It's a bonus episode, because we can't leave well enough alone.

Ever wondered what that really odd animation was involving all sorts of insects and woodland creatures, set to a jaunty psychedelic rock song, which would occasionally crop up on TV in the 80s? In this rogue extra outing - it really is the last one for 2021 - Adam inflicts the 3-minute short upon Heather, and they manage to talk about it for over half an hour.

The Box of Delights (1984)

We're all jolly well going to have a splendiferous time, and try not to get scrobbled by rotters, as Adam and Heather head into a fortuitous snowfall to seek out a copy of Box of Delights... only to find that Box of Delights was contained within their own boxes of delight (no sniggering at the back) the whole time - their online TV streaming services! Hooray! Isn't that just the purple pim?

So join them for the last RetroTube of 2021 (and week four of their Patrick Troughton marathon), crack open the eggnog and whiskey mac, steal all the strawberry Quality Street before anyone else can get their hands on them, play with your new Star Wars figures (I got Greedo and Biker Scout, what did you get?) and enjoy... The Box of Delights.

Maria Jones says: podcasts are boring, we should all just have gun battles with the latest military hardware, and maybe drop bombs on each other, that's be whizzer! But if you must listen to silly old podcasts - yawn - then the least you could do is like, rate, review and share the podcast, before I blast you with my real Colt Peacemaker, just like cowboys had. Pow pow!

Batman - season 1 (1966)

Holy New Season of RetroTube! And it looks like The Caped Crusader and The Boy Wonder will be up against their most fearsome foes yet. In her vivid blue cape and spangly blue mask, Everton Girl will confound the Dynamic Duo by being all Scouse and that, and having a working knowledge of the off-side rule, flanked as always by eleven henchmen with inexplicable hairstyles and even more inexplicable blue shorts. Meanwhile, The Fop is wearing his most fey floral shirt, and is holding Gotham City to ransom by threatening to play In Search of the Lost Chord by The Moody Blues on a dastardly loop, the scoundrel. Be it sight, sound, smell or touch, there is somethink inside we need so much...

It's Heather's turn to inflict her glossy 60s shows onto Adam, but will he have any tolerance at all for Batman's bright colours and frivolous plots, or will the whole thing leave him with a sugar rush and toothache? Find out in this week's exciting instalment of -

RetroTube!
