FINALLY, IT RISES! This took bloody forever but I'm super glad I did it. A video I've wanted to do for many years, now possible thanks to you lovely Patreon folk. (And only available to you Patreon folk too. Although I suppose I could show it on a subscribers-only Twitch stream, but I'm not sure I want to start all that guff.)

As you can probably imagine, this was MASSACRED by copyright horror. But still it lives! It's apparently blocked in Syria, North Korea and a couple of other countries but should be fine elsewhere. Also one company has demanded ads to be put on it so they get the revenue, and another company has demanded that it not have any ads on it, so I'm not sure how that will play out...

FURTHER BITS FOR WHEN YOU'VE WATCHED THE VIDEO:

Incredibly, footage exists of Mullarkey & Myers doing stand-up in Edinburgh in the 80's! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ik7N3ggEq5g 

Apparently Lasry-Baschet were approached by the BBC to make the theme tune for Doctor Who! But they cost too much, so it was done in-house.

Comedian Sean Reynard produced "extended footage" of the Picture Box intro and it's astounding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3q0hxKHpA4

Can we be absolutely sure that Picture Box wasn't produced by Mr. Biffo? Because that's how you summon Xenoxxx...

Not Susan.

I really enjoyed that Stuart. You’re not that much older than me but your childhood has some far more bizarre memories than mine!

A lot of this is a lot like what my step father would record on vhs and play all the time. I'm American. Picture Box looks like it should be in between the Absolutely Fabulous and Fantastic Planet tapes.

I think this may be my new favorite video of yours Stuart. Would love to see more in this vein.

I think we are the same age so I really enjoyed this one. Picture Box was utterly bewildering and I was scared of Alan Rothwell. See also the title sequence of “Near and Far” which is a discordant rendition of “Boys and Girls Come Out to Play” with whooshing synth while the camera zooms out from a playground eventually ending in space with the planet revolving. That was a geography schools programme. Shook me right up. (Can be seen at https://youtu.be/dY3NPCpX3mY )

Shadow of Light

Ummm. Yeah. British TV was ... Don't ever recall something as disturbing as Picture Box in Canada growing up.

Also, while we (to my knowledge) didn't have such outlandish programming along the lines of "Picture Box" here in Austria, we did have a certain Christoph Waltz in an early role as "The Year 1977" on children's TV show "Am Dam Des": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY1Aa7vb8-c (That was a few years too early for me to see, but I remember the show itself...)

Loved this video so much! 70s/80s tv shows are so weird

I really enjoyed this, a weird little window into old children’s TV and the oddities that came out of it. Definitely would love to see more things like this!

Ashens

Wow. Those are weapons-grade rainbow dungarees!

Ashens

I'd never heard of Near and Far and OH MY GOODNESS. That's got to take the crown as Monarch of Creepy Seventies Intros!

Voni Lawper

I have vague memories of seeing Pigeon Street in the early nineties, didn't realise that was sitting somewhere in my brain! Also haven't thought about Timmy Mallet in YEARS...

Nub

That was really amazing to watch. And disturbing. I think I'd be having nightmares as a child seeing that stuff on a regular basis! I love this style of content though, thanks!
