Keys - Deleted Rap Tidbit

Remember the incident concerning the banned Pokemon episode 'Electric Soldier Porygon'? Well, the first rap in the 4 O'Clock Club episode 'Keys' was originally going to feature the characters rapping against a background that flashed red and blue, but a more serious fate befell its test audience upon its screening. The flashing caused the estimated test audience to be hospitalized after suffering epileptic seizures - two of which remained hospitalized for up to two weeks. The event was so controversial that the 4 O'Clock Club was sent into a week-long production hiatus. The scenes were immediately cut from the rap, and some said it brought back 'horrifying' memories of the banned Pokemon episode 'Electric Soldier Porygon', from which Japanese children suffered the same fate. The deleted scenes have since been stored away, and no further traces of these scenes have been found on BBC iPlayer or online.

Amy's House (And Kover, The Fluff Monster!)

Today I went to Amy's house to relax and enjoy some hot chocolate. Amy is my new social worker and has a fluffy cat called Kover who is so playful she could literally get her claws stuck and likes to nab toes when necessary. She even tried to eat Amy's cat calendar after I reminded her of the programmes I wanted her to watch, like Scream Street and the 4 O'Clock Club, which she called the 4 O'Clock Show! Amy even showed me a Blue Peter badge she got when she was very young, and was twenty years old - she sent it to Blue Peter to talk about how her birthday is the same day as Blue Peter's premiere! Amy's house was very cosy, which is why I got very lazy, all the while enjoying Kover's antics like leaping up at me when I'm staring too long and playing with a piece of green and yellow string. We talked about things we liked best, and what we plan to do in two weeks time - bake, swim and even visit a friend of Amy's, who owns pigs! I think going to Amy's house reminds me of living in Lairg - it's much quieter...unlike my new, noisy neighbourhood!
