Thots TV

BOOM BOOM!!! We're back with another episode voted for by YOU the listener. Basil Brush is a very funny show that is unbearable to watch. It has aged well. It has aged poorly. We love it. We hate it. We are very capable of nuance, as it turns out. Watch out for terrible puns, casual sexism, flagrant disregard for age-appropriate programming, Y2K clothing, and good old 2000s body-shaming. You asked...

We have decided to release a cheeky bonus episode from our Patreon because we were feeling frivolous (and some of you even contributed to it)! We talk Meg’s anger, Elsie's fear of death, Laura's favourite Easter assembly song, and answer a few of your questions. Thank you so much for everyone's contributions for this episode - as always, it allowed us to go on many pointless tangents. Hosted on Ac...

Na Na Nee Na Naaaa!!! It's everyone's favourite toxic parenting team and their devil spawn. This week we're talking about Horrid Henry! It's a surprisingly big topic... we cover the touchy subjects of book adaptation, bad parenting, bad teachers, and even shipping. Yes, we said shipping. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hi, I'm Laura! Hi, I'm Meg! Hi, I'm Elsie! And together, we're talking about HI 5 BABYYYYYY!!! Not to be weird about it but we enjoyed this one so much that we carried on watching it even after we finished making the episode. It took physical restraint to keep your humble editor from adding more clips - so we definitely recommend seeking the show out for yourself! This is a long(er) episode due to...

On a dark dark hill there was a dark dark town and in the dark dark town there was a etc etc... It's a xylophone-heavy episode this week as we're talking all things Funnybones! It's about time we discussed Allan and Janet Ahlberg's gorgeous works of children's fiction, and so we experienced some big nostalgic feelings this week. Other topics include the terrible plumbing in our flat, fleshy append...

Hola! Soy the Thots from Thots TV! We're back for season 4 and we're kicking off with an episode voted for by YOU. Of all the shows within the monkey-sidekick genre, this is our least favourite of all time, but we don't care because we love and respect your choices. Tangents include: educational CD-ROMs of the early 2000s, the world's biggest media franchises, and the dangers of LEAD. We're deligh...

While we're on our break (thank you for your patience!) here's a little bit of bonus content from our Patreon. In this one, we're (Meg and Elsie) talking about the behind the scenes of Thots TV. Expect some personal stories about lockdown blues, some indulgent complaining about having to work to pay bills, and some advice on making a podcast! Although, in this clip we mainly talk about something w...

"My tax deductions are CRYING!" We're rounding off season three with an episode voted for by YOU the listeners! You wanted Rugrats, and we delivered. We have found that it's a lot more difficult to create fun """content""" about a show that's genuinely perfect, but we've certainly given it a go. As the last episode before our Summer break, it has been a delight to watch and discuss - thank you for...

HelloOOO! You've waited a long time for us to cover the topic of the nation's comedy sweethearts, double act royalty, kings of the catchphrase etc. and FINALLY the day has come for us to talk about the Chuckle Brothers! Not only are we discussing the LONG-running CBBC sitcom, but also the various 1980s curiosities the Brothers provided us with over their wild and varied career. No one has watched...

A little while ago, Metro produced an article with the headline ‘I created Tots TV, Teletubbies and Rosie and Jim – I fear they’re being twisted’. This is our response to a very insightful interview with Anne Wood by Josie Copson. We also mused on the subject of nostalgia and differences between various eras of children's TV. Though this is a bonus episode, we wanted to share our initial thoughts...

"Look - I've found something!" They walk like the Slitheen, look like psychedelic hippos, and live on a planet from 60s Star Trek; they're the FIMBLES! In this episode, we discuss the Fimbles, its more successful spin-off series, and even a short-lived radio show featuring the series' most annying character. Digressions include reasons Meg got in trouble at school; bones we've broken; Laura's medi...

The Fat Controller laughed, "You are wrong." Choo choo motherfuckers, it's Thomas and Friends. Some of you absolutely adore this show and probably already know everything we're about to tell you. Some of you are rightly terrified of these death-masks on wheels and the existential questions they present. Us? Both. Join us as we dive deep into the authoritarian nightmare that is the Island of Sodor....

WE MADE IT! Nineteen and a half hours each of viewing; one BBC iplayer breakdown; two late-night Redbulls; and lots of eyeliner later, and we have FINALLY come to the end of the Young Dracula Saga. Join us once more to bask in the glory of the Count's hair, Ingrid's face, and Vlad's inability to fulfill his role as child dictator of the vampire world. And obviously - spoilers! -- Get our exclusive...

"I am COUNT Dracula, not SPELL Dracula!" We've binged it so you don't have to - but you SHOULD. As you can see, we have a LOT to say about this show. So much that we had to split the "Welsh Years" into part A and part B. Consume all this content as you will. It's even on YouTube if you fancy taking a gander at our vampire costumes...

BOGIES!!! After two and a half fairly serious episodes, it's time for a reset. Dick and Dom in da Bungalow is one of our most requested episodes ever, and here it is. After one of the most fun """research periods""" ever undertaken in the history of the pod, we're ready to talk everything from the cultural fallout over the decline of the Saturday Morning Live Show to the meaning of the words "dirt...

We're revisiting our favourite idiots - the SIX idiots! In this exclusive peek behind our subscriber paywall, we chat food, men, Ghosts, and sing a little bit. And that's about it.

"We are very fond of you! We love you very much!" How do we even begin to introduce this one? It's Bagpuss, it's perfect, some of us cried. In this episode, we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bagpuss with a hysterical outpouring of love and the occasional insightful thought. Meg also soft-launches her boyfriend who just so happened to interview EMILY FIRMIN HERSELF. Huge thank you to Emily...

Two down, three to go! After the emotional turmoil of series one, we thought it was only right to put ourselves through it all over again. All in the name of responsible programming!  We have sadly lost Maxy, Peter, Zac, Ryan, and Mike. BUT fan-favourites (Lol and Bouncer); our favourite (Nathan); and someone's favourite (Amber) have arrived.  We love this series more and more with every sing...

We're one year old. Let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of our (well, our editor's) favourite moments over the past two series.  OR SO WE THOUGHT!  We ALSO have a special bonus clip that didn't make the cut. Because it's about piss, shit, and vomit.  Thank you for sticking with us, and here's to another year! Support the show Hosted on Acast. See acast...

The Thots are back baybeeeee!  This week we're tackling the cultural JUGGERNAUT that is Peppa Pig.  We're covering everything from gender politics and communism to accents and health and safety concerns.  We're also welcoming back much-missed the Common Sense Media section!  Love her or hate her, this little piggy controls the entire market and there's nothing anyone can do abo...

Merry Christmas dear dear listeners! We were supposed to be taking a break for the holidays but we just couldn't stay away!  As a Christmas treat to ourselves, we've broken the theme of the podcast for just one week to bring you our favourite family film - Nanny McPhee. A staple holiday-season-tv-schedule-filler; a vehicle for Emma Thompson's brilliance; the best child actors this c...

Check-in time with the Thots! We're taking a (tiny) break over the Christmas period, but we have a VERY special surprise lined up for you in the meantime. Stay tuned for a holiday special dropping in late December, and keep on chatting to us on the socials - we love hearing from you! We're genuinely touched by all of the support you've given us over our first year, and we wouldn&apo...
