"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. As the last episode before our Summer break, it has been a delight to watch and discuss - thank you for voting correctly!!!We also hear a little bit from Laura about her MS diagnosis, and she has tried to answer some of your questions.We continue to be overwhelmed by your constant support of the podcast - thank you so much! Over the next few weeks, we'll be around on social media as always to chat all things kids' TV, you can't get rid of us that easily...Thank you so much for listening to series three, and have a beautiful Summer!

We also have comments about their hair.To me to you, indeed. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Two down, three to go!After the emotional turmoil of series one, we thought it was only right to put ourselves through it all over again. All in the name of responsible programming! We have sadly lost Maxy, Peter, Zac, Ryan, and Mike. BUT fan-favourites (Lol and Bouncer); our favourite (Nathan); and someone's favourite (Amber) have arrived. We love this series more and more with every single viewing - there was so much more that needed to be said but alas, the algorithm doesn't reward 5-hour-long episodes. Now BOG OFF.Twitter - https://twitter.com/thots__tvTik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thotstvpodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/th0tstv/Discord - @thotstvEmail - thotstv2002@gmail.comSupport the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Merry Christmas dear dear listeners!We were supposed to be taking a break for the holidays but we just couldn't stay away! As a Christmas treat to ourselves, we've broken the theme of the podcast for just one week to bring you our favourite family film - Nanny McPhee.A staple holiday-season-tv-schedule-filler; a vehicle for Emma Thompson's brilliance; the best child actors this country has ever seen; an embarrassment of national treasures; and unexpectedly emotional FROM START TO FINISH.We hope you have a peaceful Christmas, and we can't wait to come back to your waiting ears in the new year.All our loveThe Thots (Laura/Meg/Elsie) XoxoSupport the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
