I think I need to hear more about this...

No, you really don't want to.

I'll say they were "scatalogical" and leave it at that.

Though when people complain about the abundance of kids TV threads, it's barely much more tedious than Oneness being thrown into every discussion.

The comment that people will look back in 20 years and all they will remember about the BBC during Coronavirus is that they still used Oneness is particularly laughable!

Part of me wishes Peter Levy would get a promotion to the national news just to wind up the usual Look North whingers.

How long have they been moaning about him? Must be over a decade...

I've read the SMTV comments a few times now in the YouTube Gold thread and still have no idea what the hell they are on about

Someone uploaded a video of Dec’s fainting prank from SMTV in 2000 to YouTube, heavily edited with wordmarks, adverts and breakdown slides that a) weren’t present on the original broadcast, and b) weren’t accurate to the time of the original broadcast (including a banned advert from 2003 and an ITV1 breakdown slide, even though this took place over a year before the ITV1 name was introduced). TV Forum is just pointlessly arguing over it as usual.

And the person who did it explained why they made it, as at first it seemed like it might have been a cwilliams-esque attempt to present something from their imagination as being real. There was really no need to keep discussing it after that was cleared up.

And just when it felt like the YouTube Gold thread was getting back on track, ToasterMan posts more CBBC clips...
