The ability to pair proper laughs with a bleak sombre ending is perfect here.
(Also: those uninterested parents feel like they anticipate the same types seen in 'Jam')

BBC Search result. Balamory (2002-05)
Enjoying that BBC iPlayer has separated Balamory into two different eras like they did with Doctor Who.
Callan - I Never Wanted The Job - written by John Kershaw (19th April 1972). Abbott (William Marlowe) believes he's the equal of David Callan. Bad mistake ....
40 YEARS AGO TODAY: the world championship coincides with the release on BBC Records And Tapes of the year's second and, we'd argue, superior snooker-related pop song, Boss O' The Black by Jed Ford.
Animaniacs Prince joke
Since its Prince night on BBC4, here’s one of my favourite Animaniacs jokes #notTOTP
The unfortunately named Isis in Nottingham had the most distinctive decor of all the venues so far, making it very obvious three of the performances on the following show were pre-records #totp
This #totp 1999 tour is a fascinating dive into turn of the century nightclubs that mostly don’t exist anymore. Post Hitman and Her shirt-and-tie era but pre the sector going virtually bust unless you’re called Popworld. This is what ISIS Nottingham ended up like
But why would you wish it was Sunday? Cos it's still just going to be Monday again tomorrow. Why not Tuesday? or Thursday? Or Friday? Whoa there, Prince, what are you on about? #TOTP #notTOTP
I remember working at BBC Tees and the playlist machine popped out ‘Manic Monday’ at 4:40 on a Friday afternoon.
Well, nobody can say that wasn’t four episodes of Top of the Pops on BBC Four #TOTP
I do like the this single even though it isn't in my list of best Prince songs #TOTP
What to do when you generally think Prince is one of the great artists of your lifetime and yet his only number one hit in this country is a big slab of meh. #totp
Haddaway and shite, Newcastle’s greatest recording star #totp
I dunno either
Tired is my excuse!
#TOTP
"Tony de Burgh" #totp
Who's been rummaging in Meat Loaf's wardrobe then #totp
Crystal Waters has come as the 28th Doctor #TOTP
When you've got #TOTP at 7 but you're commanding the Prussian cavalry at the Battle of Hohenfriedberg at 9.
I saw the Crash Test Dummies in Bristol around this time and the singer informed us that the first draft of the chorus was 'fucking shitty, fucking shitty' #totp
Mattessons Mattessons Mattessons Mattessons #totp
Crash Test Dummies also did a version of The Ballad Of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC
#TOTP
I unironically love Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm #TOTP
Feels very strange in a way to think that Armando Iannucci played this Crystal Waters record on his Radio 1 show. #totp
