Fimbles

Season 3, Ep. 10

"Look - I've found something!"


They walk like the Slitheen, look like psychedelic hippos, and live on a planet from 60s Star Trek; they're the FIMBLES!


In this episode, we discuss the Fimbles, its more successful spin-off series, and even a short-lived radio show featuring the series' most annying character.


Digressions include reasons Meg got in trouble at school; bones we've broken; Laura's medical record; and Elsie's personal stash of glitter.


Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin...

    "My tax deductions are CRYING!"We're rounding off season three with an episode voted for by YOU the listeners! You wanted Rugrats, and we delivered.We have found that it's a lot more difficult to create fun """content""" about a show that's genuinely perfect, but we've certainly given it a go.

  • Anne Wood article response [BONUS EP TEASER]

    12:39
    A little while ago, Metro produced an article with the headline ‘I created Tots TV, Teletubbies and Rosie and Jim – I fear they’re being twisted’. This is our response to a very insightful interview with Anne Wood by Josie Copson.We also mused on the subject of nostalgia and differences between various eras of children's TV.Though this is a bonus episode, we wanted to share our initial thoughts on the article to the main feed. This is because we are very grateful for those of you who alerted us to it, and to the evident generosity and graciousness Anne Wood has shown towards those of us making jokes off the back of her brilliant work on social media.You can find the full episode by subscribing to our Patreon.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/th0tstv/Twitter: https://twitter.com/thots__tvEmail: thotstv2002@gmail.comDiscord: @thotstv
