"Bitsa this, Bitsa that, put it all together and what have you got?" A ropey make-along-at-home programme where boxes of old rubbish are turned into soon-to-be new rubbish that looks slightly different.

So there's this cat, see, and his name's James, see, and there are all these other animals, see, and that's all there is to it, see. And it's quite short, see.

Who likes Yellow Submarine? Anyone? Oh. Well this is a bit like that. With an arguably better theme song. That's right. I went there. EMAIL: ifyoulikewagonwheels@outlook.com TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger W4B theme composed by John Croudy.

What do you get when you cross an educational kids' show about music with inappropriate sexist YouTube comments? A musical ex-tra-va-ganza, that's what.

All aspiring cartoonists should watch Rude Dog and the Dweebs, as inspirational evidence that you don't need artistic talent to get a cartoon made. A clothing logo and some of the worst designed cartoon dogs ever had their own TV show. And we watched it.

"Visionaries, Knights of the magical light!" Remember when toys were covered in holograms? That was good wasn't it? I bet all those hologram stickers have faded now and don't look half as cool any more. That's like a metaphor. A clever metaphor. I done a metaphor.

What's the best time to watch the Krankies' Christmas special? a) Christmas Eve b) Christmas Day c) July The correct answer is that you should never watch the Krankies do anything at any time ever.

The sad news of Brian Cant couldn't be ignored, and we'd already done Trumpton, so we watched Bric A Brac and celebrated some of his brilliance. But just because the man was great doesn't mean we'll go easy on the show... or that we'll even necessarily pay attention.

This week Mark and Martyn watched Dooby's Duck Truck. I refuse to write a proper blurb for this. Because it's Dooby's Duck Truck. What have we become...?

Two primates have some fun "monkeying about" and probably learn a lesson or two along the way. Then they watch Bangers and Mash, a cartoon about naughty chimps.

Not a Prison Break spin-off, or a lesson in bad sportsmanship in first person shooters. Not even an account of a dubious sexual practice. Just the simple story of a young girl fighting an evil witch who lives in a magical teapot with (or without) the help of a little boy who is (or isn't) the witch's assistant. Or whatever.

"Rosie and Jim, Rosie and Jim, Chugging along on the old Ragdoll..." Mark and Martyn settle down to watch the Annabelle/The Conjuring prequel Rosie and Jim, about two sort-of-alive dolls who probably have some kind of murderous intent. Because they always do.

"Next time you're at the checkout and you hear the beep, think of the fun you could be having on Supermarket Sweep!" To be clear, this show's definition of fun is basically picking up novelty inflatables and solving riddles whilst doing someone else's shopping. Fun.

What a time of mixed messages the 80s and 90s were. On the one hand we had Charlie the cat warning us about strange men promising puppies, and on the other hand we were presented with programmes like Watt On Earth, where a creepy grown man tries to befriend a young boy and keep their relationship a secret and we as the audience were supposed to think that was ok. Well it's not ok. The line must be...

What is Michael Barrymore famous for? Manhandling old ladies on gameshows, saying "awight" and nothing else. Nothing. Stop trying to think of things. There isn't anything.
