The ToughPigs Pride Month fundraiser is past the halfway point - you still have time to donate to some great causes and win Muppety prizes!
There's never been anything like this online before, collating all the various scraps of info on Oh No, Not Them. I guarantee you'll learn something you never knew before. I'm so proud of this if you're a friend DM me and I'll send you a trial membership so you can read it free.
New post exclusively on Nigel Planer's Patreon! Even a casual comedy fan has heard rumours the US made an unaired pilot of The Young Ones. But what do we actually know? I've spent 36 years digging around the internet sorting the myths from the truths. www.patreon.com/posts/129927...

I heard it in RadioActive but misremembered it as Burkiss Way, muddying the trail. It was @outonbluesix.bsky.social who realised RadioActive was the source.
Big fan of Rachel's ouvre.

This is my reply.
Bizarre thing happened to me yesterday that my teenage self would not believe. I was playing at the gig to celebrate the life of the genius that was Neil Innes. Whilst waiting backstage to go on, Michael Palin sang the lumberjack song to me, in German.
And me watching.
No, but I do run his Patreon.
Anniversary of this dream.
Chilling. That portable video game was all we had before smartphones.
Watched it for the first time in full recently, after only it's fourth airing in the UK ever. Fuck me, it's bleak. Though my school days did look like that.
I love that they realised they don't have to cram every character into an episode, and can even add more if they want. Also actual character development rather than returning to the status quo.
They turned a kids' show into one for adults.
In the nicest way, Twin Peaks vibes.

This is going to stay up forever as a historic artefact, like those faded pre-war murals advertising Bovril.
