Cam these are SOOO good! That number taker is actually terrifying! Me and my coworkers were just reminiscing yesterday about kid shows and game shows we loved watching when we were growing up.
@@gemh89 I guess with shows like Bluey, Australian television has become quite popular over the last couple of years! Mind you, I didn't have 'American' channels like the Disney channel and things growing up, so that might also be why so much of the shows I watched came from the UK
@@Korekiyo__ woah the fact that I don't even know what those other 2 shows r shows how much better 64 Zoo Lane was I was so upset when it stopped airing 😪 Do you know why they stopped it?
I think I mentally blocked out Step Inside. It sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it. Then you played the video and tHE HOUSE FACE oh gods it all came screaming back 😂 Also my little brother had that tubby toast thing too! In The Night Garden was nightmare fuel imo. I used to love Bernard’s Watch, that kid that could stop time with a little pocket watch! Edit: I just noticed you covered that in another episode… “Bro has a superpower and he goes to LIDL!” I’m crying 😂
My little sister would choose to watch In the Night Garden during our TV time at like ages 8-10 just to drive me insane. I hated it and it genuinely creeped me out.
step inside genuinely gave me so much trauma as a child that my mum often tells me how much i started screaming and crying as soon as the intro came on and i remember having a serious fear of white houses and i often imagined a face appearing and talking to me and it was a recurring theme in my childhood nightmares
@@nebbynetwork2089 “ziggy’s sweets are mine,and the birdies’s tweets are mine! The city streets and both of your feet are all infactualy mine! It all belongs to me!,everything that I see..north south east and west,I caress it,cuz I possess it,I’m stingy and it’s mine! ..mhp! And this instrumental break is also mine!..the floor and ceiling are mine! All your feelings are mine ~ you always knew it,that’s all there is to it! It’s mine mine mine mine mine!,that’s what I said it’s mine!”
These videos have reminded me of a puppet show called Hector's House I watched when I was little. We had a DVD of it, but I don't think anyone in my family recalls buying it, it just appeared one day.
Not sure if it counts as a British tv show but!!! Would love to see cam watch the Aquabats supershow, shit was mental fr, cannot believe they are an actual band omg
Aquabats felt like a wonderful fever dream. I remember one episode had the "watch me do my body rolls" lady from old youtube as a bedazzled jewel jumper crazy camp leader forcing children to mine jewels for her jumpers but then it turens out she was a werebeast bigfoot
Grampa in my pocket was my favourite show growing up 🥰❤️ also grew up watching Teletubbies but as a 4 year old and up and Lazy Town was underrated and so was the theme song (R.I.P Stefan aka Robbie Rotten) Also yes you’re right come inside no way! That house aaah! 😫 same with the number taker and puzzler from numberjacks no way they both gave me nightmares 😬
Absolutely comedy gold. Upsy Daisy and Igly Pigly as our Beckhams just hilarious. Watching reactions like these just remind me how good kids shows where compared to the ones now. Numberjacks, LazyTown where my childhood. The mustache looks great Cameron.
RIP Stefàn Karl Stefansson We miss you every day . Robbie Rotten was such an iconic character. His facial expressions and cartoon like movements live on with David Howard Thornton who plays Art The Clown in the Terrifier movies. He understudied under Stefàn for 5 years, was a good friend and took a lot of inspiration for his character. They even have a wonderful dedication segment in the credits for Terrifier 2 to honor Stefàn
Bit of trivia about numberjacks The number taker also voices Nev the bear and is now a college lecturer And only 3,4,5 & 6 were ever used for missions because that was the age demographic
I LOVED NUMBERJACKS! We used to get to watch it in year 2 if we tidied up the classroom well before break, and sometimes we had gangnam style on when it was fairly new and the whole class did the dance for it 💀
11:19 it was big bcuz ceebebies (I’m sure there called) would always play it before the turn off at 6:00 pm so all the little kids would be there begging there mums to let them watch until it turned off
For tgose unaware, it's called the Bedtime Hour. Usually the block would end with a Bedtime Story featuring the occasional celebrity at the time (or a regular CBeebies star) before they'd close for the night with a Goodnight song.
I remember watching the number Jacks in school!! But why did the number taker look so creepy..? Omg in the night garden used to be my favourite tv show I remember having an iggle piggle teddy (Edit:) suggestion for the next one of these is mr tumble
I remember watching the re-runs of both numberjacks and in the night garden with my then 2 yr old back in 2013-2014 and I hated them both but obviously put up with it for the sake of my child. I must admit that numberjacks did help my child with their numbers which was the only plus of watching that wretched show.
i used to love the show dead time stories, its not british but i was obsessed, anyone remember it? it would be on the same channel that horrid henry was on
talking about nightmares from the number taker, I can't have been much more than three or four when i watched it, and i can still recite exactly what happened in those nightmares
Wow, I just had a blast reminiscing about some of the wildest British kids' TV shows from my childhood! It's incredible how these shows shaped our imaginations and often left us wondering what just happened! First up, how can we forget "Teletubbies"? I mean, who’d have thought that a show featuring colorful, giant baby-like creatures living in a strange land with a literal baby sun would capture the hearts of millions? The surreal, dreamlike quality of it all was both enchanting and utterly bizarre. The Tubbies' nonsensical language and whimsical adventures made it feel like you were in a trippy daydream! Then there's "Blue Peter," which started off as a classic kids' show but became known for its insane challenges and experiments. I still can’t wrap my head around how they managed to make a rocket out of household items or adopt a tiger cub-seriously, where else would you see kids learning about life sciences while also becoming amateur DIY experts? And let’s talk about "Pingu." This stop-motion animated penguin with no real dialogue but enormous charm! The way Pingu communicated through his adorable language made it universally relatable, and the antics he got up to in the Antarctic were hilariously absurd. Watching Pingu navigating challenges while maintaining his mischievous nature was such a joy. How could I forget "Mr. Blobby"? The loveable pink polka-dotted character who basically defied all normality. His unpredictable antics and chaotic personality left a mark on British pop culture; no one could ever predict what kind of hilarious disaster he'd cause next! He was the embodiment of pure chaos in a world that, at times, felt a bit too structured. Then there was "The Magic Roundabout," which was brilliant at breaking the traditional bounds of storytelling. With its trippy characters and surreal plotlines, it felt like a psychedelic experience intended for kids. The characters could talk to each other in such a whimsical way that made everything feel more like an adventure in an enchanted dream rather than a linear story. Another gem was "Shaun the Sheep." The smart humor and clever storytelling captivated both children and adults alike. Who would have thought watching a sheep outsmart a farmer and find escapades in his farmyard could be so entertaining? Lastly, let’s not overlook "The Gruffalo," which brought a beloved book to life with beautifully animated characters and catchy songs. It was magical watching the clever little mouse trick the other woodland creatures and ultimately encounter the fearsome Gruffalo. In summary, British kids’ TV shows have this uncanny ability to combine absurdity, creativity, and educational elements all at once! They’ve made us laugh, think, and dream in ways we never expected. I truly believe these shows deserve recognition for not just entertaining us but also for pushing the boundaries of what children’s television can be. What was your favorite insane show from your childhood? Let’s keep this nostalgia train rolling!
It's like three in the morning and juat realising what you were talking about I pretty much shouted OH MY GOD, IT'S GRANDPA IN MY POCKET!! Nobody ever used to fecking understand what i was talking about when I bought that up.
What shows should we do next?
young offenders, brassic, banged up stars behind bars.
As a Texan, i will accept anything you dish out, i am frightened and curious 🤔🍩
almost naked animals
Chugginton or fort boyard
Balamorey
Lazy town was such an iconic show man😭
Im so surprised how many shows I know... I'm from South Africa but around the same age so it's weird 😂
noo the animated people used to scare me so bad
Tweenies!
Yes
I still love lazy town and know all the songs off by heart ❤️
Lazy town was my absolute favourite show as a kid I would wake up every day at 8 just to see the episode they play, loved it.
Lol my mam has photos of me dressed up as Stephanie for Halloween. I did that for 3 years straight😭
This comment made me realize that I only had some type of routine as a child due to school and tv shows only airing at specific times.😂
LazyTown truly was Iceland's greatest export. It makes me so happy that the show got so famous overseas as well.
And rest in peace Stefán Karl Stefánsson. You are missed

Me and my coworkers were just reminiscing yesterday about kid shows and game shows we loved watching when we were growing up.
After watching this series so far, I'm slowly starting to realise that 2000s Australian kids tv was 99.9% British kids tv shows
sammeeee!!! I knew like half of them
Round the twist!
Interestingly, quite a lot of Cbeebies (bbc for really wee ones) these days is out of Aus and NZ

Clifford the Big Red dog, 64 Zoo Lane and Lazy town were my proper go to when I was in depression phase at the age of 7 😂
ahh omg ur lit describing my childhood and giving me mad nostalgia rn like
64 Zoo Lane OMGGG 😱😱

I was so upset when it stopped airing 😪
Do you know why they stopped it?

Tryna decide whether your more terrified of the number Jack's "bad guys" or Andy pandy. The look on your face was hilarious. Brill video yet again! 😊
The effort this man put in his videos is insane huge props
Thanks so much mate

as a man with two LazyTown tattoos I was very excited to see Robbie Rotten in a Cam Kirkham thumbnail
2 lazy town tattoos? You sir, are an icon
finding out that sportacus was an actual athlete irl and not an actor using a bunch of cgi was crazy to me as a kid
You should see the original icelandic version. Its so wild
When I was young I was obsessed with lazy town I has a sporticus costume, bike everything you could tell from the pictures that I was living life lol
My little sister would choose to watch In the Night Garden during our TV time at like ages 8-10 just to drive me insane. I hated it and it genuinely creeped me out.
Seeing Grandpa in my pocket is so surreal to me since the girl who played Elsie in some of the later seasons went to the same school as me haha
The dad was my uni lecturer lol
Bananas In Pajamas was a fever dream of a show 😰 Not sure if it’s from the UK, I’m American. I still have nightmares about it! 😭
It's Australian

Thank you sm 🙌🏻❤️
I love this guy for finding my old memories

Maaan I'd forgotten how creepy the number taker is

Oh my god this unlocked so many memories Cam 😭 Love the Video, keep it up! 😁
Honestly really needed a laugh today and you really hit the spot, thank you ❤
The andy pandy you watched was most likely the revamp from the early 2000s
In the night garden was for kids to fall asleep to which was probably why it was so popular
When i was younger I wachted all of these shows especially Lazy Town brings back old memories
The number taker is literally my dads doppleganger, happy to know he gave millions of kids nightmares 😂
Lazy town scared the shot outta me, but the death grip it had on me was real lol

Need bear behaving badly, swear 1 of his mates lived in the sink
In the night garden was my fav child hood show by far.
I also had nightmares about the numbertaker. I swear every child that watched numberjacks had nightmares about at least one of the characters.
Bro the spoon 😵😵😵😵
Cam "Just diggin a grave for all those he's caught. No, it's tomatoes" 😂😂😂😂

I still watch it for comfort at 28 so
I'm almost 26 and I still love it
I’m 14 and I still watch it aswell 😁👏
I'm 44, and I enjoy an episode or two of lazy town every now and then.( it reminds me of my babysitting days )
Lol the pillows that the kid is lying on from the first clip are ones my family has on our sofa 😂😂
i’ve never been this early for so long, i’m so proud of myself (btw grandpa in my pocket was iconic)
this is so interesting to see, a real cool insight in british culture for us from other countries
One kids cartoon i watched as a kid. Animals of farthing wood. It wasn't unhinged but it was quite brutal as a kids TV show.
The number taker used to creep me out too
In the night garden "they just keep repeating their own name"
So they're pokemon?
