Okay get this. Has anyone seen this programme, Tiny Planets? It's about
five minutes long, it's on every day at like quarter to four on CITV.
There's these two little guys, right, named Bing and Bong, although I
don't know which is which. One of them looks like an albino version of
Zippy out of Rainbow, and the other reminds me of Bungle, probably by
association. They're on this sofa, and it's attached to this fuckoff
massive catapult that shoots them off to some other place every time.
So they go off in this sofa which is attached to their home by a long
piece of elastic, and they fly through space and when they reach the
place they've aimed at they harpoon themselves to it. Then they jump off
onto some little planety thing and, after messing about for around a
minute or so, they fix something, for no real reason.
For example today they were on this planet and Zippyesque had this
balloon and it lifted him off the ground and he floated around for a bit
until it burst and he fell into a pond, in fact into one of those
floating doughnut-shaped lilo things that Bunglesque had brought, and
deftly thrown right underneath him. Then they proceeded to fix the
shower system being used by a queue of planet natives, which was pouring
its water down a drain and not back into the water supply, and making
the lake dry up.
Then then leave. This involves getting back into the sofa and cutting
the rope that attaches them, and then they hurtle backwards, get back
home and go to bed.
As you can tell it's fucking bizarre, it's like why the hell are they
doing this... but it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen, it's all
in gorgeous 3d animation, and so unbelievably cute you can't help but
love it. I mean I thought all kids TV was crap but woah. <3<3<3
