Hilarious first episode. Very Happy

- Deflating Phil Mitchell

- Tortoises

- Emmerdale's "action" from 2007 (dropping a bottle of milk and screaming)

- Corrie's "fit"

- Emmerdale's acting (I think it was Emmerdale) - with the woman screaming up the ladder having a "fit"

- Dragon's Den "alien"

- Re-creation of Dragon's Den with Harry dressed up as Evan Davies

- Wife Swap and the duvet cover

- EastEnders prank calls to Max Branning

- Big Brother

Probably more good bits but I can't remember. Very Happy

Also the 'sat nav' gag and the shortened 'Happy Birthday'

He did say the TV burp review of the year at the start


Yes he said something about a look back over the last year, I wonder if this episode was supposed to have gone out when they repeated the Christmas one?


Yeah, it looked like it should have been on around New Years Day to me.

I know but up until about 10 years ago everyone could sing it whether it be on radio or TV now it's either done ala Eastenders or when they've doen it Chris Moyles' radio show he either tells them to stop, shut up , or makes noise all over it as royalties now have to be payed to use it

Ridiculous how such a song can be copyrighted - but though I'm not up on musical law, I thought after a period of 50 odds years, the copyright expired.

Weren't the likes of Cliff RIchard fighting that law last year?

if the work is released within that time: 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was first released.

70 years from the end of the calendar year in which the last principal director, author or composer dies.

If the work is of unknown authorship: 70 years from end of the calendar year of creation, or if made available to the public in that time, 70 years from the end of the year the film was first made available.

BUT in the US I believe that anything produced before 1978 is copyrighted until 2067.

By your logic anything very popular would be free to everyone.

They paid handsomely for the song, which was originally written by a schoolteacher and was called, "Good morning to you", so they expect to see a return for it.

You're just so negative about things Brekkie. Why don't you pen a tune entitled, "These things what I hate", and see if we're all humming along in 50 years.

Mind you, you'd end up paying so many royalties to yourself you could retire on it.
