We've got a real blast from the past folks!

We can still remember it now, the feeling you got when you saw the TV set and huuuuge VHS player being wheeled into the classroom, you knew something exciting was about to happen which meant you didn't have to do long tasks or writing. Bliss!

What made this time so special was of course the amazing programming that soon followed. We would be taken to the land or learning and guided through some tricky spelling and word rules with the trusty light-up pencil from Words and Pictures!

Showing us how to join up words to make them look extra grown up, this amazing retro TV icon is long forgotten now which is what makes this amazing and totally exclusive new t-shirt that extra special!

Let us lend a hand (or should we say pencil) and guide you through improving your wardrobe with the help of TruffleShuffle!

As fans of ours know, we love a competition here at Truffle Towers and so instead of our usual Funday Friday Competition we have decided to run a weekend long competition to celebrate Fraggle Rock's 30th Anniversary! :-)

It’s hard to believe that the adorable gang of furry underground cave-dwellers have been around since 1983, but unlike their fans who are now adults, the Fraggles remain forever young. Created by the one and only Jim Henson, the show centers on five principal Fraggles who live together in underground caves - plus, it boasts one of the most awesome theme songs in television history!

We will be offering not one, not two but three amazing prizes! Check out what you can win below!

Led on your belly with head on hands, in front of a faux wooden box on top an oak cabinet, eyes as wide as saucers glued awaiting the evening’s entertainment! Four channels is all we had and even so we’d only watch two of them.

Being the youngest, the family hierarchy dictates that you be the remote control. Dad would direct you to the channel to switch as you stodgily walk on knees to the big brown box. After a while you’d try and tempt fate by switching channels whilst dad was sleeping only to hear a muffled but firm "I was watching that"! Then you’d rush back to your spot on the sofa trying whole heartedly to blame your older sister only to get the evil eye off both off them.

Sure we were telly addicts but who wasn't?

Straight home from school the big brown box would be glowing with luminescent joy and we’d watch, Thundercats, Masters of the Universe, Inspector Gadget, Danger Mouse, Bugs Bunny on Rolf's Cartoon Club, Happy Days, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air and just before bedtime Only Fools and Horses and Cheers.

The theme music to Poirot and Lovejoy still send shivers down my spine and give me that queasy “I have school tomorrow” feeling and have most likely forgotten any homework I had and do I have P.E?

On the bright side here’s a few T.V. themes to get you through the day so you don't have to think about school and hey we're grownups now and we never have to go to school ever again :-)
