When Gemini Gives Me A Picture For My Next DVD Choice...

Feel Free To Say Aaawwww...

That's Dougal, one of my support worker's dogs. He's so cute and friendly, along with his little sister Tilly - Dougal loves giving me friendly, appreciative licks, while Tilly is even cuter. I don't know which one is the cutest, so I suppose Tilly Willy's my favourite.

Don't you agree?

"Wuff!"

Dougal agrees.

Peppa Goes Round The World: A Review

 

Peppa Pig: Peppa Goes Around the World by Rebecca Gerlings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This Peppa Pig storybook, unsurprisingly, was remarkably AWESOME!
My true favourite parts of the story were when Peppa and her family went to the jungle, the South Pole, the mountains and the desert! Wow!
Would definitely read again.

Simba's New Friend

RED ALERT! RED ALERT!

SIMBA HAS A NEW FRIEND!

Meet Simba's new friend, Aladar. Simba met Aladar when he was travelling back to Pride Rock, and he, Zini, Suri, Plio and Yaar offered to join him, Nala, Timon and Pumbaa in battling Simba's wicked, demonic uncle Scar and his hyena cronies. Thus, the Pride Lands aren't complete without someone from a time as ancient as the folk tale of The Lion King.

A Review Of Chute: The Sickest, Most Disgusting CBBC Classic In The World!

Eeeew! This is the word I describe when forced to talk about this show in one word. Chute is a horrific, revolting show that was like CBBC's prediction that Off The Air was going to air on Adult Swim a few years later, and yet, when I saw Dick & Dom and The Muppets on there, inside my mind I felt like I was about to faint. I am not watching this show again - if a clip from Thunderbirds or any other Gerry Anderson show is on there, God help us all!

And I rank this show 0 out of 10 VHS tapes.

Howard The Duck #21: A Review

Howard the Duck #21 by Steve Gerber
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Howard The Duck was surprisingly new to me.

As a kid I have enjoyed such kid friendly Marvel heroes such as Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, Hulk and of course, everyone's favourite, Spider Man, but this? This one is different.

Before I met him, I knew little about Howard...but then, I got this vintage comic, and things went over the hill and over the moon - literally.

While I put on a Donald Duck style voice for Howard, I put on beefy, wideboy, geezer and funny voices for the other characters, including the unmistakably creepy Soofi.

A must have for new grown up Marvel fan readers!

A T T Retro Review: Doctor Who: The Horns Of Nimon

At first glance, The Horns Of Nimon might seem like a very boring vintage Doctor Who story to you guys, with just the Fourth Doctor, Ramona and no one else to accompany them. However, once you see K9 with them, you're SO IN! And that's what makes these kinds of Doctor Who Tom Baker DVDs so special to me - not only is Baker great as Doctor Four, and John Leeson as K9 too, but this studio-bound story is much more soothing than the later filmed-on-location stories starring David Tennant. The Blue Peter documentary that accompanies it makes it much more fun, as it brings us back to a time when CBBC wasn't all about algorithm, and they weren't like "WATCH IPLAYER OR WE'LL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!"

And I rank this DVD 10 out of 10 Jelly Babies.

A T T Retro Review: Doctor Who & The Macra Terror

Using lost audio files from the archives, the missing Doctor Who four part adventure The Macra Terror featuring The Second Doctor and his pals Jamie, Ben and Polly, is lovingly crafted and animated by Sun & Moon Productions, aka the studio behind those ripoffs of Hey Duggee and Yakka Dee. However, I have to admit that the mix of modern animation and old studio-recorded dialogue recorded live back in the '60s is a bit eerie and creepy, but enjoyable. If you've had enough of Creature Comforts and want an action adventure animation with voices recorded on set, then this is the cartoon for you!

And I rank this DVD 5 out of 5 Macra pincers.

A T T Retro Review: Thunderbirds ft. Brains

It's nice to see Lady Penelope and Parker play a major role in Brink Of Disaster and The Duchess Assignment, and comparing the Duchess Of Royston's elderly age with Lady Penelope being a pure young woman contrasts human beauty easily. However, in the next two episodes, Alan and Tin Tin play roles, mainly Tin Tin's father, Kyrano, as they deal with aliens and giant crocs.

And I rank this DVD 5 out of 5 Croc Prints.

A T T Retro Review: Thunderbirds ft. Alan

The absence of Lady Penelope and Parker on this DVD really puts me off a bit, but hey, at least we still got Brains, Alan, Tin Tin and especially John, who fills in for Alan on Earth while his brother is aboard Thunderbird 5. At least he still cares about his little baby girl.....me, presumably....

And I rank this DVD 4 out of 5 International Rescue patches.

A T T Retro Review: Thunderbirds With Lady Penelope & Parker

I think this Thunderbirds DVD goes really well with that Nice & Easy CD of Irish pop songs I got from the charity shop - THAT GOT 8,000 VIEWS ON GMAPS! Anyway, one episode from the DVD that stuck out to me was The Cham Cham, because Lady Penelope and Tin Tin acted like best friends on this DVD, as if Double-T were Lady P's daughter and she was her mother.

I rank this DVD 10 out of 10 wine glasses......milady.🤣
