ABC 2 will be showing The Young Ones Tuesday nights at 8pm.

When it was first on my parents wouldn't let me watch it as it was considered way too controversial - I'm sure it was on at 9 or 9.30 anyway which was way past my bedtime. Used to have to sneak episodes at my cousin's house - heh heh, take THAT mum!
But now it's on at 8 in prime family time and I would suggest looks pretty tame by today's standards. It's interesting how times and perspectives change.

Watched it again a few years back.

Hasn't aged well.

Thought it was hilarious when I was eleven...

[Hondo]

I think I was in the minority but I couldn't stand it when I was a kid. My mates at school loved it.

[Gozu]

Yeah loved it when I was a kid but I too am curious to see if it's aged well.

Special Patrol Group!

[85 WAS A GOOD YEAR]

Damn I wish I had IQ ... it clashes with Gossip Girl

[gadj1976]

VYVYAN: If anyone else asks that question, I'm going to stick their head through the window!

NEIL: Vyv, have we got a video?

****************************

RICK: [stands, a little cocky] Well, thank goodness I haven't got to stay here all summer with you ghastly so-and-sos. I can wait to get home.

MIKE: Oh, sorry, Rick. I forgot to tell you. You had a phone call this morning.

RICK: Did I? Oh, it's probably from Mummy, wanting to know what time train I'll be getting. [very happy] Honestly, she gets so overexcited when she hears I'll be coming home. She's probably started making scrummy Shepherd's Pies already!

MIKE: Actually, Rick, I don't think she'll be making any more Shepherd's Pies.

RICK: And Daddy, alright, so he's an old square. And maybe he does vote Tory. He's got where he is today by hard slog, and he's got to put tax concessions first. [laughs] Daddy's just going to be chopped to bits when he hears about my exam results. Touch wood! [laughs] Of course, we argue about politics and things all the time. Did he ask about my exams?

MIKE: Uh, I don't think so, Rick. He wouldn't be able to.

RICK: I wonder if they've redecorated my bedroom. They always talk about wanting to do it, but I'll never let them do it!

MIKE: Rick, your parents died this morning.

RICK: [continuing on] Really, I suppose it is a bit childish to have aeroplanes on your wallpaper. But they are blue, and I am a boy! At least I was the last time I looked!

<[laughs, then stops as what Mike said sinks in]

My parents are dead?

MIKE: So, I guess you'll be spending your summer here, like the rest of us.

RICK: I can't believe it. My parents are dead!

NEIL: You think that's bad?

RICK: Yes I do, actually, what's it to you, pissface?!

MIKE: Shut up, you're ruining my holiday!

RICK: Ruining your holiday? What about my holiday?! Both my parents are dead! The selfish bastards!!

"Pollution
All around
Sometimes up
And sometimes down
But always around.
Pollution, are you coming to my town?
Or am I coming to yours?
We're on different buses, pollution
But we're both using petrol
Bombs."

O K then,

I thought ABC's charter was to promote Australian culture and society...

So its OK for ABC2 to show 25 year old British shows (I don't mind The Young Ones) but replays of contemporary Australain sport (VFL, SANFL WAFL, QRL, NSWRU) arent....

Hmm....

BOOOOOOO AM! Actually I tend to agree. When Lex Marinos hosted late night legends, that was gold. I'm DYING to see old SANFL replays from the 70's/80's. To see the old WAFL would be great too.

I really think these new channels are placeholders for completely different content. They've taken up very cheap television programs but I think over time they'll be completely different to what we see today.

Special Patrol Group!

I think Special Patrol Group is a stupid name for a hamster!
