When Wagon Wheels Were Bigger

This episode, we learn about the horrors of unnatural reproduction and the joys of songs about reproduction, as we watch Dr Moreau castoffs the Wuzzles and discuss which is the superior Grease movie. It's Grease 2. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

"AAAHHHH! AFTER TEN THOUSAND YEARS I'M FREE! TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!" That's right, we threatened we'd do it, so now sit back and watch everyone's favourite mish-mash of Japanese Super Sentai shows and American teenagers with "attitude." An attitude that's generally pleasant and well-meaning. Edgy. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwhe...

Bruce Forsyth narrates the confusing story of the Fiddley Foodle Bim Bam Boodle Diddley Doodle Oodle Bird. Or "Dennis Waterman" for short. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

TV Legend Richard Whiteley presents Channel 4's first ever TV show, as your W4B hosts reminisce about one of their favourite people whilst trying to make sense of letters and numbers like a couple of squares. I bet they wear their backpacks on both shoulders as well. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme compose...

Is there a better way to welcome a new year than by watching a drunken butler trip over a tiger rug? If there is I don't want to hear about it. Because I watched this instead and I'm already depressed enough.

It's the W4B Christmas episode, so we're watching the Christmassyest thing from the 80s we could find on a quick Google search. Merry Christmas from Eternia, as we join musclebound sword-wielding twins Adam and Adora as they fight Skeletor and Hordak, except in the snow. And for a longer amount of time than usual.

Wowser is an anime about a clumsy Belgian dog that you've probably never heard of. We have though, so why should we suffer alone? This episode also includes some bonus nostalgia for foreign language songs we barely remember, so don't say we don't give you anything.

Pole Position is about stunt-driving crime-fighters, and may or may not have been based on a video game, I'm not sure, you have access to Wikipedia, why don't you find out yourself?

This week we're packing our trunks and saying goodbye to the circus, as we watch Nellie The Elephant and curse the continuous failure of our Skype connection. You should be used to this by now.

Hallmark mascot Rainbow Brite is another character given a cartoon that was primarily aimed at girls in the 80s. The plot inevitably revolves around bringing colour and light to a dark world, or fighting a monochrome villain who hates happiness or whatever. We couldn't tell you, we were barely paying attention. If the reboot gains a lot of adult male fans, I think they should be called "Rain-Bros....

Roll up and role up; Mark and Martyn continue their search for the Warlock's treasure, as they prove it's possible to literally get lost in a book. May their stamina never fail!

Postman Pat was good wasn't it? Bertha was excellent, I think we can all agree. This week we watched Charlie Chalk. Oh well. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

Your W4B hosts Mark and Martyn choose their own adventure in the first episode of this new series, fighting goblins, orcs and their urge to set fire to straw mattresses, as they begin a playthrough of the first Fighting Fantasy adventure book, the Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

Allsorts is an awful cut-price Rainbow wannabe, except instead of puppets there are simple men, and instead of a bear there's a human-dog hybrid straight out of your nightmares.

Snooker-based gameshow fun as we delve into the highlight of Jim Davidson's career, watching snooker players "pot as many balls as they can" at the behest of hairy trick shot wizard John Virgo. It's like Bullseye, but balls. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

Word! Educational Halloween fun with a spooky word-obsessed ghost or alien or something, and possibly the most nineties teens to appear on the podcast so far. Plus, Samuel L Jackson is in this. Don't say we don't treat you nice, because we do.

We've put it off long enough, but we're finally doing the classic TV show about four meddling teenagers and their dog solving crimes... It's the Famous Five! Not Scooby Doo like you thought I meant. Even though you read the title of the episode first. Silly Wheelers.

More gameshow fun as Lionel Blair guides the elderly down memory lane listening to the first few notes of ancient music hall numbers and wartime classics. This show was doing nostalgia before it was cool.

"Take a word... Change a letter... Do it again... And you've got a chain! That's how you play-ay-ay Chain Letters! Chain Letters!" We're still on a gameshow kick, and we used to love Chain letters with Andrew O'Connor. Except this episode has the original host Jeremy Beadle. Ugh. Change the "G" to an "L" to make "LAMESHOW," L-A-M-E-S-H-O-W. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadt...

"ONE-HUUUUNDRED ANNNND EEEIIGHTYYYYYYYY!" Yes we've already done a Bullseye episode, but what else could we do with our 180th episode? Literally anything else is a valid answer, but we're doing Bullseye anyway because it's ace so f*ck you.

"Do you wanna bet on it? You Bet! Well you'd better get on it! You Bet! So don't fret, get set, are you ready? You Bet!" B-List celebrities sponsor members of the public and place bets on whether they can do outlandish things, like remembering different types of windmills, or fishing in really specific spots on lakes. But if they weren't betting on these things, they'd probably be gambling on the...

This is what we thought the Groovy Goolies was. Thankfully Drak Pack is much better than the Groovy Goolies. Although to be fair, so is a sharp stick in the eye.

Where is Spot? Is he under that cardboard flap? Yes he is. Of course he is. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

"I'm the joker in the pack, which makes me such a lucky jack, and here they are, they're so appealing, okay dollies, do your dealing." Only cards though, not drugs. It's Bruce's Play Your Cards Right, another Bruce Forsyth gameshow that required his name at the beginning and women wearing very few clothes. For a reason. Not that Mark and Martyn are paying attention to that, as they're busy practic...

Paul Daniels hosts the time-earning gameshow that plasters false smiles over failing relationships and makes light-entertainment out of domestic abuse. If you like our gameshow episodes, you'll like this... NOT A LOT! That's a thing Paul Daniels used to say.
