Roland Rat : The Series

[@julieglover6484]

My boys had Roland Rat cuddle toys made for them back in the 80's, they loved Roland Rat 🤣💕 xx

[@farzysibley]

I did to

[@karenhawthorne404]

I remember watching this when I was a young child growing up

[@djsherz]

My little warthog! Thankyou for confirming that this appeared on TV, it wasn't a product of my warped imagination.

[@KoopaNut]

I just found my cassette of this in my cellar but have no VHS player so wanted to see if it was available on KZbin. I've watched the first 3 minutes or so and can nearly recite it word for word. I watched this constantly growing up and think about lines from it. Probably too often to be healthy! Thank you so much for the upload. It's made my day!! ❤

[@richallenxbox1976]

I can't believe that back in the mid 80s this was the highlight of Saturday night TV on BBC1! I can still remember (unfortunately), the episode on what was then a fictional BBC 3 starring Sam Fox as Little Miss Muffet!

[@mikekaraoke]

This was one of the highlights, and was aimed at kids-another one of my favs for Sat night was: Spitting Image not that was for adults and a lot of the jokes went over my head as a 3/4 year old when I first started watching it!

[@MaskedMan66]

I always thought that Brian Blessed would be perfect for the role of the Ghost of Christmas Present... and I hope one day he gets to play it....

[@thesloaneranger1]

i had this on video and lost it during a move...thank you for sharing! my life is complete again YEAHHHHHHHH!! :)

[@nicholalaw9341]

thesloaneranger1 fucking funny..

[@isaacleillhikar4566]

Aiiihhhhaaaaahhh.

[@battywattywoo]

I felt disappointed that "lovely Linda" wasn't an adorable puppet rodent.

[@JasmineSurrealVideos]

Kevin is the image of Prince Harry! Brilliant, anarchic and funny series, my favourite was Rolands parents talking about the ozone layer being like a string vest with the holes. I remember the songs on the album especially the soapy sudsy legend that was Pink Bucket, but can't remember anything from the series at all. I know one of my first crushes was Tim Brooke Taylor, so it was kinda weird watching him as an adult decidedly not crushing on him at all....

[@discogareth]

I used to love the episode with RatEnders. Got that on an old tape somwhere.

[@mikekaraoke]

Betamax or VHS or both?

[@danielwilliamson6180]

24:55 "First. You pluck you're bird." LOL

[@robmortimer4150]

"Who wants to get to the other side of Staines?!" Great line.

[@tuckedup]

oh sorry, i was searching for Rishi Sunak : The Series

[@Alpinenewt]

Thanks for uploading this. Stumbled across it by accident and had a great hour of nostalgia!

[@TheMagicLad1]

Had this on tape. Memories :')

[@mistofoles]

Bloody hell, It's Olive from "ON THE BUSES" !

[@russellmoxham5625]

Quite the supporting cast of humans

[@garycox9341]

Out of curiosity, i decided to relocate back to my infancy to reminisce on my childhood hero Roland Rat!😊 Whenever people compare to him to the so called PM in Downing St, its an insult to a legend! 😠

[@matthewfarmer5676]

Bring this legend back

[@andrewtaylor8154]

brilliant never would get away with this now days

[@rajnirvan3336]

49:20 🤣🤣😂🤣😂 Its Jimmy Savile bet that made Chris Tarrant cringe. Even Chris Tarrant said Jimmy Savile was nasty

[@BazAlderson-jackson]

Loved watching this 😊

[@rajnirvan3336]

RIP Tim Brooke Taylor, John Challis and Anna Karen

[@rubix2007]

omg thanks! Looked for this for years basically, hoping someone would upload it finally. Classic memories as a kid :D

[@soko4710]

Roland Rat is Basil Brush for people who think that yelling any words will always make them funny and that the word 'toilet' is hilarious in and of itself

[@Hedgemist]

I always thought Roland Rat sounded just like Blakey from On the Buses.

[@battywattywoo]

"Somewhere" on KZbin there is/was a version of this including the wedding..........It's elusive!

[@raddy26]

love this its before tv got babyfied lol

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Oh that what the tv in the car ment lol

[@HashMagician]

ASHENS

[@simon1878efc]

Classic!, Superb, great memories!!!

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Tv in the Back of the car? Yeah lol

[@SuperDannyb1975]

I remember he used to have this bloke hanging about like a butler or something who always called him Raynard and pissed him off- the dialogue would be like "OW MANY TIMES DO I AV TO TELL YA.......IT'S ROLANNNNNND..............." to the which the reply would be " Sorry Raynard" thus pissing him off even more. Anyone remember that?

[@David315842]

Thanks for uploading this. :)

[@jasminetheplayeranderson6039]

I was born in 2010 but this is interesting (I was born on 28 of September 2010 !) but I’m not eight and I enjoyed it!

[@Jayfive276]

80s Leslie Ash. Yum.

[@HuntersMoon78]

Yeah she was hot until she did the fish lips

[@stuartbraden3918]

"yyyyyeeeeeeeaaaaaaa ratfans!"😆 (sh1t im gettin old😣👍👍👍)

[@Theglasspass]

Roland rat was on comic relief helping hand and all the puppets on children’s tv from the 80s and the 90s

[@georgeowain]

I bet Chris Tarrant would cringe if he saw the bit where Roland called him Jimmy Saville.

[@rajnirvan3336]

Even Tarrant said Saville was a repulsive person when he met him years ago. Chris actually done impression of Saville on Tiswas

[@SPARKIETHESPACESHIP]

THE RAT LOVES ME. THE RAT LOVES ME . THE RAT LOVES ME.

[@eleanorhogan3669]

I just thought of this:(Numbah 3 and Numbah 1 are tunnelling underground, get lost and find themselves in Roland's house)Numbah 3:Um I think we're lost Numbah 1:Oh nuts Errol:(comes into the room) Eh? Who are you and where did you come from?Numbah 3:Oh cutie, fuzzy, big hamster! (she hugs him) Errol:Is this girl dangerous?Numbah 1:No she just finds hamsters cute and loves to hug them. Errol:Oh that's okay (he hugs Numbah 3 back).

[@h0rsefuneral]

Funny. Love the tongue.

[@commissioner1969]
