Can you guess what it is? That’s right, calcium
- Danger: Helvetica
- What is water? It's a difficult question to answer, because water is impossible to describe. One may say the same of birds.
  
  What are birds? We just don't know.
Is that Olivia Colman?
- Yup! Next to Peter Serafinowicz. I think that’s Josie D’arby and Robert something (a comedy actor).
  
  Robert Popper
- If it's funny and British, she's in it.
Brilliant series
- The first series was so much better than this one though.
  
  The... first?
Thanks ants. Thants
- Thanks Hanks. Thanks
- Write that down in your copybook now
I don't know the show, but I know that's an original Commodore PET computer with arguably the WORST keyboard in mass market computing history.

He's a close up of this "war crime" of an atrocity.

Note. Later versions of this computer came out with a more normal Qwerty keyboard.
- Finally, a dedicated clubs button.
  
  Brb about to take my cribbage game to the next level
- I like it.
- The origin of the Preonic
- That is pretty horrible. But I recognize a few things the C-64 inherited that makes it not quite a monster. The graphical shapes on the keys, and the Run/Stop (without the companion Restore key). No British pound key though, that's surprising. What is horrible is the tape drive, I didn't know how bad that was until I finally got a disk drive.
  
  Blister-key PCjr and the Timex-Sinclair 1000.
- Is it bad that I want one of those? It is so weird!
- So you're not a fan of ortho keyboards?
- That's pretty rough in a lot of ways, but man would that make ASCII box-drawing easier.
  
  it really does! This was the case with the grandchild of the Commodore Pet, the very popular Commodore 64. Check out all the extra characters on the SIDES of the keys:
  
  So many ASCII sprites baked right into the hardware and OS.
- Wow, yeah, decisions were made... that is technically a keyboard.
Imhotep is invisible.
- The song is in the key of S
Is this streaming anywhere? I miss it so.
- It's on BBC iplayer at the mo
- There are a few partial episodes and clips on YouTube, but I've never been able to find the whole thing anywhere.
Available on BBC iPlayer in the UK. Very funny parody of educational TV shows. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p00bt6f2
I'm the fucking lizard king
I love this show. I have weird memories of watching it late at night long ago.
If Christopher Walken and Vince Vaughn had a baby...
Helvetica!
Thankovsky
- I'm rappin, I'm rappin! I'm rap-rap-rappin!
and if we go to the top of the scale we find the Boîte Diabolique. Which houses the 19 forbidden notes
British Owen Wilson: Wouw
This show was great to fall asleep to.
Papagaynu papagaynu papagaynu gaynu gaynu
- I always heard it as Machadaynu, but your interpretation makes me question everything I know about the music of the future.
  
  I concur with "Machadaynu". We are concurrent.
  
  You are definitely right, I haven't heard it in a while!
Sorry I'm late, I was paying a visit to Tlentifi Maarhaysu.
Dude I forgot all about this show, time to get a-downloadin'
