    American child of the 80’s here….while I understand this is aimed at emulating the feel of 70’s mid day British tv, it’s amazing how similar this feels to many of the independently produced mid-day PBS programs I’d see if I stayed home from school….they needed to fill time so usually played old cheap educational shows from the 70’s that are all but forgotten except a distant primordial memory of brown and orange sets and clothes.

    As someone born in the mid 1960s, I totally get the references and the feel of the programme. And yet there is something truly terrifying about it.

    I dont now why but i love that character with leather brown jacket and pink turtle neck. That face, eyes and facial expressions, love it. 😂😂

    I have no idea why , I cant stop watching this every night. Im facinated by it. And everyone i show … gets hooked as well!!!!

    Quentin’s’ 70’s theme / slightly Victorian mix aesthetic is a thing of disturbed wonder. Have a happy new year you mad men.

    @redadamearth Před 16 dny +2

    I had no idea there were people still doing imaginative, surrealist, experimental comedy (for lack of a better word) like this. This gives me hope for humankind. lol And the look of these pieces is so on-point to the early 70's programs they're drawing from, it's just amazing. It takes the nightmarish, video-age world of Tim & Eric about 100 steps further into sheer, non-verbal bliss.

    I haven’t had so much fun at Christmas since Uncle Bernard gave mother a lazy Susan and kept spinning his nuts around the table.

    See kids….you learned so much in the 70s by bunking off School and watching Afternoon TV. 😂😂😂

  • @bariantmanci2125
    @bariantmanci2125 Před 5 měsíci +4

    A brilliant, funny masterpiece of nostalgia, creepy strangely familiar vid reminiscent of 70s/80s tv.
    - loved the old jedi too😂

  • @Greendot319
    @Greendot319 Před 6 měsíci +6

    Been watching this at Christmas for coming on 50 years now, part of family tradition in the Skrimpings household. Playing 'What rhymes with Lantern?' around the Christmas coal is one of my earliest and fondest Christmas memories, they don't make shows like this anymore.

  • @helen4455
    @helen4455 Před 6 měsíci +4

    Creepy and weirdly comforting. I can smell it.😅

  • @toomanycables996

    Thank you Quentin, I thought getting my Sinclair Spectrum was my best present but no, it’s this.

  • @simonwhalley1743

    “What rhymes with lantern?”
    “Diabetes.”
    I very nearly soiled myself just then. Thank you, Quentin.

    That woolly mammoth cleaner in a tabard sounds _suspiciously_ like Uncle Barrington.

  • @neilgillies.
    @neilgillies. Před 2 měsíci +3

    Its funny to think there were only ever 23487 episodes of this ever made - seems like so many more for some reason! Probably becasuse the series has been repeated so many times over the years.

  • @stephielulu9096

    A nice shot of Quentin's Xmas baubles 😆

    This is fantastic. It’s mesmerising. Children of the 70’s take strange comfort in this.

    Merry Christmas Mr Smirhes and all at QTV , Thank you for this wonderful christmas gift. Brilliant! , nice to see you are all ok. Wishing you all the very best.

  • @TommyNever
    @TommyNever Před 6 měsíci +3

    A few smiles, even broad grins, in this one, but the overall effect is somewhat melancholy, reminding us all of the fleeting and frail nature of all life's precious moments. In fact I fear that watching this Christmas special has turned me into a chronic depressive and lachrymose alcoholic, but that may just be a passing fancy.

    If this is all I watch during the festive period, it's enough.

  • @Squattingtiger9
    @Squattingtiger9 Před 6 měsíci +7

    This is pure nostalgia for me. I love this late 70's, early 80's....mid 80's School TV vibe that you've managed to re-create....with "extras", disturbing...just like my childhood!

    ‘What rhymes with Lantern?’’
    ‘Diabetes?’

  • @iangalley3464
    @iangalley3464 Před 6 měsíci +7

    Absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed that. Video was suggested to me by YT and I had no clue of it's contents, so I was coming into this totally blind. Felt like being a child of the 70's again, but being trapped in a shoe-box, buried under a pile of old mattresses (so missing the following decades), then being found, released and made the controller of the CBBC channel.
    Well done and thank you to all involved, this really is utterly fantastic.

    Thank you Quentin, Comfrey and Jago. Reminds me of the lovely Christmas times in the 70's watching TV at my Nan's with Inigo Pipkin, Mr Trimble, Jack Hargreaves and all the harlots on Houseparty. A very happy new year to you all.

  • @LordNimonYT
    @LordNimonYT Před 6 měsíci +3

    Lord this brings back some memories! How this wasn’t wiped is a miracle.
    Shame about what eventually happened to Mantern. I do appreciate it was a different time, and it was almost expected if you were on TV that you had more exotic lifestyles than us at home. Still, shouldn’t do that kind of thing with a Womble.

    The 1970s Captain Kangaroo template combined with acid and the elimination of logic and purpose. I can’t stop watching.

  • @Yossarian-uj9dh
    @Yossarian-uj9dh Před 6 měsíci +3

    The first five years of my life, all condensed into one disturbing 24 minute segment. And at Christmas too! Thank you Quentin and all at QTV.

    Uncompromisingly disturbing and soothing at the same time. Yes, Quentin, yes!

  • @azulero73
    @azulero73 Před 6 měsíci +9

    My gran used to make us kids watch this every Christmas. Even though we cried because it was in the room with toys and dolls we “mustn’t stare at for too long”. We could hear the grownups drinking port and laughing in the good room.

      The glue! The bit where grown adults are crash tackling kids! The music box puppet!! This is disturbing af, but weirdly watchable!

  • @skawashers
    @skawashers Před 6 měsíci +3

    A big case of the mandela effect as i`m pretty sure i have seen this episode when it was first broadcast in 74. I kind of remember it was just after Sam and His Magic Ball. But we wont go into that, 1970s TV celebrities have a lot to answer for

    Today I went against convention, no roast Turkey - back to basics, just boiled spuds, pigs' liver and onions, carrot and brassicas rounded off with gravy and mustard. I'm confident my next bowel movement will be voluminous and satisfying, indeed seasonal, that's Christmas for you.

    a pertinent displacement of mundane heterodox mores,replete with an undergarment pride hitherto only known by the members of the amateur orthodondist society.As we are currently viewing this from the interiors of borneo,as part of the earnest simian expedition,we thank you for a reminder of why we civilize.
