Homeopathic A&E

Cheers Neil for pointing this one out. Haven’t caught up with the latest series but gotta love Mitchell & Webb.

Don’t You Open That Trapdoor!

Just noticed that you can watch a load of episodes of bizarre 80s claymation series The Trapdoor over on Joost. Used to love this when I was younger and it’s still pretty cool.
Children’s TV is rather boring these days, what happened to all the really weird, creepy stuff they used to feed us? [...]

We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical.

Cower in fear couch potatoes for I now hold your viewing future within my sweaty palm!

Watch BBC iPlayer on XBMC (Xbox Media Center)

You only have to look at the row between the ISPs and the BBC to see that the iPlayer has been a huge success with users. I was particularly pleased with the move to a simple flash interface and I watch the odd thing I’ve missed this way.

Watch Free Anime Online at Crunchyroll

Since my dabble with reading some Manga I’ve also been looking at good places to watch some free Anime online and the best place by far has to be crunchyroll.com.
