When Wagon Wheels Were Bigger

A load of fruit and vegetables are alive and have named themselves the Munch Bunch, which is like a load of prisoners on death row calling themselves the Hang Gang.

What's the best way to cap off one of the most depressing anxiety-inducing years ever? Watching a load of downtrodden animated first-graders suffering with emotional issues of course!

Copy this thing you saw a professional do once. Copy it with your Mum or Dad. Oh no, you've done it wrong. Now you look stupid don't you. Now say "CUDDLY TOY!" Everyone join in, say cuddly toy.

When Happy Days ended, what happened to the Fonz? Did he; Die in a tragic repeat of his shark-jumping demonstration? Continue to live above a garage to be sexually available for his best friend's mother? Time travel with a dog, a magic future woman and two losers?

Before Jurassic Park, the best animated dinosaurs ever committed to film were in Moschops. I haven't really kept track since then, but Moschops is probably still up there, right?

Despite sounding like a badly constructed innuendo pseudonym, Ivor Wood was also a real person, who used second-hand Postman Pat puppets to tell stories about an old lady in the mostly forgotten animated series, Gran.

Do you know any songs about Arctic Hares? Derek Griffiths does. I guess that's why Derek got the Heads & Tails job and you didn't.

Scooby-Doo taught us that evil old white men would dress up as ghosts to embezzle money and scare children. Real life taught us they become politicians instead. Happy Halloween.

Toys got cartoons all the time in the 80s, so why not a Rubik's cube? "Because it's just an inanimate puzzle," you probably just said. Well you're wrong, because it's got a face and feet and magic powers you Rubik's Rube!

Elephants wear clothes and glasses and talk and everyone's just cool with that for some reason apparently. Still, they have a functioning monarchy so best not to ask too many questions, or Babar will probably have you beheaded.

It's October so let's watch something scary. Are we watching the news? Ha ha, it's funny because the world is a nightmare. Let's watch Dramarama instead, a classic episode about a haunted mirror or something.

In space, no-one can hear you scream... so why did Space Ghost spend most of his time screaming his own name into the void? The cartoon was rubbish, so we look back fondly on the Adult Swim talk show Space Ghost: Coast to Coast instead.

Who suggested we do Cluedo? It was Mark, in a text message, with the youtube link. The most boring board game in the world gets an upgrade into the most boring gameshow in the world.

Two fat old men get out of breath, then they watch Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks have a bit of a wrestle. It's funny because I was talking about us. Not the wrestlers like you thought.

But don't worry about that, we have some ideas for better TV shows, and you're going to hear all about them in this episode.

"Yeeeaaahhhh, RatFans!" Roland Rat rose to fame on TV-AM, and since then it's become something of a tradition for breakfast TV in the UK to be hosted by vermin.

We hope there will "bee" a lot of "buzz" about this episode, as we watch the show with a "sting in its tail." So "beehive" yourself and, uh, "pollen" up a chair to join us.

Before now, the worst gameshow prize we've come across was some cooked fish. Enter Busman's Holiday. Who wants to go on a holiday where you just do your normal job but in a different place?

We finish our High-ology with Degrassi High, a boring Canadian school drama about a boring Canadian school. Boring.
