Dusty Rhodes Enters WrestleMania VI to the Wheel of Fortune Theme YouTube video by soulmaniac

I swear this really made it to a DVD set - the original track being in a rights dispute at the time, this was used instead:

I have got to get this ift thing for us, save me doing it manually twice a week.

Good to know, I'd hate something as relatively wholesome as that to have succumbed to the slop.

Timed to perfection, I presume ITN will find their own stringers and reporters, I know they did round here once (a post sacking Christa Aykroyd was one)

By which I mean real puppets, sets etc.

Tiny Chef? That was definitely proper stop motion in its Nickelodeon days, but where it is now it's online only I didn't know.

The discussion on rudeness here is quite useful.

If this is you (someone who, well meaning, sends a separate "hi," "how are you?" or something before getting to what you want to ask) - I ask you please to read this helpful webpage. It's really best not to do it, and the site will explain why

Like the Subway stuff where it's got that natural latex texture because the glutens are replaced with something with a longer shelf life.

She's there entertaining the crowd as all this unfolds, I thought she was on camera more, but apparently not.

My acquaintances at @pantosplaining.bsky.social have only recently discussed the extra curricular work of Carol Lee Scott, and I was desperately trying to find this to show them. Now I don't have to, thanks!

Just bear this in mind as you watch this.
There’s being SCARED of heights… Then there’s ME.
There’s no word for the scale of terror I have when it comes to being more than 4ft off the ground - Hence why I’ve never applied to host Blue Peter.
Here, I discovered what colour fear was.
From 1989.

That "10 in human form, though". You can tell Matthew still thinks in terms of stage rather than camera, as it's actually 01 on screen.
I've never been able to confirm it, but I think the Simon Greenall listed as a writer for Matthew's opening gags is Michael the Geordie/the meerkats (delete as apt)

The point is it'd would probably be blocked due to the presence of 'Reggie' as the host, never mind anything else.

There's a gag I wrote for @rwf-backoffice.bsky.social a while back where she was billed as "The face that launched a thousand air crew anecdotes". Largely because of that thread.

Press release of American Gladiators now saying availability is Worldwide (Excludes UK)

From the aforesaid group, maybe the BBC are claiming dibs and keeping it for BBC Three or something.

Granted, doing it the day she died was probably the problem there.

I got enough anger from people in the old place for suggesting it after she died, so...

Cilla Black's entire music career came about from her blackmailing Brian Epstein and demanding support in exchange for not outing him.

Did you hate that duck? Or are you 'Orville Friendly'?

This month Keith Harris and pals are joined by their natural onscreen foil Grotbags. There's also one of the longest tenured Brookside stars, and perhaps the panto industry's most fascinating and beloved producer.

Nice to see Orville's Bonnie Tyler phase chronicled.

Still quite annoyed that I haven't been able to get the sound going when I took a look tonight.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

I mean, he did have that Blues Explosion, so I presume that kept his hand in.

I should point out because we're here that obviously Jon Spencer is a different person, because you know someone will correct it.

Reminds me of Jack Karnem and John Spencer commentating on the Yamaha Organs Trophy snooker, which provided such a thing as the high break prize.

"Of course, a clearance here would give him the share of the highest break of the tournament."
"Fair enough, but what can he do with only half an organ?"

It's the same, eyes falling out of my skull revelation when I saw TOTP on Friday and saw that novelty act Lolly. Playing a character below her age, singing Toni Basil's "Mickey", it suddenly dawned...

I can't imagine it's doing anything special on that front, probably just needs a device configuration.

To be fair, it's not massively different, if at all to the Amiga version, but it exists.

Paging @kimjustice.bsky.social to the Red Phone...

I think I've said this many times before, but I stand by it. Shows like NHP were voracious consumers of ideas, and as you start to struggle to innovate, coinciding with the fallen budget, that's when things noticeably struggle. NHP at the Movies was the nadir, really, but it kept on, somehow.
