It was never an episode, despite what the Internet might tell you. It's a Christmas Tape, it was never intended for broadcast.
I know, but I did not want to spoil the moment for people who were not aware of its existence by telling them that before they watched it.
😀
And how much are they charging that every other parcel can be delivered by bloody helicopter.
They aren't supposed to be delivered by helicopter. They just have to do that to meet their SLAs every time Pat does something monumentally stupid and needs to be bailed out. How he still has a job I'll never know. Damn public sector workers.. oh wait..

Good point, well made.

Wasn't there a character in Swallows and Amazons called Titty?
Still is. Of course, Titty, (possibly a diminutive of Titania), wouldn't have been thought odd a century ago.
And how about a girl called George in the Famous Five?
Many of the old stories collected by the Grimms are cautionary stories intended for family reading, not just children, and the Struelpeter stories are definitely cautionary tales aimed at children; the Great Long Red-legged Scissormen are a threat to grown children who still suck their thumbs.
And how about Georgie Porgie Puddin-and-pie...
the name of the island has always concerned me...some sort of cross between Sodom and Mordor
So wrong! Funny though.
The Tiger who came to tea...
Not only is the tiger a selfish, stealing asshole of a feline, Daddy's a spiv!

Goldilocks? Breaking and entering, combined with criminal damage.
Tiger who came to tea, mum's an alcy and probably knocking off the grocers boy and the milkman.

That's actually quite an interesting diagram - it shows that the components of horse's limbs are actually the same as ours, just different shapes and proportions. And their knees don't in fact bend the other way, as it appears.
It's just the drawing that's a bit unfortunate 🙂
Also ours got given a book called Chicken Licken the other day. Basically the book sets the child up to form an emotional bond with Chicken Licken as she goes about her day meeting larger and larger birds until at the end she her band of meery poultry meet a fox who then cons then into getting eaten for lunch.
I still remember the look on my youngest's face when I read it to her for the first time and we got to the end. Priceless.
