I just wanted to point you all to this old trailer. You might remember it from the BBC in 1999, but I finally found it after ages of searching and uploaded it to YouTube. I thought you might like it:

There was a shorter story from early 2000 in much the same vein, but I'll find that another day.
I do wish they would do another one like that.

I remember that at the time, but I didn't remember being it as long as it was. It was one of those awkward BBC fillers such as Perfect Day by Various Artists, which is always took up a few minutes of dead airtime.
Either way it was nice to see that one again.

Bit of a coincidence there... someone reminded me about that trailer a few weeks ago and I tried to find it on the net and failed. Good timing.

And if anyone's interested, here are the other two similar trailers used shortly before Shaggy Dog Story. Here is Future Generations from 1998 (also known as Small People), done for children's programmes:

And here is the original Perfect Day trailer from 1997:

My favourite is still Shaggy Dog Story, and I still wish the BBC would make more of these trailers. You know, epic ones, rather than endlessly repeated trash about digital TV.
