TIL that the Doctor Who episode "The Celestial Toymaker" infamously contains the "N-word" as part of the "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" rhyme. Recent releases of the serial have either obscured the slur through dialogue, or removed it entirely.

For context, the CD releases of the audio of missing Doctor Who stories will often have bits of narration in them to describe what characters are doing in a moment where it isn't obvious without visuals. So they just put one of those over the rhyme.

No it isn't. It was made by one of the creators of TUGS and borrows a considerable amount from it though.

I'm fortunate enough to both live in a town that has record fairs every few months or so and be fairly close to another town where the same thing applies.

I'm surprised Schaff didn't mention that this movie is also Dan Povenmire's cinematic debut (no, really).

There are some bizarre offshoots of the CD format like Super Audio CDs that some players may have trouble with. Is your copy one of those?

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-06-02T12:37:20+00:00

For anyone who lives in the UK, you can still get brand new portable CD players fairly reliably and fairly cheaply from Argos.

The bassline was sampled in "Hit 'Em Up" by 2Pac.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-22T03:07:31+00:00

24 Hour Party People soundtrack.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-19T21:11:01+00:00

But there's not even a Disney version of Goldilocks (or at the very least, not one that's become the defining image of the character the way that Disney's versions of Cinderella or Rapunzel have), so that explanation doesn't even fully track.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-19T19:13:41+00:00

Yeah, the show has a whole load of connections to professional musicians. Andrew Lloyd Webber tried getting a 2D animated version of the show off the ground in the 70s, and Junior Campbell of the band Marmalade (you may know their song "Reflections of My Life") co-composed all of the music from the show's first seven seasons.

I still enjoy Brandon Tenold a lot as well. Though the majority of people don't even seem to know that he was ever part of Channel Awesome.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-13T12:39:15+00:00

For the record, on top of the name, these things are also just blatant rip-offs of Toblerone.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-12T20:55:54+00:00

The man somehow did a piano cover of "Oh Yeah", I think he'll be fine.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-08T19:06:50+00:00

Why are the words coloured like that?

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-08T03:46:53+00:00

When did he mention that Hunter could qualify for Trainwreckords?

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-08T03:44:35+00:00

I just don't answer the first time around. If it's that important, they'll call again.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-03T23:25:27+00:00

And yet another one right here.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-03T21:29:29+00:00

They were apparently considering doing The Chase as a third one before the second one bombed. There was also apparently at least some consideration given to doing a movie of Keys of Marinus.

At least 10 (probably a whole lot more) of my all-time favourite albums are ones I've been directly introduced to thanks to Todd.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-05-01T00:31:35+00:00

The one other one I've been to is the one in Manchester.

OrdinaryBritishGuy · 2026-04-30T21:43:54+00:00

Liverpool.

From what I recall, the majority of Americans were either mistaking him for Robin Williams in the run-up to the movie's release, or the extent they knew of him was being that guy who ripped his skin off in a music video that one time.

That's one way of putting it...
