Roland Ratzenburger was a good sport for doing this. Very sad how his life ended! Rest In Peace!

[@ezrathornton456]

Miss you Ratzenberger🇦🇹🙏

[@DavidPalin]

This was my childhood! Loved Roland and always watched him, always looked forward to The Transformer cartoon.

[@fabianrocha9924]

Rest In Peace Roland Ratzenberger :(

The theme was clearly taken from the b-sides "There'll Always Be An England" from the 1970 World Cup Squad.

[@VideotapeFTW]

The song's a lot older than that - I think it's a wartime anthem. It all plays into Roland's over-inflated opinion of his own importance.

My favourite show when I was a kid

[@VideotapeFTW]

***** I hope it brought back some happy memories! :-) They don't make 'em like this any more, do they?

[@cabaiste]

VideotapeFTW I grew up in Ireland so this was harder to see on a regular basis, I dont suppose you can remember a snot covered alien presenting a saturday morning show possibly on itv in the mid to late 80s?

[@VideotapeFTW]

***** Sounds like Gilbert the Alien on Get Fresh to me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH29nXuqnqiXhqs

[@cabaiste]

VideotapeFTW Thats it! I cant believe I never stumbled on it until now, considering how much time Ive spent on yt! Cheers!

[@VideotapeFTW]

***** No problem. :-)

Could have put that better "I want you to give me one" 😮😮😂🤣

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

And I wonder why I fancied Toyah something rotten when I was a little lad I still do…

[@EidolonFilmsUk]

[@gonziggy]

Hello, you don't have the Christmas special December 25, 1986, I'm interested in Iggy Pop's performance

[@rajnirvan3336]

I remember the very well in 1985. He defected to BBC after this

[@VideotapeFTW]

Yeah, this is a _very_ late TV-am appearance for Roland - possibly his last.

[@rajnirvan3336]

@@VideotapeFTW I remember reminds me of when my parents and I were moving home and I was feeling emotional

Ahhh, I _was_ wondering why this vid was suddenly getting hundreds more hits than usual...

[@barttheanorak]

That theme tune was awful. Uncool and everything Roland was meant not to be.
