I've just got to gush for a moment on this particular three year old video and say, don't you just love it when you find an amazing new CZcams channel with tons of great content you can binge watch until you hear the narrators voice in your head when you're trying to sleep? And it's even better to see someone who's clearly been churning out amazing content for years and years finally get picked up by the algorithm and start to blow up. I hope you get to see this Stu, can I call you Stu? That's a bit much. Mr. Millard, goddamnit. I didn't want to fall in love with you. But I did.
Regarding Rod Hull minus Emu - I understand the organisers had assumed he would bring Emu when booking him and were annoyed that he didn't but Rod Hull was tired of being considered a gimmick act with his arm up a stuffed animal. Hull tried to develop a career doing things other than Emu but it never worked out. After he went bankrupt he went back to the Emu act. Then fell off a roof.
The presence of Roger Stevenson and his unnerving creations just brings to mind that whole grim hinterland of awful low quality seaside special puppet shows that used to appear in the Children's BBC schedules when there weren't enough cartoons to fill an afternoon's broadcasting, where you'd have Dooby Duck and his cohorts jiggling about vaguely in time with pop hits from five years before. And apparently it was off the back of a CBBC executive seeing the puppets perform on the '87 Variety Show that they got offered a series. Christ.
They do add the potential of a fright when rewatching anything from that era, knowing you can never relax, lest the dead, boggle eyes of Pepe suddenly appear from out of the wings like Jason Voorhees.
This has brought back memories I thought I'd repressed. I remember, even as a youngster, that this was not funny. I just thought it was weird. My mother loved it.
Remember when Princess 'Maggy' burnt her feet off in a scalding bath ....because it took the pain signals 30seconds to get to her Brain thru the Brandy/Valium fog ?.... I do ...
Oh wow, I'm only 2 mins in and laughing out loud! Years ago I saw a programme where Laura Keitlinger said her ideal comedy show was just people banging their heads on stuff, she had a point.
I'm not sure why, but this just dislodged a forgotten memory of seeing a "family" Chuckle Brothers show at somewhere like Skegness as a nipper, and part of the act had one of them poke a carrot through a hole at crotch level, and the other sawing it off. I remember my Mum's look of horror.
10:14 bloody hell. TV ads for Winfields. I haven't been passed it in a while but I think it's still going. I assume a lot of trade has been stolen by the McDonald's at Rising Bridge.
Wow these shows really are as bad as i remember. They were full of people who you had never heard of and others that you thought were long dead. A bit like I'm a celebrity get out of here but its in a theatre setting.
@1:13 I remember that at the time; wearing the sort of low budget birthday party entertainer outfits you’d expect of the time…and the slowest version of the show’s theme you can think of And how hard would it to have been to hire actual martial artists for a proper routine not some dancers doing lame step kicks 😂
gone abit too wokey in this one Millard, i know you hate "the English" and English values but c'mon!.. to portray people who wish to protect its heritage as racist thugs is narrow minded.
Look mate I don't care who you voted for and you shouldn't care who I voted it for, stop putting your stupid left wing politics into the videos........... it's boring.....🙁
Did you know, in France, Les Dennis is known as ‘Les Dennis’
Fuck you. This made me laugh my tits off.

Imagine all the celebs behind the scenes taking turns to kick the shite out of Rods Emu.
11:35 Brian Rodgers dancers? I bet he does.
The old ones are the best!
I met Princess Anne at a charity do once. One was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Seeing Rod Hull without Emu is like seeing wrestlers without kneepads.
'What was he doing on the bloody roof?...."
A-Haaaaaah
Is that….Peter Sutcliffe? Nope. He wasn’t available at the time so we got Beadle
13:15 something about Armando Iannucci finding the exact right amount of golliwogs
God that Dustin Gee Cleese "impression" really is astonishing. I would've never have guessed in a million years who he was supposed to be.

You saying emu pushed him?.
A beautiful description of his life, thank you so much.
Was he up checking Emus nest
Im sick i know but i have this image of him lying there and emu nudging him to get up
She must have loved travelling all that way across London then at 2:05 being presented with the brouchure for a Vauxhall Cavelier.
The biggest mystery for me in the world is, how in earth did Cheggers pull Maggie Philbin? I lay awake all night in a cold sweat thinking about this.

Yes, as a lifelong amateur magician, I've _never_ understood what anyone has ever seen in the linking rings. It's the worst dad joke of magic tricks.
Dustin Gee was going to open my School Fair but he died.
Don't know why but that proper, proper tickled me.
@@glenndouglas8822knob
Brilliant! Cried with laughter at the "Put your hand in!" bit.
'Kid's gonna lose an arm...'
Notice how Beadle didn't put his hand out, nor did she try to shake it. You wouldn't of had that with Diana.
Emu IS always the highlight of ANY show.
That kid in the grey at 17:55 & 19:12 facial expressions are spot on hilarious like he knew everything going on behind the scenes
The wobbly tape Micky Mouse bit reminds me of something out of Mr Biffo's lost footage 🤣
"Hope that's not the juggler" actually a pretty fast and funny line!
This has brought back memories I thought I'd repressed.
I remember, even as a youngster, that this was not funny. I just thought it was weird. My mother loved it.
Rod Hull and Emu rolling on the floor with half the Game's for a Laugh team while ET, Russ Abbot and Nookie Bear watch on from inside a box.
to be fair if Emu had been near the princess he would definitely have gone for her. would probably have just flew at her throat.
You sir, are hilarious. Your comedic delivery of your narration is top notch. Love it. Lol
I've watched this a couple of times... And only just noticed Dave Courtney's idea of a "new game" at 5:20.
I forgot about how Martin Daniels was everywhere at one point.
I name this video's Alan Partridge line as 'No manners but what a critic' and claim my prize
“Before fortnight and molly” 😂
Just noticed they avoided the embarrassing occurrence of Princess Margaret having to touch Beadles Gnarled claw/hand
1:54 Poor Margaret whacks her head on the car - been at the sherbets already in anticipation of the horrors to come
Just like her dear old gran
Couple of snifters before ‘the repugnance’ of the worst of light entertainment
Remember when Princess 'Maggy' burnt her feet off in a scalding bath ....because it took the pain signals 30seconds to get to her Brain thru the Brandy/Valium fog ?....
I do ...
Just when I thought no funny line in comes Jim Davidson will be somewhere else brilliant
I never realised how many puppets there were back then, Orville, nookie, emu, spit the dog. 😱
Oh wow, I'm only 2 mins in and laughing out loud! Years ago I saw a programme where Laura Keitlinger said her ideal comedy show was just people banging their heads on stuff, she had a point.
One suspects after seeing this upload Dave Courtney really decided his time was up.🤔😂😂
oh goodness, I forgot about Pepe, Aaargh Pepe flashbacks, Noooooo!
Watching us, watching you, watching us, watching you...........
I'm not sure why, but this just dislodged a forgotten memory of seeing a "family" Chuckle Brothers show at somewhere like Skegness as a nipper, and part of the act had one of them poke a carrot through a hole at crotch level, and the other sawing it off. I remember my Mum's look of horror.
Fixated on the thought of a snowman with a nose made of a severed Chuckle-nob.
Mate your channel is entertaining, especially the 90s stuff.
12:43: The "diversity and inclusion" segment.
'Kid's gonna lose an arm...'
At least Rod Hull could have kept the fake arm for consistency.
keith chegwin could at least be said to have invented synchronised groaning.
That was stew Francis. He held us all frantic . Dolls house.
Heh heh! Paddy Longlegs, 😂
The Cultural Hellscape Variety Hour.
10:14 bloody hell. TV ads for Winfields. I haven't been passed it in a while but I think it's still going.
I assume a lot of trade has been stolen by the McDonald's at Rising Bridge.
Ahh Rusty Lee, did she ever finish her joke?
"...before him and Emu were strapped to matching guillotines..." Millard gold.
@7:02 what acid trip did you do that showed massive heads jigging. Oh well to each their own acid trip LOL
Well that was a great watch
Please never stop making videos. Cover on the buses, oh man that show...
Little girls singing the lyric "nookie bear" seems a particularly bad idea.
The worst thing about the royal variety performance was that it involved the royals and ‘variety’. Euurrggh.
Would love a compilation video "Best of Trackingcore Moments - TOO HOT FOR TV!"
Say what you like, but Russ Abbott's Cooperman was good. And Rod Hull was a genius.
17:40 oh that looks fine to me, Kagagogone by the sound of it
Roger de Courcey is Rick Wakeman's manager.
Please review more of these :)
That's the plan.
Armando pops up in loads of these
Wow these shows really are as bad as i remember. They were full of people who you had never heard of and others that you thought were long dead. A bit like I'm a celebrity get out of here but its in a theatre setting.
Thanks, that was absolute torture. I can't believe this used to happen. Truly we are the worst country on earth.
Truly. Such unforgivable, theatrical and televisual horror should be erased from history. Maybe by putting the VHS tape next to a really big magnet.
Nope...... but our precious 'Television Programming' certainly was
8:51 Tell me you’ve seen more bowl cuts in one place.
Brilliant.
It was 'Stone Cold' ET!
Brilliant😂😂
Did Tommy Boyd mention his Aunty?
I need to hear more tracking-core.
The real Rod Hull put on a fantastic assault from that box! Great work digging through this horror show!
Nicky Campbell used to do a shit-hot Savile voice in and among his chat, but the arse has dropped out of the market for that sort of thing.
Tracking Core 😄
Les Dennis was truly awful whereas Dustin Gee was really talented.
I do love your videos
17:27 these Indiana Jones sequels are getting silly now
Trackingcore lol
Ace stuff!
I went to a function at Dave Courtney's house a few years back... Not once did I get told to stuff a whole sandwich in my mouth!
@1:13 I remember that at the time; wearing the sort of low budget birthday party entertainer outfits you’d expect of the time…and the slowest version of the show’s theme you can think of
And how hard would it to have been to hire actual martial artists for a proper routine not some dancers doing lame step kicks 😂
I love the golliwogs but I love you too.
As an Antifa vandal I enjoyed the reference.
TV was so crap in those days
FFS it was entertainment not a judge and jury
For people who today complain that comedy on TV is all left-wing forget that we had decades of this stuff.
We are the worst country on earth comment don’t think so if people feel that way they should move
I've watched a lot of Stuart's vids and enjoyed every one but I'm sure he has a secret hatred of britain.
gone abit too wokey in this one Millard, i know you hate "the English" and English values but c'mon!.. to portray people who wish to protect its heritage as racist thugs is narrow minded.
Look mate I don't care who you voted for and you shouldn't care who I voted it for, stop putting your stupid left wing politics into the videos........... it's boring.....🙁
