"Oh come with me to the rolling sea where the weather's calm and still..."

Mark and Martyn watch the adventures of three men in a lighthouse, where there's nothing weird going on at all honest, and all the shipping forecast references are lost on the children it was meant for.

This show is called "Tugs." Make up your own jokes. They'll be a lot better than ours.

Imagine a Japanese Terrahawks that was good. A listener request that neither Mark and Martyn recalls watching, Star Fleet is that rarest of things - a kids' show from the 80s that was actually watchable...

Noot Noot! It's Pingu, the plasticine penguin you probably thought was from the nineties. Well it's actually an eighties creation, so it fits our criteria. Only being five minutes long is a bonus...

"Down at the bottom of the gar-den..."

Mark and Martyn watch the Poddington Peas, possibly the only kids' show to include a reference to the birds and the bees in its opening theme. So although that's a bit creep-pea, don't be grump-pea! The show's pretty crap-pea but at least the podcast is snap-pea. Ugh, kill me...

Anthropomorphised shoes live in a magical village in a cobbler's back room. How are there still good new ideas nowadays if they were scraping the barrel this desperately in the 80s? There aren't any good new ideas, that's how!

"Don't you open that trapdoor, 'cos there's something down there..."

Willie Rushton talks us through the animated adventures of your favourite childhood plasticine monsters. Let's all stop and appreciate the fact that this hasn't been remade using CG. Yet.

Welcome to Pontypandy, the Welsh village where half the population also serve in the fire brigade. Still, when there are this many kites getting stuck and an arsonist child living nearby, I suppose that's for the best.

"It's not much of a life when you're just a pretty face..."
It's probably not much of a life when your head's on backwards either. It's the Raggy Dolls, the reject toys who taught kids that being different is ok. Unless you're French.

"Language Timothy!"

Ronnie Corbett's finest hour... was probably The Two Ronnies.

Ronnie Corbett's best sitcom... appearance was probably that episode of Extras he did.

Ronnie Corbett... was also in this.

"You and Me, Me and You, lots and lots for you to do..."
Mostly hanging around a market stall with a couple of raggedy puppets covering pre-school curricular basics. Still, at least sometimes Garry Wilmot was in it. Not this one though. Not this one...

"Llllet's get rrreadyyy to infringe copyright..."

Inspired by their sister podcast If You Like (this week covering WWE coughSHAMELESS PLUGcough), Mark and Martyn take a trip back to 1990 when wrestling was all colourful tights and saggy stomachs. It's the Royal Rumble match, full of all the faces you'd recognise in the eighties, and plenty that you won't as well. Sorry Dino Bravo...

"Up above the streets and houses, Rainbow climbing high.."

...Geoffrey sticks his bum out the window, poos in Bungle's eye. Yes it's Rainbow, the eternal target of all nostalgic kids' TV jokes. How have Mark and Martyn avoided it for so long? Ha ha ha, twangers, etc.
BONUS CONTENT - stick around at the end of the podcast for some uncharacteristic serious political discussion. SPOILERS: we wished the UK had voted "remain."

"We've got spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools, at... Rentaghost!"
Not to mention all your favourite pantomime rejects and future soap stars. Yes we're back on track (sort of), looking at kids' tv again after a few weeks of old sitcoms. And what more natural route back than via the worst of all children's sitcoms, Rentaghost. Don't go into the cellar! Because there's a dragon, or the ghost of a dragon, or the ghost of a man dressed as a dragon, or something...

Listen very carefully, we will watch this only once...

Mark and Martyn get political with a tenuously EU referendum-based pick in the form of amiable Nazi-occupied sitcom Allo Allo. So let's all laugh at foreigners just like in the good old days. Ha ha ha, they're slightly different than me.And so on.

Martyn's on his own this week, so as a filler episode he watches a classic advert from the 80s. Sorry.

A Scottish man talks to a cardboard cone on his hand and everybody's okay with it, in the made-in-simpler-times British classic FingerMouse. Do you really think Mark and Martyn will avoid the obvious jokes? Do you? This must be your first W4B...

Bonus laughs to be had from the following youtube video, as referenced in this episode;
