That programme with the puppets...not the muppets tho

Okay so there's this old show I used to watch when I was a wee one. It had these really weird puppets, kinda spooky but it was a kids’ show. I think the main one was a witch or some sort. It's like 'Sooty and Sweep' level of old. This …

Old telly show with the talking car?

Gone blank on the name of that show from I think the 80's or maybe early 90's? Had a car that could speak and they went on mad missions and stuff. Not Transformers, the other one. It's not 'Knight Rider' either, swear it was British...

British children's series?

I used to watch this when I was a kid. It was stop motion, was narrated by some guy. It was about some woodland animals discovering new things, I don't think it was Sylvanian Families or Animals of Farthing Wood. It aired in the 80s, and I think it reran …

Searching for that Battle's name - Historical Enigma

Pondering upon the rich tapestry of British history, I found myself at a loss to recall the name of a particular engagement. It occurred during the War of the Roses, featuring the House of Lancaster pitted against the House of York. A decisive clash that changed the course of sovereignty …

Help me with this trivia! 80s UK pop music.

Alright so I’m at this pub quiz, and there’s this one question got me stumped. It's this 80s pop song by a British band, super catchy, got a synth beat that you can't forget, and the video had this weird futuristic look, like they were on a spaceship or summin. …

Aight, need some real film buffs here. Remember watching this beautiful classic British film, must've been from late 50s or early 60s. It's a love story and ends with couple dancing in a ballroom. The leading lady's wearing a red dress - she's a right knock-out, petite, short hair. The …

An 80's hit with a catchy chorus, can't recall!

I've had this song stuck in my head and it's driving me insane, it's a tune from the 80's for sure, excellent synth work, quite upbeat. The chorus goes something like 'And we'll run for our lives', and then there's an amazing minor-key change. It's not by The Smiths or …

What's the beer from years ago? Green can, gold letters?

1st post ere'. I've been rummaging around my old man's garage and came across a rusty can of beer. Greenish, with gold letters on it. From what I recall, it had a bitter taste, but my old man loved it. Already threw it away, but still got the image in …
