More craziness from the TV comic Zzzap. This edition is from the second series first broadcast on CITV in 1994, not sure which episode in the series it is.

Any TV heads want to get together and remake this for modern screens? Kids deserve the quality programming we had growing up. This stuff is stimulating, and bearable to watch as an adult. Looks like a 4-9 years old format as it is reliant on reading, in some instances quite quickly. Also looks as if the creators made this on a shoestring budget, this is a good way forward as it allows for volume, something network heads like. The original show put out 131 full episodes from 8/1/1993 - 21/9/2001. A season aired over a three month period and the show had a total of 10 seasons. With the same grassroots approach, we could make a charming little reboot that will be admired by kids and parents alike.

@@nervesconcord You may well be right in some respects, but it appears to me that every generation has its fair share of the willfully ignorant. My personal gripe with the younger generation is this complete obsession with social media and smart phones (I would consider myself a "Luddite" of sorts, if you would permit me to misuse the term. Alternatively, a 'grumpy old man'), but then plenty of the older generations have also been swept up by the phenomenon. In summary; I don't believe that Humans have changed all that much, really, but the environment has; so blaming the individual seems somewhat futile. Anyway, this is hardly the forum (under a bloody Zzzap! video no less!) for this discussion, so I apologise for babbling on! =P
