Favourite Children's TV Programmes
After reading the LJs of many of my friends this week, I can only hope that things will improve in their lives and that August will greet them more favourably than July seems to be ending. If you need to chat, feel free to email/IM/phone me and I will try and support all I can.
In a week that has seen technical errors professionally, a high volume of stress through a lack of communication, people bitching at me for no discernable reason and my friend's funeral on Tuesday, I can hardly say things have gone particularly well for me either.
Added to this is that this is my first week back at work and I have another 10 months of this bullshit to get through before my next holiday (EF aside admittedly). It's fair to say that I am not anticipating the coming weeks and months. My next day off is not until a week tomorrow and the stress levels are already through the roof. I hate being messed about and a lot of people seem to be doing that to me at the moment.
Anyway, as it's Friday, let's try and lighten the mood by talking about children's TV programmes, past and present. And come to think of it, some of them had kinky undertones that may have ignited something in my young brain. My favourites probably were:
Knightmare (which looks hideously dated now but at the time was shit your pants scary. Ariadene, the huge spider which was effectively a teranchula under a magnifying glass, triggered my arachnophobia)
Woof! (which is what got me into being furry - I wanted to be the dog more than the freckly ginger kid. Plus Lisa Goddard :D)
Fun House (which probably ignited my first kink - WAM. I always yearned to go on that show and it had more to do with being gunged than Melanie and Martina's jiggling breasts. For the same reason I liked Noel's House Party, although Noel's beard was always offputting)
The Animals Of Farthing Wood (probably the best kids' programme ever made and a programme that taught me empathy for the first time)
Through The Dragon's Eye (latex pervy green dragon, people coloured in green, purple or orange body paint, Wookie like racoon fursuiting midgets and an obsession with gold glowing "Veetons" - not bad for a programme that is now 20 years old)
Rainbow (Zippy: Introducing gimps at an early age plus George: The pinkest, gayest hippo in the world. I model myself on him. Plus Bungle The Bear - the campest fursuiter in the world (which is saying something). Jane has a pair of lovely maracas too)
Bananaman (For when Eric eats a banana he becomes some sort of slinky lyrca man with a big chin)
Button Moon (We're off to Button Moon, we'll follow Mr Spoon... in a rocket that is quite clearly an empty Fairy Liquid bottle blacked out due to advertising laws. And apparently, he had to press the red button to land...)
Wizadora (What would happen if the characters from the Wizard of Oz met a talking coathanger and settled in the Hertfordshire commuter belt. Plus the actress' name was Wendy Van Der Planck which always caused amusement)
Sooty (Not the crappy Sooty & Co but the one preceding it when Thames Television was still in existence. I so wanted a glove child with Soo...)
Bodger & Badger (There was more than just cream and butter in that mashed potato, I am sure of it)
