Channel 4 | Adverts | Continuity | 29th April 2014

Some Ad Breaks that my good buddy BlueFrog gave me from his personal collection. They’re from an episode of Mr Drew’s School for Boys, the greatest Programme ever aired since Mechanick. I have no clue as to why the Continuity announcer on this specific day is an evil robot voice (presumably Microsoft Sam’s sister) not to mention you can hear someone gasping for air whilst it speaks, implying evil robots have taken over Channel 4 and are holding people hostage. Also I could find zero information on this robot voice online, so maybe I’ve gone mad; it’s just me hearing that robotic voice in my head and the announcer actually sounds perfectly normal…

The Dolmio Family is one of the puppets that i remember clearly when i was a kid and what i totally miss about them, why can't Dolmio ever show these ever again despite Mama and Papa Dolmio were still used in the packaging, and it would've been iconic compared to the classic Smash Martians. (although The Dolmio Family originally debuted in live-action format from Australia, but in the UK, these guys would've been iconic.)

I remember this where I’ve watching the half of Mr Drew’s School for Boys before watching the documentary called The Last Chance School on TV upstairs in my mum’s room.
