In 1991, The Sun put on a benefit variety show for soldiers, headlined by Jim Davidson. However you're imagining it to be, you're not even close. My new half-hour video essay tells the story of Gulf Aid; the event I was born to cover. youtu.be/oLMKIR4KdBg

I'll be over on Bluesky. Same name.

@CuckooWalt They donned many a blank tape from Woolworths

@franticplanet love your Christmas videos and selection boxes - as a 1990s latchkey kid THIS meant a little corner of Christmas to me: youtu.be/-CKo_pRR3T0?si…

2025's final video is now available for all. God Help Ye, Merry Gentlemen, it's Little and Large at Christmas. youtube.com/watch?v=gujza6…

Ho Ho H... Oh Christ! A month early (or rather, on time) for Patrons, get ready for the Boxing Day tummy ache of your lives, by gorging on the fifth annual Selection Box video. patreon.com/franticplanet

My latest video crashes the televised Christmas parties of the man who set the bar Caligula and Dionysus futilely grasped for; the tabloid Great Gatsby, James Whale. youtube.com/watch?v=Po_cTD…

@Jamie_Dodger_ Lovely stuff! Thank you for your service

@franticplanet Just leave this here mate...

@Gleedliker The Roly Polys *and* Dooby Duck? The dressing room must've been like the last days of Rome

@franticplanet Saw this panto when I was 9. It ticks a few ‘Millard’ boxes, Allan Stewart from Copycats, Dooby Duck, Gary Wilmot + the Roly Polys but after looking into it I’ve just found out it should’ve starred Les Dawson, not Gary Wilmot. Sorry Gary but you’re no Les Dawson

@MadSkilz_MikeyV That is a lovely idea, but sadly my schedule is airtight at the moment, sorry.

@franticplanet Hi Stuart, I’ve become a huge fan of your channel. I’m the son of a writer of YTV children’s shows from the 80s. With a donation to your patreon would you consider making a video of some of his work as something I could share with his as a Christmas present for the old boy?

@SmonkingFags @2hrTV Incredibly, they did survive long enough into the 90s to do parodies of the Ninja Turtles and MC Hammer/Vanilla Ice.

Now available for all, every skunk ape and boggart's favourite tradition. Spritz yourself with holy water, it's your fourth annual Fright Bag. youtu.be/R3i59_54_5U?si…

@2hrTV Terribly ashamed not to have spotted that.

Great entry from Stuart (cue Larry Grayson clip). One of the funniest ones yet. Includes Sophie Aldred, a TARDIS, some terrible acting, lots of innuendo. And I'm pretty sure that's David Barry off Please Sir

Now available for all, a look at CITV's It's a Mystery, where Neil Buchanan and mates introduced viewers to all the Fortean classics, along with the strange (and badly acted) experiences of the Great British Public. youtube.com/watch?v=vo08tn…
