Short breakdown during Swap Shop today - what sounded like the live announcer made an apology. Barney eventually apologised too once they got out of one of the interminable game show VTs!


I'd be interested to see what remains of the above in the IPlayer version. How far in to the programme did it happen?

I thought Basil was "ill" in todays show or was that part of a gag?

Basil's Swap Shop

I've looked at 20 mins in like it said earlier and it looks like the breakdwon has been removed.

Some really funny links today with regards to Ed and Oucho's new show that started today, not watched it myself but have heard it is rather amusing even for the slightly too old viewers like us lot.


Happened to catch this today and then saw the other episode on iPlayer.

This show is fairly witty though if truth be told if there was no Oucho then this show would be nothing more than a modern-day version of Johnny Ball Reveals All.

Oucho (or rather perhaps Warrick Brownlow-Pike, who we known is the puppeter, does he provide the voice too?) is incredibly quick off the mark with rather humorous suggestions to everything, such as lowering the freezing point of ice-cream by putting bananas in it.

Having poked about on the Internet, this might of interest to this thread, some early pictures of how Oucho evolved, kids and Tumble Tower (Smile) may want to look away now to avoid shattering the illusion:

The same people who made other well-known puppets such as the new Emu and Barrie Stardust.

That link has spoilt the illusion that Oucho is real!

Here is another classic clip from yesterdays continuity:

A cracking end to this weeks storyline of Oucho 'acting his age' as its his birthday at the end of the month.

Not sure if anybody caught it earlier in the week but the CBBC take on 'Grumpy Old Men' 'Grumpy Old Cacti' had me in stitches!
