The show that's not quite Robot Wars! Bamzooki was the BBC's 2004 attempt at breaking into the """diGiTaL sPaCE"""
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.

Raven

"Let the challenge....................... BEGIN!"
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

Bratz ft. Arthur Loades

Stylin'! Rockin'!! Slammin'!!! Love it!!!!
This week we're joined by very special guest Arthur Loades - no.1 fan of 2000s doll sensation, the BRATZ!
Hated by parents and loved by... we don't really know who loved by...
Sasha, Jade, Cloe, and Yasmine are the girls with a passion for fashion (and a truly dreadful tv show from which we simply can't look away).
In this episode, we talk toy commercials, the apparent difficulty of naming 140 separate dolls, and the tv movie Bratz Rock Angels.
"Mother of Pink! It's Honolulu me..."
