Mr. Bean is the worst TV show I've ever watched

Here, the main character does funny hijinks, and I'm not happy that the series only lasted 15 episodes. I thought it lasted much longer. At least its animated counterpart lasted much longer than the live action (original) counterpart.

Does anyone remember Look and Read?

It is a series that had the audacity to bring in numerous series in 1 single show. E.g. in 1989, we got Through the Dragon's Eye, in 1981 Dark Towers, and in 1982/1983 Fair Ground.

Through the Dragon's Eye terrified me as a kid

I was used to watching it, but then, I was scared. I remember when the dragon's eye winked and came to life as a talking dragon, who was huge. Then they took children to Pelamar, and they were forced to save some world by fixing a MacGuffin...

Went for a wander down the high street and it's just not the same anymore, is it? Where's Woolies? Remember when you could get pick'n'mix, a CD, and some lightbulbs all in one shop?

Yorkshire Tea vs PG Tips: The Brew Battle

Let's sort this once and for all – which brew is king? Personally, I'd fight anyone who tries to tell me PG Tips is better than Yorkshire Tea. Yorkshire Tea is the very essence of a hug in a mug. Prove me wrong.

Match-day Pie: A Slice of Heaven or Overhyped Grub?

Every time I'm at the ground, I can't help but grab a pie – it's like a ritual at this point. But are match-day pies actually any good, or are we all just blinded by tradition? My mate reckons he's had better from a petrol station!

The Ultimate Butty: White Bread Only?

Right, let's settle this once and for all – for the ultimate bacon butty, it's gotta be white bread, hasn't it? None of that brown bread malarkey. You need the softness of the white bread to complement the crispness of the bacon. Thoughts?

Just switched to being vegetarian - best meat substitute for a full English?

Afternoon all, recently made the switch to vegetarian. Still can't quite let go of my traditional full English on a Sunday, but obviously need to opt for the meat-free version. Anyone got any recommendations for the best meat substitute for the iconic brekkie sausage? Cheers!
