Big Cook Little Cook

Season 1, Ep. 12

The oven is HOT HOT HOT!

Big Cook Little Cook is the story of a fraught relationship between two ex-lovers trying to keep their gimmick-based cafe open and viable as a business.

In this episode, we accidentally hit you with a wine-related twist five minutes in. It's a boozy review of the nations favourite man/homunculus duo!

Also discussed: the most common colour of supermarket eggs, the trauma of home economics classes, and every nurse's insistence on knowing if you might be pregnant.

  • Harry Batt Pilot

    01:07:09|
    NAEBODY MOVE!This was originally a bonus Patreon episode that came out in August, and was always going to eventually make its way onto our main feed. This is the sort of fun we get up to on there, and we wanted to give you a little peak behind the curtain.This is something we have decided to call an Els-indulgent episode (get it?!)Due to our immense fondness of the character Harry Batt (and the numbers our Dick and Dom episode did), we are reviewing the greatest pilot that never went to series.Please enjoy this short and sweet appreciation of everybody's favourite 2007/1970s detective inspector.
  • 10. The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Maria Years - Part 1

    01:09:39||Season 6, Ep. 10
    Well, it's about time.The original plan was one episode about the entire Sarah Jane series. How naive we were.So here is part 1 of hopefully a Tracy Beaker style ongoing saga of everything Sarah Jane (and Sarah Jane adjacent...)Technically, this is the finale of season 6!!! And how lovely that we get to end the season with possibly the best children's drama of the 2000s - argue in the comments. We loved every second of making this episode and we can't wait to share our love of The Sarah Jane Adventures with you.See you next time for the (actual) finale!Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv
  • 9. In the Night Garden

    01:24:52||Season 6, Ep. 9
    But somebody's not in bed...You know how much we love to revisit Ragdoll productions and the work of Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport. It's that time again to "review" something that is just plain and uncomplicatedly GOOD.The loveliness of the mostly ambient clips I've selected might well send some of you to sleep, so we've included some tangents just to keep things interesting. These include: our childhood teddy bears, our infant reactions to shampoo, an embarrassing story about Meg's dad involving a bathtub, and the politics of Pokemon cards.Enjoy our penultimate season 6 episode!Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv
  • 8. Numberjacks

    01:25:13||Season 6, Ep. 8
    The Numberjacks are on their way!!!Okay. It's time we discussed the most visually unsettling show ever put before pre-schoolers.Numberjacks won awards for its educational content and traumatised thousands of four-year-olds with floating heads, talking spoons, and A SLENDERMAN UNDERTAKER in the process.We also discuss the topics of synethesia, timeloops as a storytelling device, slugs, and Plato (yes, really).Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv

    Content warning: discussion of racism, antisemitism, and homophobia.Make way for everyone's least favourite cabbie...It's time, once again, for an Enid Blyton Megisode.This little underaged driver had SOMEHOW been adapted into six(ish) television shows. Today, we focus on the least egregious one.If you know of any reason this property continues to draw in audiences, please do let us know.If you saw the content warning and decided to skip this one out, thank you so much for supporting us anyway, we love you, and we look forward to seeing you next time.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv

  • 5. The Magic Roundabout

    01:21:38||Season 6, Ep. 5
    "Time for bed, said Zebedee..."You all know by now that we LOVE a dirty, fuzzy, scratchy, stop-motion vehicle for felt creatures and posh narrators.That's right - it's time again for a trip back to the 1960s (and then back to the halcyon days of 2005 CGI).This week's conversational cul-de-sacs include Meg's hearing issues, the importance of GCSE-level maths, and our very basic understanding of the concept of entropy.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv
  • 4. Bits and Bobs (and Woolly and Tig)

    01:18:05||Season 6, Ep. 4
    Hold on to your bobs, Bits! Hold on to your bits, Bobs!!!Every so often, we cover a show with very little to say about it except for how much we like it. This is one of those episodes. So, in an effort to get this above the one hour mark, we're combining two shows by the same creator.They couldn't really be more different (aside from them both being fantastic, Scottish, and for the under-6s market).Tangents include a history of our household vacuum cleaners, childhood dinners for picky eaters, and bin day.Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv
  • 3. Bear Behaving Badly

    01:34:54||Season 6, Ep. 3
    Jam! Socks! SNUGGLY DUCKY DUCK DUCKS!We've covered a LOT of fictional bears on this show... But surely none cuter than our Nev.We had a tremendous amount of fun in this episode discussing a show that everyone thought was fine and nothing more. But honestly, how can anyone feel hate towards the generational pairing of a little blue bear and the Nation's Sweetheart Barney Harwood?Apologies in advance for an unforgivably long Buffy tangent. We can't help it.This is how Barney Harwood wrote the theme song! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLyryD7-qlQPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/ThotsTVEmail us at Thotstv2002@gmail.comInstagram - http://bit.ly/th0tsTVTikTok - https://bit.ly/thotstvtiktokDiscord - https://discord.gg/e6prv4aYSubscribe - https://shows.acast.com/thots-tv
