh that one, yeah I remember that one. However I am going to take you back in time.
1987
Masters Of The Universe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhuaKBsf0es
Probably didn’t change your view on it too much!
OMG – piqued, an old lady vomit excrement -uuuurgh.
Sorry … I didn’t mean ‘Clarry’, I meant ‘Mel’.
MY BALLS!
Poor nappers.
*rubs it better*
That’s true sadly, Mel
I did watch Psychowilly, highly recommended –sadly SH didn’t watch it (I sent him to bed without any tea after threw his fathers Airfix Spitfire out of the landing window) so please do not discuss it for now
Mitchel and Webb? From last night, anyone?
I thought it was great, much better than the first one.
My god, how screwed up must that lady’s innards have been. Poor lady.
I actually did watch this, but i had just got back from a couple of really awful, long, hard days in Brussels. So i managed not to actually absorb a single detail about it, I don’t even kmow who was in it. Perhaps i had shell shock.
Reverend Audrey came from Stroud, near where i was brought up. I met him once, he was an awful man who hated children. I never uunderstood why he wrote kiddies books. He was giving a display of thomas the tank engine trains, and then he smacked this poor boy on the hand when he went to pick one up. Never meet your heroes folks. Look at the disappointment and humiliation that poor lad suffered.
Yeah, it was okay. It’s not a patch on Peep Show though is it -and Mitchell is a better character actor which displaces it somewhat.
I was referring to Psychoville, but i think i also saw that Mitchell and Webb thing with my eyes without processing any of that at all.
It was the Rev Awdry, Mel… quite refreshing to hear of a priest that hates kids too, most of them seem to want to fuck ‘em
The old dear that barfed up the plop died about 10 minutes later, thank fuck. The smell was indescribable.
*gets semi*
I am currently enjoying the schadenfreude of nappers betting one of piqued’s balls, and subsequently making claim to having stapled his own ball to the wall.
*is only slightly embarassed at the looks her colleagues are giving at her wheile she is giggling like a schoolgirl*
Poor NC
BTW, didn’t Rod Jane and Freddie get their own show at one point?
Or am i thinking of the parody that Hale and Pace did?
*confused*
Also, which of you had a small child shouting in the background?
Aw, now i feel like i need to listen to more.
That whole podcast in two parts was acers.
However, I am not able to review on I-tunes for some reason that does nott make itself clear to me. Boo.
That was the kid in my cupboard
Well I am finally off, two girls take 2 hours to get ready each. Now I just have to rip Twilight while I am gone to put on thier PSPs before they go to thier dads.
:s
Talks to self again
Well Mel, I thought it was good, didn’t you?
Yes, Fiona, it certainly was. I laughed audibly in my office.
So did I Mel, so did I
Twighlight – is that that well dodgy abstinence allegory about vampires in a school, james?
Yes it is
Twilight is dreadful. I took My 13 year old to it. I fell asleep….
I’ve just found a cricketer. Hurrah.
It sounds dreadful, but then we are not the target audience.
‘I’ve just found a cricketer. Hurrah.’
er, well done FS
*runs away quickly*
“I’m prepared to bet one of your balls”
My new sig.
piqued: I was down to 8 for Sunday, then I emailed someone who suddenly remembered he could play – as can his mate. So I have 10 now. Which is good.
Want to play a Twenty20 in Victoria Park?
I am not sure that will fit in the little space they have on credit cards, and passport application forms 4*
*joins piqued in running away*
Oddly I might be there on sunday at some point, if I see some guys playing cricket I’ll have a squat at silly midoff to indentify myself
Really? Excellent. Pitch Two. We’ve got kit.
Fancy first change from the deer enclosure end?
Seriously, if I see some chaps I’ll yell ‘Piqued’ and see what happens
*gets beaten to death*
…I mean ‘Fourstar,’ I’m Piqued
Well, it could be a good way of identifying yourself Piqued. Also, if it is other cricketers, they won’t know what you are going on about either way.
Go for it. Half of them know me as Fourstar from Twitter anyway…
Er, I’m not “from Twitter”. My passport doesn’t state “Place of Birth: Twitter”. That would be insane.
And would also make you about 3 years old.
So you are ‘Fourstar from twitter’, and your signature reads ‘I’m prepared to bet one of your balls’. Do you have problems going through immigration ever?
Infinitives: I split ‘em.
Okay FS, if I’m there, I’m a yellin’
piqued: Awesome.
No doubt it will be as I am about to smite a mighty four, at which point I will be distracted by shouting and miss the ball which will trickle onto my stumps and lose us the game by 1 run.
But hey. Awesome.
Fourstar – this is gentleman’s relish – right?
If that is the case, these are the kind of chaps that probably would wear fancy dress, so you will be able to recognise him by his long golden locks *cough* wig *cough*, Piqued. I am aware of one of their members who plays in all manner of silly mustaches and regularly goes places dressed as a Spanish Inquisitor.
Have you all POETS?
Bah
I shall be trying to head off soon. Going straight to Boscombe to splash about in the sea….
Mel: Indeed it is. I’m not sure if Ian’s coming though. I might encourage moustaches though.
Well, I am going home on time after a tough week.
Have lovely weekends all, and I will have to see you all on Thursday. Next week i am being forced to go on a ’staff retreat’ to discuss ‘values’ and also to camp with my colleagues in tents. Bah.
Enjoy the sea Nick.
If all cricketers dressed as various historical characters from the catholic priesthood, I might actually watch it, four star.
Well that can be arranged, we just need access to Antonia’s shed
Great, I will back in that London in August, so still in season.
*awaits invite to box*
Ok, now i really am going home.
HAV LUVLEE WEEKENDZ
I did have a great time splashing in the sea.
Loverly!
According to the internet, Naps owes Piqued a bag of gummy bears
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roobarb
Wikipedia?
HA HA HA H HA HA!
Yeah we already settled that, ‘off air’, so to speak. Napoleon seemed to accept defeat at that point…
Piqued still owes him a ball.
hellooo
bored
anyone in?
I know i’m like 7 light years behind the times, but just been catching up on podcasts and Naps impression of Prof. Stephen Hawkings made me dun a laff. Plus Piqued’s impression of John Peel makes him sound like he’s from brum not liverpool.
Proof if more where needed

So were the kid’s TV podcasts a brutal satire on student fucks grunting “oh wow do you remember Chorlton & The Wheelies it was AMAZING!” at each other, despite not remembering anything about it and being born years after it was last aired? If so, they were works of genius.
All the content that wasn’t to do with kid’s TV shows you guys didn’t remember was mint, however.
scissorkicks – there were what they were. Free footage of men waffling and arguing.
