Episode 308 - Victor & Maria

March 22, 2021 05:00 - 15 minutes - 14.3 MB

A polar bear and a girl try on some coats and nobody asks any questions. It would be perfectly reasonable to ask why she has a polar bear with her. Or even why the polar bear is trying on coats. But nobody does.

Episode 307 - Rocky Hollow

March 15, 2021 05:00 - 15 minutes - 14.5 MB

Time for a proper forgotten nightmare fuel treat this week as we watch Rocky Hollow, which definitely didn't exist but is also definitely going to crawl out of whatever screen you're watching it on and kill you.

March 08, 2021 06:00 - 23 minutes - 21.5 MB

A cushion puppet competes with a man in tight trousers for the most inappropriate bulge on a kids' TV show, as we watch Hickory House before washing our eyes out with bleach.

Episode 305 - Super Mario World

March 01, 2021 06:00 - 16 minutes - 15.4 MB

Arguably the best video game series ever made has only ever received the worst cartoon spin-offs. Super Mario World is apparently a blast from the past. But what's your favourite kind of blast? Let us know.

Episode 304 - Sylvanian Families

February 22, 2021 06:00 - 26 minutes - 24.7 MB

How do you make a cartoon out of woodland creatures living in doll houses? Add some unnecessary human kids, several layers of reality, a vampire villain and a rejected Wuzzle.

Episode 302 - NOW... that's what I call the 80s-est 80s music videos 3

February 08, 2021 06:00 - 25 minutes - 23.5 MB

We decide to look at some more 80s music videos, and start off with three of Mark's picks. So roll up your jacket sleeves, grab a pair of legwarmers and get ready to dance to the sound of two men talking over all the music. Boooo!

Episode 301 - Dungeons & Dragons RE-RE-REVISITED

February 01, 2021 06:00 - 28 minutes - 26.5 MB

"Ranger... Barbarian... Magician... Thief... Cavalier... and Acrobat!" 100 more episodes have gone by, so Mark and Martyn re-re-revisit the first episode of W4B by re-re-rewatching the first episode of Dungeons and Dragons. Again. Because they said they would. And they are stupid. Re-re-reliving all the fun and adventure of a group of abandoned teenagers hampered in their quest to get home by a small mewling unicorn. For a fourth time. It's just as good as it sounded every other time be...

Episode 300 - Mike Read's Pop Quiz

January 25, 2021 06:00 - 34 minutes - 31.9 MB

Mike Read has made many things he should be ashamed of. A racist UKIP Calypso song, a board game based on a rubbish TV quiz, and a TV quiz which would subsequently be made into a rubbish board game. We examine two of those things this week. Happy 300 episodes!

January 04, 2021 06:00 - 18 minutes - 17.1 MB

A load of fruit and vegetables are alive and have named themselves the Munch Bunch, which is like a load of prisoners on death row calling themselves the Hang Gang.

Episode 293 - Moschops

November 30, 2020 06:00 - 26 minutes - 24.6 MB

Before Jurassic Park, the best animated dinosaurs ever committed to film were in Moschops. I haven't really kept track since then, but Moschops is probably still up there, right?

Episode 291 - Gran

November 16, 2020 06:00 - 14 minutes - 13.2 MB

Despite sounding like a badly constructed innuendo pseudonym, Ivor Wood was also a real person, who used second-hand Postman Pat puppets to tell stories about an old lady in the mostly forgotten animated series, Gran.

Episode 288 - Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!

October 26, 2020 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.8 MB

Scooby-Doo taught us that evil old white men would dress up as ghosts to embezzle money and scare children. Real life taught us they become politicians instead. Happy Halloween.

Episode 287 - Rubik, The Amazing Cube

October 19, 2020 05:00 - 37 minutes - 34.5 MB

Toys got cartoons all the time in the 80s, so why not a Rubik's cube? "Because it's just an inanimate puzzle," you probably just said. Well you're wrong, because it's got a face and feet and magic powers you Rubik's Rube!

Episode 286 - Babar

October 12, 2020 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.7 MB

Elephants wear clothes and glasses and talk and everyone's just cool with that for some reason apparently. Still, they have a functioning monarchy so best not to ask too many questions, or Babar will probably have you beheaded.

Episode 285 - Dramarama

October 05, 2020 05:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB

It's October so let's watch something scary. Are we watching the news? Ha ha, it's funny because the world is a nightmare. Let's watch Dramarama instead, a classic episode about a haunted mirror or something.

Episode 284 - Space Ghost

September 28, 2020 05:00 - 19 minutes - 17.4 MB

In space, no-one can hear you scream... so why did Space Ghost spend most of his time screaming his own name into the void? The cartoon was rubbish, so we look back fondly on the Adult Swim talk show Space Ghost: Coast to Coast instead.

Episode 282 - Cluedo

September 14, 2020 05:00 - 36 minutes - 33.3 MB

Who suggested we do Cluedo? It was Mark, in a text message, with the youtube link. The most boring board game in the world gets an upgrade into the most boring gameshow in the world.

September 07, 2020 05:00 - 24 minutes - 22 MB

Two fat old men get out of breath, then they watch Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks have a bit of a wrestle. It's funny because I was talking about us. Not the wrestlers like you thought.

We hope there will "bee" a lot of "buzz" about this episode, as we watch the show with a "sting in its tail." So "beehive" yourself and, uh, "pollen" up a chair to join us.

Episode 273 - Degrassi High

July 13, 2020 05:00 - 35 minutes - 32.7 MB

We finish our High-ology with Degrassi High, a boring Canadian school drama about a boring Canadian school. Boring.

Astro Farm combines asteroids and farms in an acceptable order and ratio. Drop a farm on an asteroid, and you get a light-hearted animated series for children to enjoy.

Episode 269 - Concentration

What do you get when you cross Catchphrase with that game where you match pairs of cards? Matchphrase? No, it's Concentration you idiot, although that was a good and clever guess. Perhaps the only gameshow where a creepy plastic robo-host offered cooked fish as a prize. That'll be niiiiiccce.

Episode 267 - Four Square

June 01, 2020 05:00 - 41 minutes - 38 MB

Four Square is a gameshow that nobody has ever watched. It is about squares. At least four of them I bet. Writing show notes is hard sometimes. TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger WEBSITE: whenwagonwheelswerebigger.com W4B theme composed by John Croudy

Episode 266 - Turnabout

May 25, 2020 05:00 - 33 minutes - 30.4 MB

Turnabout is the best thing Rob Curling has ever done. Better than presenting sports news on Sky News, better than motivationally speaking as a motivational speaker, better than anything else I find out about him in this Google search I just did.

"Nobody tells me what to do, no not me..." Ah Pugwall, Australia's own rebel without a plot. Mark and Martyn revisit the summer holiday time slot filler about a 13 year old boy and his boring family and friends. In the summer - when they go to Japan for some reason. There's racism and disappointment - this is still the most Australian TV show ever made.

May 11, 2020 05:00 - 45 minutes - 41.4 MB

"Thesp... build me a borg!" shouted Craig Charles, as he awaited the arrival of a blocky virtual reality avatar. But it never arrived. Was there something wrong with Thesp? Were the borgs broken?

Episode 263 - Trans World Sport

May 04, 2020 05:00 - 26 minutes - 24.1 MB

Mentioned briefly during our David comma The Gnome episode, Trans World Sport was the program you had to sit through on a weekend morning before kids' tv started. Not good kids' tv though. At least you would learn about sports from around the world. Not good sports though. We were just too lazy to go outside and play. Or even change the channel.

Who is your favourite Tom Bosley character? Whatever you just said is wrong, because it's actually David comma The Gnome, the tiny sadistic veterinarian who could easily sneak into your house and kill you because he is stronger than 7 men. Luckily for you he prefers hurting animals, but we all know it's only a matter of time...

Episode 260 - Noddy's Toyland Adventures

April 13, 2020 05:00 - 25 minutes - 23.6 MB

Noddy. The little gnome in the red and yellow car. Shakey. A nickname for Shakin' Stevens. It's the first episode in our gnome-ology, as we start looking at shows about gnomes for some reason. And at least this is the least racist version of Noddy. Probably.

Episode 259 - The Giddy Game Show

April 06, 2020 05:00 - 35 minutes - 32.6 MB
