Preface - great video and I love your work. This is pure nightmare fuel for me though. Takes me right back to the grim 80s and miners strike for some reason (must have been watching it at the same time I guess?). Chain smoking neighbours constantly talking about Scargil etc. For some reason I feel sick to the pits of my stomach with this one. I think this is the only video I have ever seen that has triggered me in some way. I have liked and am already subscribed. Keep up the good work. But god damn, this video sent me some place. Think I’ll go play treasure island dizzy for a while.

Am I the only one who really liked this as a child? That era was so deathly boring as a poor kid with activities, books, tv or places to go. I was really young when i saw it. Probably 5 and although i already knew how to read and spell very well. I found the story segments of the programme deeply engrossing and even magical. The spellbot sections were just annoying, but i do remember autistically enjoying the pen with the bright tip. Only saw the programme (bbc look and read) about five times at school but more often by skipping school and catching it on daytime tv.

I would have been 7 when this came out...and it seems to have completely passed me by! This is the first time I have heard of it. I love your narration of it and the humour - a great evening's entertainment! BBC computers...now I do remember them and the awful educational games teachers sometimes let you play in class. P.S. amongst all the 80s drabness and boffy fashion the series was slightly saved by spuggy's sister being a bit of alright!

i watched a few episodes of this at school , but due to the amount of twagging i did i never did figure out if spuggy was a lad , a lass, some sort of strange sort of sexless clone. The magic E certainly had its time in the 90s

Your confusion may stem from there being a girl in Byker Grove called Spuggy.

Lewis from Morse. I loved look and read. My favourite thing to watch skiving off school. It's such a shame that you never hear of Derek Griffiths anymore. This is my childhood right there.

It's pretty much accurate. I grew up as the soft southern cousin who could barely understand his own relatives at Christmas. Go 20mi north of Newcastle and it's almost entirely unintelligible. As in they use entirely different words.
