To be fair to Evan, Brum is called Brum because it’s set in Birmingham. I have a love-hate relationship with that show because, although it was very good, it aired at 8:30am, and the funky end theme was the perpetual sound of “we have to leave for school now” 😂 Also, I would watch “Britain On The Naughty List” but maybe it’s a bit niche for CBeebies 😂😂😂
Not quite, Brum themselves was based in the Cotswold Motoring Museum (I think - its the one in Bourton on the Water) and he would drive into Birmingham from there for merry high jinks etc.
@@Icegem95 Oh! We used to watch Brum here in Sweden when I was a kid. I always thought the same, since that's our onomatopoeic word for the sound a car makes
I'm Brazilian living in Britain and I love seeing the most random shows here 😅 My latest favourite is the one where celebrity panelists have to figure out who, among 4 contestants, is the real owner of a given house 🤷♀️🤣🤣
@@coolstertothecore Different show. Through the keyhole is a show where you try to figure out what celebrity the house you are looking at belongs to. This is my house is a show where 4 unknown people go around a house trying to convince the judges that it is their house for a cash prize.
"The Great British Sewing Bee ... is a quite a new show." Great British Sewing Bee: 8 series, plus specials, first aired April 2013. Sort Your Life Out: 1 series, 6 episodes, first aired November 2021.
Brum was genuinely my favourite show for a while as a kid There was a show called Grumpy Old Men which was just old male celebrities complaining about stuff but making valid points
@@AndrewHalliwell horrible histories is a skit show that can be kinda racist in trying to be funny and doesn't go as detailed as it could be. It deals more with history that is atleast 200+ years old and even more prefers ancient history. It doesn't handle much recent history.
@@adamnicholls8708 There's a lot of history to cover, but they did do skits on the world wars. And it was a kids show, complemented by most as being better and more accurate than standard history books for kids of the age they were aiming st.
@@adamnicholls8708 Horrible Histories does cover more recent history than that. It covered Rosa Parks and WW2 stuff, both of which are well under 200 years.
In the 70s there was a massively popular BBC drama called 'Secret Army' about the french resistance in WWII. Allo Allo was a parody of this. Each of the nationalities, British, French, German and Italian was hilariously sterotyped with outrageous accents. The British can't speak french, the French are sex mad, the Germans are kinky and the Italian randy, etc It's still shown on the Drama channel today.
Slight correction while 'Allo 'Allo! was about the French resistance Secret Army was about the Belgian resistance during the German occupation in WW II. The show was as you mentioned made by BBC but together with BRT which is the Belgian national broadcaster. Both of them great shows though for different reasons.
@@michs342 This is true- but it is also true that 'Allo 'Allo did start out as a parody of Secret Army. The main recurring characters were direct lifts from the original. However, 'Allo 'Allo very quickly became its own thing and went off in different directions from the original.
As someone raised in the 90's there were some gems. You really need to try and watch Rosie and Jim. Two dolls that came alive and who lived on a narrowboat with their aging owner. Edit - Just finished watching video and saw Luke did mention the show!
I actually can't believe that Luke has never seen 'Allo 'Allo. It is honestly one of the funniest shows I have ever watched and I say that as a 27 y/o woman.
Evan! Sewing Bee is a new show that definitely started after you moved here 🤣🤣 it's just Bake Off but Sewing how have you not heard of it 😂 we have a pottery one too and a painting one and like 3 other baking ones. Edit: okay I'm learning that clearly being British just gave me a lot of knowledge of shows by osmosis and it's not just a case of casually watching tv...unless you don't really watch much tv i dunno your viewing habits LOL
Evan, as a fellow Brit, I almost envy the joys that lie before you as you discover all of these classic staples of British pop culture. "In the Night Garden" is a terrifying nightmare world of insanity and I love that it is one of the most successful early years kids' TV shows in British history.

We have the BBC here though, and a lot of their shows are popular. Like In the Night Garden used to be quite popular and there were toys for it everywhere (even though it's super creepy and weird).
@@bdhesse Of all the stuff I've watched with the nieces and nephews over the years, In The Night Garden is by far the trippiest cast of non-verbal weirdos I've had to endure....... I find Makka Pakka vaguely disturbing. And that train thing. It's all somehow not quire right.
The Sewing Bee isn't exactly a new programme either, when I had a television - which was a decade ago now - I regularly watched it and I know it is still going on. Better than the Bake Off if you are interested in sewing.
@@kawaiilotus Basically there were so few programmes being shown that I enjoyed. I hate bad language being used in excess (the odd swear word is one thing but so many programmes and/or films now are nothing but a litany of foul language) and I'm not a fan or blood/gore/unnecessary and excessive violence so that wipes out a lot of programmes I would otherwise have enjoyed. Modern comedies or sitcoms I generally find not very funny, possibly because we didn't get a TV growing up until I was 15 and there were so many great radio shows (Just a Minute, Dad's Army, Men from the MInistry, Round the Horn, fabulous radio theatre with dramatised books etc). Then when we did get TV the greats such as The Goodies, The Good Life, Morse, the original Professionals, the Saint, all the Carry On series, Aphrodite Inheritance and similar that we were spoiled. Even the soap operas of the day weren't all doom and gloom - didn't watch Coronation Street which we had but did watch Young Doctors which was rather enjoyable and a local soap opera which was excellent (I grew up in NZ). There were some really good shows when we moved to the UK but more and more started being full of unnecessary foul language and needless violence. The original Star Trek was enjoyable but I wasn't so keen on the newer ones and the same for a lot of the modern shows, I simply don't find them enjoyable enough to bother watching plus the US shows were getting shorter and shorter - presumably because they are just adding more and more adverts at their end - until even ST:? was finished in under 40 minutes yet was supposedly an hour long per episode. Even now I have downloaded from RUclips the shows that are perennially funny or are true classics in the murder/mystery theme - Morse, Lewis, Midsommer Murders, PD James etc - and the only new shows I watch now are generally from a couple of Asian channels available via RUclips. I do enjoy their historical series set from 700+ years ago. Otherwise I generally use RUclips to listen to all the old radio shows and radio theatre, lots and lots to be found. I can sew and listen whereas I've never been able to crochet and//or sew while watching TV. Plus I save on the licence fee although they are now talking about licencing laptops etc because so many use them now to watch the telly on. Basically in the west at least, modern shows in general are simply not to my taste and even the ones based on series of books that I enjoy are generally twisted until any resemblance between book and show is pure coincidence (even the latter Poirot series suffered from this while the latest ''Miss Marple'' series is a travesty) so it's easier to listen to/watch the old programmes or read books instead. Cheaper as well but that doesn't bother me much. Even my daughter and son-in-law prefer to subscribe to Vikki and watch the Korean or Japanese dramas/shows as they are far better than anything the ''western'' TV channels are turning out. Definitely original shows and those that are based on books are either true to the series or make a point of stating that they are based on a particular character from a series (Dr. Qin Medical Examiner is a case in point where half a dozen different channels have all made their own versions of the series which began as an incredibly popular series of books) so you know that they are all fictional from the start.
‘Two Pints’ is brilliant. Well worth watching on the iPlayer. ‘Allo Allo’ is hilarious too. Us Brits do great comedy & now you’ve been living here a while you may be able to understand the humour more.
'Allo 'Allo is such an iconic show, I love it so much. Some great quotes are: "It is I, Leclerc!" "Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once," and "You stupid woman!" There was a line-up of shows once and the guy reading them out said "And now, the show so good they named it twice." XD To me, Rosie and Jim is in the same vein of nostalgic charm as Tots TV (I always thought Tilly's name was Teeny because of the way she said it in the intro, I literally just found out when double checking the name of the show.) Oh Bamzooki! Like a kids version of Robot Wars; I always thought it was a fun show to watch. Ah yes, Diddy Dick and Dom, only part of the Dick and Dom Saga of CBBC showings. Who else remembers The Legend of Dick and Dom? I miss that show :( Dick and Dom: In Da Bungalow was a wild ride and I wouldn't change it for the world.
@@weltato ahh many a school trip we 'ruined' (so our teachers thought, we instead thinking of it as a marvelous addition to it) by doing that... Memories...
I have to admit, I would be fascinated to see you review the Lily Savage version of Blankety Blank especially (Not only is Blankety Blank real, but it keeps getting revivals)
'In the Night Garden' is a sublime work of art, probably the greatest kids TV show ever. Iggle Piggle taking Oppsie Daisy for a ride on the Ninky Nonk is the best episode, and you should check it out!
Oh god, I remember Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum. Some of those fools were so bad... Eating out of dog bowls because they spent all their budget on booze, painting their faces in mud in order to go begging... 🤦♂️ As far as I know, it was the parents that signed up for the show in order to make their spoilt children get a reality check.
Style Fixers is a BBC show the changes people stay using charity shops. Songs of Praise is still a current tv show but instead of the old teatime slot it's after midday
As a Canadian I actually did watch some of the older ones growing up. Some of our networks broadcast BBC programming. I've also ended up finding and binging quite a bit of older British stuff on RUclips. About a decade ago I discovered Super Size vs Super Skinny and watched all of it.
I used to love My Family growing up. Keeping Up Appearances. Bob and Margret but, I don’t think that was by BBC network. I am Canadian but used to get a lot of British Tv programs in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Keeping up appearances and my family were both BBC. Not sure about Bob And Margert. But i loved watching My Family and KUA to the point my mum called me downstairs whenever "mrs bucket" was on tv.
bamzooki is a way funnier show in hindsight because all of the "robots" were just cg animations and so the kids cheering them on couldn't actually see anything and were just cheering at a table
Really though? So little happens in it that it would bore anyone above the age of 2. Though I cannot deny that the characters have their appeal. I can't hate Makka Pakka.
I always wondered about the blankety blank cheque book and pen. Did it have monetary checks that you could cash in or just a branded cover for your own cheque book 🤷♀️
The Clangers aren't rats, they don't live on the Moon, and they are voiced by a swanny-whistle. Any further Clanger slander and I shall THROW HANDS! THROW HANDS, I SAY!
👍 FYI 'Allo 'Allo was such a success that it was exported to 50+ countries including the USA (I was very surprised to find it being broadcast when I was in Las Vegas years ago...) - it was particularly popular in Holland (the show pokes fun at the Germans & French) but didn't do at all well in Germany & France... BTW - I think that 6/12 was a respectable score!
They showed 'The Clangers' in Sweden when i was a kid (i was probably to old for the show but anyway) and i LOVED that show. And it was their own planet...not the moon. (Ok....i know i'm a little picky there ;-) )
As a Dutch person who other than Brum and the Tweenies (the latter still makes appearances in my nightmares), I'm surprised/shocked at how well i did haha, only got 2 wrong
I'm too old for most of those programs and as someone not from the UK we got only a fraction of the shows you have. BTW I loved 'Allo 'Allo!. I'm watching it again now and although not all episodes are on the same level it's still hilarious, although be warned that it's not exactly PC (which is a good thing IMO). I also went back to Are you being served and even that stand well the test of time (but not as well as 'Allo 'Allo!). I don;t know Danny and Mick but the premise Danny and Mick "The Brittas Empire". And Evan, It sounds like you still only "know of" Fawlty Towers - you should watch it.
on "Back in My Day", we did used to have a show (not sure if it was BBC) Called "Grumpy Old Men" Also both Rosy and Jim are traditional British names... very traditional, they have been out of favour for quite a while, maybe 70s when they were last popular
tbf Luke's kinda done you dirty here because it isn't "ello ello" like a copper. it's "Allo Allo" like... French accent image in my mind of French coppers going round with baguettes and berets like "ello ello wots all dis den"
You know what, it's funny, in my mind allo allo has always been a French show, and I didn't know how it's spelled (in English) but I was just sure that wasn't it, so I was convinced there's no way there could be a British show with that name cause they would have issues getting the name patent. So I also got duped
Luke should unironically pitch some of his ideas to the prevalent people. I would watch the shit out of Britain on the naughty list (Although at first, I thought it would be a children's game show to try and see if you can intentionally get yourself on the naughty list as a one-off Christmas special judged by Santa. Actually, I'd watch my own pitch for a show with that title.)
There's a Horrible Histories spinoff quiz show called "gory games". I imagine a children's game show about Britain's dark history could be similar to that.

"two pints" started well but whent run down hill in later series, in my opinion.
This made me laugh so much thank you! Also gen z here, gardener's world is a perfectly good show!
'Allo 'Allo is such an iconic show, I love it so much. Some great quotes are: "It is I, Leclerc!" "Listen very carefully, I shall say this only once," and "You stupid woman!" There was a line-up of shows once and the guy reading them out said "And now, the show so good they named it twice." XD
To me, Rosie and Jim is in the same vein of nostalgic charm as Tots TV (I always thought Tilly's name was Teeny because of the way she said it in the intro, I literally just found out when double checking the name of the show.)
Oh Bamzooki! Like a kids version of Robot Wars; I always thought it was a fun show to watch.
Ah yes, Diddy Dick and Dom, only part of the Dick and Dom Saga of CBBC showings. Who else remembers The Legend of Dick and Dom? I miss that show :(
Dick and Dom: In Da Bungalow was a wild ride and I wouldn't change it for the world.
BOOOOGIIIEEESSSSS!!!!!
@@kawaiilotus yesssssssssss
*BOGIES!!*
@@weltato ahh many a school trip we 'ruined' (so our teachers thought, we instead thinking of it as a marvelous addition to it) by doing that... Memories...
@@weltato also *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGGGGGIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS!!!!*
Alo alo was popular in Eastern Europe, at least all countries of former Yugoslavia. Everyone knew Rene :)
This was hilarious, thank you for making me laugh 😂 😂
I have to admit, I would be fascinated to see you review the Lily Savage version of Blankety Blank especially (Not only is Blankety Blank real, but it keeps getting revivals)
I’m loving the trip down memory lane here. 90s kids got all the best kids shows, plus the best vintage shows on repeat
you guys had way too much fun with this ❤️🏴
'In the Night Garden' is a sublime work of art, probably the greatest kids TV show ever. Iggle Piggle taking Oppsie Daisy for a ride on the Ninky Nonk is the best episode, and you should check it out!
Oh god, I remember Young, Dumb and Living Off Mum. Some of those fools were so bad... Eating out of dog bowls because they spent all their budget on booze, painting their faces in mud in order to go begging... 🤦♂️
As far as I know, it was the parents that signed up for the show in order to make their spoilt children get a reality check.
Oh Evan, you HAVE to do an Allo Allo reaction video.
The Demon Headmaster is actually based on a children's novel. A lot of people growing up in the UK would've read it in English class.
Style Fixers is a BBC show the changes people stay using charity shops. Songs of Praise is still a current tv show but instead of the old teatime slot it's after midday
As a Canadian I actually did watch some of the older ones growing up. Some of our networks broadcast BBC programming. I've also ended up finding and binging quite a bit of older British stuff on RUclips. About a decade ago I discovered Super Size vs Super Skinny and watched all of it.
I used to love My Family growing up. Keeping Up Appearances. Bob and Margret but, I don’t think that was by BBC network. I am Canadian but used to get a lot of British Tv programs in the 90’s and early 2000’s.
Keeping up appearances and my family were both BBC. Not sure about Bob And Margert.
But i loved watching My Family and KUA to the point my mum called me downstairs whenever "mrs bucket" was on tv.
Mrs. Bucket❤
Like Faulty Towers, Keeping Up Appearances aired in the USA. Also remember watching Are You Being Served? as a kid.
bamzooki is a way funnier show in hindsight because all of the "robots" were just cg animations and so the kids cheering them on couldn't actually see anything and were just cheering at a table
There was a 2d image of it projected onto the table so the kids could see what's happening
My youngest LOVED the BBC computer games site and Bamzooki was on there
Only a minute in but what do you mean you don't know Brum?! Aww Brum 💛
In your defense, Evan, you couldn't see his complete lack of poker face.
That was brilliantly done by Luke.
British TV shows have hilarious names 😂 This was a fun video to watch!
So much nostalgia! I used to watch loads of the kids’ shows you mentioned. British TV is bizarre and I absolutely love it
You should have explained the demon headmaster to evan. His mind would have exploded.
I cant recognize any of the titles but once footage is shown, especially with the kids shows, I distinctly remember watching them
Haha, amazing!
Would love to see the reverse of this where Evan gives Luke American shows!
Brum was filmed in Birmingham though, I saw it once and it was near the Telecom tower by Newhall street in Birmingham City Centre
How have you not watched the genius that is Allo Allo? Its the type of sitcom that would never in a million years be made today.
Can we have a follow up where you watch the real tv shows? 😂
Too funny 😂 as someone who’s also not from the UK but lives here this was interesting for sure!
Can we all appreciate in the night garden for a bit
Such an underrated show
+1
Really though?
So little happens in it that it would bore anyone above the age of 2.
Though I cannot deny that the characters have their appeal. I can't hate Makka Pakka.
We watched Brum here in Sweden as well 😊 Had almost completely forgotten about it until now, so nostalgic!
Jag hatade Brum varje gång det visades, Brum är I The uncanny Valley.
Grandma’s crumpet made me choke on my apple 😆
1:01 BRUM!! probably still have some dvds somewhere…
We had Brum (pronounced Brumm) here in Sweden! Always enjoyed seeing that yellow car!
Oh I Loved in the Night Garden back when I was a kid.
I almost choked on my toothpaste when Luke said 'Help! My Dog Is As Fat As Me' - mostly because I immediately knew it must be real 🤣😭
I always wondered about the blankety blank cheque book and pen. Did it have monetary checks that you could cash in or just a branded cover for your own cheque book 🤷♀️
No the prize was just a shit model of a cheque book and pen and some other shit prizes but that was the point, it was supposed to just be fun
I am born and raised Western Canadian (Vancouver Island baby!) and I grew up with Brum!! The episode with the kite is my favourite :D
It was nightmare fuel for me
'allo 'allo is incredible! But it takes a few episodes to really get into it.
I'm British and I didn't get half of these. Though it did remind me of some fun childhood memories I'd long since forgotten. Brum was a great show!
so nice to see luke on this channel again 🥰 have a good one, you two❤️
The Clangers aren't rats, they don't live on the Moon, and they are voiced by a swanny-whistle. Any further Clanger slander and I shall THROW HANDS! THROW HANDS, I SAY!
👍
FYI 'Allo 'Allo was such a success that it was exported to 50+ countries including the USA (I was very surprised to find it being broadcast when I was in Las Vegas years ago...) - it was particularly popular in Holland (the show pokes fun at the Germans & French) but didn't do at all well in Germany & France...
BTW - I think that 6/12 was a respectable score!
They showed 'The Clangers' in Sweden when i was a kid (i was probably to old for the show but anyway) and i LOVED that show. And it was their own planet...not the moon. (Ok....i know i'm a little picky there ;-) )
Jaackmate was also on Young, Dumb and Living off Mum. Iconic BBC3 ahow
I think he was on hotel of mum and dad
I loved Brum as a kid!
As a Dutch person who other than Brum and the Tweenies (the latter still makes appearances in my nightmares), I'm surprised/shocked at how well i did haha, only got 2 wrong
Tweenie clock, where will it stop?
IT NEVER STOPS FOR YOU!
I'm too old for most of those programs and as someone not from the UK we got only a fraction of the shows you have.
BTW I loved 'Allo 'Allo!. I'm watching it again now and although not all episodes are on the same level it's still hilarious, although be warned that it's not exactly PC (which is a good thing IMO).
I also went back to Are you being served and even that stand well the test of time (but not as well as 'Allo 'Allo!).
I don;t know Danny and Mick but the premise Danny and Mick "The Brittas Empire".
And Evan, It sounds like you still only "know of" Fawlty Towers - you should watch it.
on "Back in My Day", we did used to have a show (not sure if it was BBC) Called "Grumpy Old Men"
Also both Rosy and Jim are traditional British names... very traditional, they have been out of favour for quite a while, maybe 70s when they were last popular
Disappointed that he suggested Bernard's Watch and not William's Wish Wellingtons when talking about Suzie's magic shoes
Or "the queen's nose" did anyone else rub every 50p they found just in case??
Now you need to do reaction videos of you watching the shows. Sort of Evan gogglebox. 😅
I had forgotten about Brum! My kids used to love that!
You should actually watch an episode of In the Night Garden
Oh, come on! "Just A Minute" is a radio show! That's not fair. Sure, it had a brief stint on TV once for an anniversary, but still.
Songs of praise is still going strong!
tbf Luke's kinda done you dirty here because it isn't "ello ello" like a copper. it's "Allo Allo" like... French accent
image in my mind of French coppers going round with baguettes and berets like "ello ello wots all dis den"
I demand a recount
@@evan you should demand a public vote on all the ones which include things luke HASNT watched :p
You know what, it's funny, in my mind allo allo has always been a French show, and I didn't know how it's spelled (in English) but I was just sure that wasn't it, so I was convinced there's no way there could be a British show with that name cause they would have issues getting the name patent. So I also got duped
Why could I have sworn that ‘No Parking Please’ was an actual show???
It will be by this time next year 😂
Well now I've got the Rosie and Jim theme tune stuck in my head all day
"It is I, Leclerc!"
Blankety Blank 5:40 is the British version of the American game show - The Match Game.
I'm from the USA (California, to be exact) and I used to watch "Songs of Praise" with my mom as a teenager.
I now have 'Raa Raa you are a noisy little lion' stuck in my head. It's the only line I know. What have you done??
This is great content, I laughed so hard during this video 😆
Unfortunately Sewing Bee isn't actually that new, it's been around a while. Haven't seen Brum in yonks! 😂
Luke should unironically pitch some of his ideas to the prevalent people. I would watch the shit out of Britain on the naughty list (Although at first, I thought it would be a children's game show to try and see if you can intentionally get yourself on the naughty list as a one-off Christmas special judged by Santa. Actually, I'd watch my own pitch for a show with that title.)
There's a Horrible Histories spinoff quiz show called "gory games". I imagine a children's game show about Britain's dark history could be similar to that.
We need Evan to react to classic 200s CBeeBies kis shows like Raa Raa, In The Night Garden, Balamorey and more.
Oh What's the story in Balamory, wouldn't you like to know!
