Thots TV
Ground Control
We dive DEEP into British children's telly! From puppet cacti to deadly gameshows, we're taking a nostalgic trip to an era in which Barney Harwood was King. Everything you forgot that you loved throughout the 90s and 2000s? Well for some reason, we remember it all. And we're going to talk about it. (A podcast for adults seeking Highbrow Cultural Commentary - not for kids!)

🔒 Bonus Episode 1: Hot Molasses
Thots TV

Welcome, esteemed guests, to the land beyond the Paywall!
This is our very first bonus episode - it's like a normal episode but with no structure and no focus! What a treat for your ears.
We cannot thank you enough for your support. We are so very grateful.
Have a stunning Christmas. All our love,
Laura/Meg/Elsie (thots)

Raven

Grim Reaper men disappearing children in the Scottish Highlands? A man in leather trousers allowing it to happen? Forest-based homoeroticism? It can only be RAVEN!
We had so much to say on this long-awaited topic - it's a miracle that we got it down to a very respectable 75 minutes. Please enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording (and researching, and rewatching, and rewatching, and rewatching...)
Tangents/digressions/wormholes: the quiet melancholy of The Proclaimers' music, football post-match interviews, and the partition of India and Pakistan (sort of).Support the show Get bonus content on Patreon

Hola! Soy the Thots from Thots TV!
We're back for season 4 and we're kicking off with an episode voted for by YOU.
Of all the shows within the monkey-sidekick genre, this is our least favourite of all time, but we don't care because we love and respect your choices.
Tangents include: educational CD-ROMs of the early 2000s, the world's biggest media franchises, and the dangers of LEAD.
We're delighted to be back for the new series - thank you for your patience!!!

Ooooh! Scandalous!
It's a rare LAURA episode which means we're hopping over the pond to the Disney channel.
You can expect tangents involving dogs, snakes, wasps, and hamsters.
Apologies for the delayed upload and thanks for sticking with us!

Teletubbies
Thots TV
11/07/24 • 114 min
EH OH!
After alluding to it in many other episodes, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa Laa and Po are FINALLY getting almost two hours (sorry) to themselves.
Maybe the most globally well-known of Ragdoll Productions' productions, this show is the King of all under-5s entertainment. We really hope that we have done justice to this ground-breaking piece of media - and maybe now, we'll never have to talk about it ever again.
We reference the documentary Big Hug! The Story of the Teletubbies a lot in this episode, and we really recommend that you give it a watch to properly appreciate the amazing work of the team behind this show.
See you in two weeks!

Children of the Stones
Thots TV
10/10/24 • 112 min
"Leave the stones? You never will."
Described as "inappropriately" scary, this 1976 drama is considered to be a landmark in quality children's drama. And to be honest, it is.
British film was in the middle of a psychedelic folk-horror experiment, and it somehow managed to trickle down to ITV children's broadcasting. This is the result; a generation of traumatised adults!
We'll be discussing atonal caterwauling, received pronunciation, the burning sexual chemistry between Veronica Strong and Gareth Thomas, and why people seem to hate Morris dancing.
Happy day!

A long and complicated production history, a cameo from Hewlett Packard, and a ridiculously large budget resting on the computing skills of nine-year-olds. Hilarity ensues!
In this re-watch, we laugh cruelly at the comedy acting skills of children; the weird and wonderful naming conventions of the creatures known as "zooks"; and the class and gravitas brought to the show by the incomparable Jake Humphrey.
