Episode 430 - The Ratties
Spike Milligan ad libs the narration for a cartoon about rats that his daughter came up with. I bet if we'd listened to this instead of talking all over it we might have actually enjoyed this.

Episode 429 - Roobarb
Time for another cartoon we assumed we'd already talked about, as we watch Roobarb and discover that one of us has always been fundamentally incorrect about this scribbly cartoon dog.

That's right, we threatened we'd do it, so now sit back and watch everyone's favourite mish-mash of Japanese Super Sentai shows and American teenagers with "attitude."

Episode 421 - Dodo, The Kid from Outer Space
Dodo likes to rhyme whilst speaking, if irritation's what you're seeking. His alien race resembles pixies, like the ones on your Rice Krispies. He also has a robot chicken, whose face and beak I'd like to kick in.

Episode 301 - Dungeons & Dragons RE-RE-REVISITED
"Ranger... Barbarian... Magician... Thief... Cavalier... and Acrobat!" 100 more episodes have gone by, so Mark and Martyn re-re-revisit the first episode of W4B by re-re-rewatching the first episode of Dungeons and Dragons. Again. Because they said they would. And they are stupid. Re-re-reliving all the fun and adventure of a group of abandoned teenagers hampered in their quest to get home by a small mewling unicorn. For a fourth time. It's just as good as it sounded every other time before. TWITTER: @spreadthewhimsy FACEBOOK: facebook.com/whenwagonwheelswerebigger WEBSITE: whenwagonwheelswerebigger.com
