Pitkins!

I had an instinctive lunge for the remote control, and I've got them on DVD already. Fantastic theme tune. Great spot!

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

I’m currently indulging myself.

gremlyn27.bsky.social•68 days ago

Today's the day of indulgence, so enjoy!

They used to close down the children's channels on Sky and play 70s and 80s from around 10pm for the drunk and stoned. All the Cosgrove Hall stuff was on. Feeling nostalgic now!

Best theme song EVER

bigdaftdad.bsky.social•68 days ago

I'll warn you, Chorlton and the wheelies hasn't aged terribly well.

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

In what way?

bigdaftdad.bsky.social•68 days ago

Some of Fenellas minions are definitely 'of their time'

(From a cultural sensitivity perspective, I don't think they were predatory sex offenders like everyone else on the TV at the time, but you can never be too sure)

Joy Division / New Order guitarist / singer Bernard Sumner worked on the animation for Chorlton....

‘Ello little old lady’

Wordsworth!

abbo17.bsky.social•68 days ago

Wordsworth!!!
(Travelling faaaaaar behind!!
- if that’s the next line in the theme song)

Let me know when Press Gang is on so I can relive my adolescent love for Julia Sawalha

I KNOW!

I'm watching Kenny Everett as I'm old.

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

I was watching him yesterday.

lordoma.bsky.social•68 days ago

A fine choice, ma'am.
I can't believe his program went out at 7pm but I'm very glad it did.

abbo17.bsky.social•68 days ago

Is this The Cancellation of Kenny Everett? Just tried to wrestle the remote from missus. Epic fail 🤬

djgarybaldy.bsky.social•68 days ago

He was never cancelled

He was maybe taken off air but never cancelled

abbo17.bsky.social•68 days ago

Apparently that’s what the show or documentary is called. Must be an ironic title 🤷🏽‍♂️

tonyimoore.bsky.social•67 days ago

I had the radio on and the BeeGees were singing Massachusetts and my brain instantly went to Kenny Everett and his Massive Chew Sets skit about them even though that was early 80s

vinylcarbooty.bsky.social•67 days ago

Jamie, Chorlton, Trumpton, Chigley and lots more are on Prime.

millareed.bsky.social•68 days ago

Aw, my kids loved that!

handronicus.bsky.social•68 days ago

What about Mr Trimble?

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

No thank you.

handronicus.bsky.social•68 days ago

He wasn’t to everybody’s liking!

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

He’s up there with Noseybonk.

handronicus.bsky.social•68 days ago

Now he was properly scary.

Chorlton and the Wheelies is on Prime. Watched the first episode the other day, properly weird! Loved it back in the day, but seems insane now.

magus-smillsoid.bsky.social•68 days ago

YEAH!!!

🤘🤘🤘

wotclaire.bsky.social•68 days ago

I had a lovely cat called Jamie and used to sing the theme to him. He didn’t mind one bit.

dairycontrary.bsky.social•68 days ago

Eeyup little ol' laydee!!!

davycraig.bsky.social•68 days ago

I've got the Chorlton & the Wheelies boxset. Bought it for my kids...honest! Little ol' layday!

dykester74.bsky.social•68 days ago

“Ee up it’s that little lady”. Chorlton was a legend

dantebanks.bsky.social•68 days ago

Please, don't tease about Chorlton. ❤️

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

I bloody love Chorlton and The Wheelies.

dantebanks.bsky.social•68 days ago

Me too. ❤️

djgarybaldy.bsky.social•68 days ago

Oh how fab I'm on ITVX at the moment

djgarybaldy.bsky.social•68 days ago

Awww but its premium 🙁

Jungle Ted And The Laceybuttonpoppers

richneville.bsky.social•68 days ago

Jamie had a righteous theme tune.

hmwhatnow.bsky.social•68 days ago

The original? Or some ropey gen z animation?

hunstantonsmith.bsky.social•68 days ago

I am often a Jamie, especially when I was little - that bloody song 🫠

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

Hello, my lovely! How are you? I adore Brian Trueman, his voice is my childhood.

hunstantonsmith.bsky.social•68 days ago

I am good, more importantly, how are YOU? Not all that long ago I stood behind Brian Cant in the Coop, I didn’t know it was him, heard his voice and my legs went.

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

Oh wow! What a man! I’m OK, crippling anxiety and a massive believe that I’m not good enough aside. Start my new job tomorrow and I’m feeling very wobbly about it all x

dantebanks.bsky.social•68 days ago

I'm sneaking in, because I follow both of you. But, imagine, all your 'chums' from BlueSky are there with you.

We got you. ❤️

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

Thank you, my lovely ☺️

hunstantonsmith.bsky.social•68 days ago

Well. You’re clever, funny, creative. They should be shitting a brick that they don’t meet your expectations - you will be AMAZING, as you always are!

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

But thank you for being so kind and supportive, as always. I’m very lucky to have you in my daft little corner of life x

flups.bsky.social•68 days ago

I’ve cried at least 582 times since leaving my old job on Thursday. I shall be doing my dream job but it’s still taking me very far out of my comfort zone. I’m being a whiny pain in the arse and feel everyone is fed up of me, understandably so. And I’ve put on 2st since Christmas so hate myself.

dantebanks.bsky.social•68 days ago

Truth. ❤️
