Mindless nostalgia

Anyone remember top eighties Children's ITV show Round The Bend? It was a Hattrick production set in the sewers and starring a huge latex alligator and some yuppie rats. They were making a magazine or a comic or something with cartoon spoofs such as 'OAP - Man', 'Rupert Bare', and 'Thunderpants'.
And what about Jackson Pace, that adventure series with Keith Allen and Josie Lawrence?
Well?

Who remembers Toyah Willcoxs first signs of mutating into Katie Boyle for the 21st Century in BBC2s Dear Heart? It was a take on teen problem pages and was very dull.
Like my message.

Round the Bend was brilliant, basically a TV version of the Viz-for-kids comic "Oink", which featured the cartoons of a certain Charlie Brooker...
Palace Hill was actually a spin-off from Your Mother Wouldn't Like It. I loved these shows at the time but I don't know whether they'd stand up to my bitter, cynical 22-year-old tastes.

Round the Bend - I just remember it as being fantastically toilet-humour based, ie fantastic.

Paul Jennings is Australian. Round The Twist was complete piss. Much preferred repeats of Round The Bend.
