Thots TV

"My tax deductions are CRYING!"We're rounding off season three with an episode voted for by YOU the listeners! You wanted Rugrats, and we delivered.We have found that it's a lot more difficult to create fun """content""" about a show that's genuinely perfect, but we've certainly given it a go. As the last episode before our Summer break, it has been a delight to watch and discuss - thank you for voting correctly!!!We also hear a little bit from Laura about her MS diagnosis, and she has tried to answer some of your questions.We continue to be overwhelmed by your constant support of the podcast - thank you so much! Over the next few weeks, we'll be around on social media as always to chat all things kids' TV, you can't get rid of us that easily...Thank you so much for listening to series three, and have a beautiful Summer!

We also have comments about their hair.To me to you, indeed. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

BOGIES!!!After two and a half fairly serious episodes, it's time for a reset.Dick and Dom in da Bungalow is one of our most requested episodes ever, and here it is. After one of the most fun """research periods""" ever undertaken in the history of the pod, we're ready to talk everything from the cultural fallout over the decline of the Saturday Morning Live Show to the meaning of the words "dirty norris".Naebody move - this is CULTURE.--Get our exclusive merch here (thotstv.myshopify.com) for a limited time only!

Two down, three to go!After the emotional turmoil of series one, we thought it was only right to put ourselves through it all over again. All in the name of responsible programming! We have sadly lost Maxy, Peter, Zac, Ryan, and Mike. BUT fan-favourites (Lol and Bouncer); our favourite (Nathan); and someone's favourite (Amber) have arrived. We love this series more and more with every single viewing - there was so much more that needed to be said but alas, the algorithm doesn't reward 5-hour-long episodes. Now BOG OFF.Twitter - https://twitter.com/thots__tvTik Tok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thotstvpodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/th0tstv/Discord - @thotstvEmail - thotstv2002@gmail.comSupport the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Merry Christmas dear dear listeners!We were supposed to be taking a break for the holidays but we just couldn't stay away! As a Christmas treat to ourselves, we've broken the theme of the podcast for just one week to bring you our favourite family film - Nanny McPhee.A staple holiday-season-tv-schedule-filler; a vehicle for Emma Thompson's brilliance; the best child actors this country has ever seen; an embarrassment of national treasures; and unexpectedly emotional FROM START TO FINISH.We hope you have a peaceful Christmas, and we can't wait to come back to your waiting ears in the new year.All our loveThe Thots (Laura/Meg/Elsie) XoxoSupport the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Elsie discusses the half-forgotten, half-lost, and most CURSED media ever committed to VHS: The Spooks of Bottle Bay.Grab your pumpkin spice lattes and get comfy behind the sofa...

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today on this hallowed ground (listening platform of your choice), to celebrate the life of the UK's second favourite children's television channel.The Thots are here to eulogise the channel which has recently died a slow, painful, tragic death.From the daring, new Watch It! era of the 1980s, to the dizzying heights of possible Nicholodeon mergers in the 2000s, and finally the slow, painful drawn-out death by underfunding, we're going to explain the entire history of children's programming on ITV.Along the way, we're discussing UK advertisement restrictions pertaining to children's TV, the method by which we gather audience viewing data, and the pernicious monopoly that online streaming has become.Oh, and Meg talks about her boobs.RIP CITV. Forever in our hearts, never on our tellies.Support the show Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
