The BBC, flush with success over a number of revived TV shows is at it again.

Sadly, this time around they have chosen porcine puppets Pinky and Perky. Happily for them, I think that most of my friends list post date this televisual horror, but a new generation is now to be subjected to them.

The revival will be animated rather than puppetry. I suppose that's an improvement, but oh dear.


These are set to become...


...these.

Oh lord - another attempt at looking 'cool' and 'with it'.

Still, appropriate title as ITV are set to revive Frankenstein.

Weird. They've updated them and yet still maintained the vaguely sinister look of the original.

What Next ?

Ivor the Engine bought out by Virgin ?!

I suspect it just shows zero-imagination in programme production departments.

Now you are showing your age, I have never heard of Aunty Jean - she must have been bad if shes not even shown up on nostalgia shows (unlike those two pesky porcines)

Thank you, Lord, that I live across the ocean and will not be subjected to Pinky & Perky, Tingha & Tucker or Auntie Bloody Jean. And as for Hector's House...

You are lucky.

As it is, it's all Chalkie's fault for bringing the subject up; it has awoken memories of 1960s children's TV that I though properly repressed...

Arghh... Bright's Boffins...

Yes, but there's so much more on that side of the Pond and it's all new to you...
