edited October 2005 in Chit chat
Hi

I'm a researcher with a TV company in the UK and we are currently working on a new series about Christmas presents which will feature the Top Ten Kid's Christmas presents, and we're looking to include favourite games consoles of the 80s.

I'm looking for people (from the UK only, sorry guys!) who would be willing to share their favourite Xmas pressie memories, as well as their worst. If you think you may be interested or know someone who might be drop me an email at gurinder.hatchard@spungoldtv.com

...and I can explain a bit more.

Thanks
G

    I actually like em !

    Not much i like on TV nowadays but these are alright. Quite funny seeing the Z list celebs commenting on these though.

    Many times though when nothing else is on TV and the only things a 'top 30 list' on Ch4 i'm quite happy. Many many worst shows than these ones on tv !

    Like the talk shows (which aren't on as much now), those make-over shows for your house or garden. They really get on me tits.
    Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
    I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

    I quite like them myself, though PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't get any of these incredibly annoying B-list celebrities with daft accents to comment on them:

    1. Peter Kay
    2. Stuart Maconie
    3. Jonny Vegas




    Besides, everyone knows the Speccy should by number one. Followed by BIG-TRAK.

    Sounds like this might become an excuse for a load of C-list celebrities to talk a load of bollocks about how old computers and games were rubbish, and how did we put up with Manic Miner back then?

    We all know that old machines had a few duff games but even those are better than most of the shit that gets churned out for new consoles.

    Television pokes fun at old technology, how do we know this won't be the same?

    How about giving this production company a chance? Nobody knows that they are going to give the likes of the Speccy a bad name or have crap celebs talking about it. Surely it will be better to contribute rather than watching it and moaning that they didn't include stuff that you are interested in?

    I'm sure they won't talk crap about the Spectrum, but I bet they have some shitty celebs though...

    Maybe they'll get Emily Newton Dunn to present it. That would make it worth watching, even if they spent the whole programme discussing the Commodore. :)

    Necros.

    Ian Lee, him of smirky Channel 5 comedy shows, did a half decent thing about 8 bits once. He'd be okay.

    Hey, this IS us given them a chance :)

    We've stayed pretty much on topic, and haven't even speculated on the original posters twonk status yet.

    Many forums flame newbies, we kind of wave some warm toast vaguely in their direction between bites.

    Well I guess someone has to like him. Sorry, but he just gets on my tits.

    Personally, I'd rather stick my knob in an e-coli infected bacon slicer than listen to him go on about 'our mam, raliegh choppers, and spangles all bleedin' day long.

    Bit like saying you buy Playboy for the 'articles'. We know why you watch Men and Motors, just waiting till it reaches midnight eh ? !

    maybe they are here asking for REAL people guys.

    I agree that the would-be-wanna-be-never-was-&-never-will-be's that always appear on these shows are annoying, maybe this time they are going to get real people on them.

    could be good.

    give em a chance

    Or Wayne Hemmingway...who the hell is he anyway? He seems to be an expert on every bloody thing!!

    That said, I quite enjoy these programs and as has been said before, there is much worse on the telly at the moment!

    He was the dweeb you always gave a kicking to at school, was often picked last at football and used as a goalpost if the numbers were odd.

    M&M has ditched most of its soft-core output so you won't get much by waiting till midnight.

    Form guide:



    Ronnie O'Sullivan 8/11 FAV

    Current favourite - past drink drive escapes and criminal links also favour this man for 'Porridge' remakes



    Ron Jeremy 6/4

    This porn star is certainly on the large side. Going good to firm.



    Ronald McDonald 8/1

    A bit of a clown, but not very funny. Will not appeal to vegetarian comedy fans.



    Ronald Reagan 33/1

    Going firm to stiff.



    Ronnie Baxter 66/1

    Obscure darts player, who's lack of fame in recent years could be revived by teaming up with Corbett.



    Ron Jeffs 100/1

    A favourite among retro gamers, though limited appeal when it comes to dressing up as a morris dancer.



    Ronnie Corbett NR

    Non-runner. The only person exempt from the competition
