Rod Hull and Emu. You were one of my childhood heros. I still miss Rod so much. You make me laugh as much now as you did years ago. Your a true genius. R.I.P
@AnthonyUK So this one is the second episode, hence "Return of the Deadly Dustbins"? It was the first episode (of which no copy seems to exist) which had the phone box queue. Right. Wish they'd release a DVD of EBC1 - "Emu Trek", "The Emudin Line", "Open Emuversity", "The Bionic Emu", and, of course, Billy Dainty skiing and mountain climbing with a box of worms, "All because the Lady Emu loves worms!" Brilliant. Repeat, repeat, repeat!
There is a clip of the first dustbin caper on the documentary "A Bird in the Hand", which implies it must exist somewhere or at least it did in 2003 when the documentary was produced.
I found the Deadly Dustbins pretty scary myself when I was a kid, Janboreeni, so you're in good company. "RUB-BISH! DIS-POSE! IN-CIN-ER-ATE!" (Chilling stuff!)
I'm sad to confess that, at six years old, this had such a disturbing effect on me and I was terrified of these bins. Used to have nightmares! Strangely not so much of the Daleks though. Thank you for posting this, it's very cathartic.
This show was one of my faves as a child, in the happy days before Rod Hull and Emu made the awful Pink Windmill show. Well, I say that, Grotbags and co made it so terrible I watched it for unintentional laughs!!
Playing Disco Duck in the background at the beginning! 'The Pink Windmill' stuff was aimed at a younger audience - terrible for me, but then I was nearly twenty by then!
That's not fair. It's only really the Whittaker & Chibnall era that's crap. And maybe some of the Capaldi era (which wasn't sure to him, but down to lazy writing)
This was only marginally more silly than many actual episodes of doctor who in the 70's and 80's, where the doctor was often fighting random high st/household objects that were supposed to be aliens. I recall someone getting eaten by a couch for example.
@AnthonyUK Didn't it end with Rod and Emu going back to the Tardis and there's a bloke inside using the phone and a queue waiting to use it? Our "heroes" try to get in and keep getting pushed to the back of the queue by the angry people in the line. "Crackerjack" did several DW spoofs, as I recall.
Yes, didn't they put the tin foil disc on it and jam the camera lens over it? Or was it Rod and Emu just turning it round really badly like a steering wheel for a laugh? Great days !
I always remember the EBC1 theme & the Doctor Who parody. That's all haha.
Loved this as a little kid. Happy memories x

Ah, great to see this again - one of the very best Dr Who spoofs ever!
Its a toss between Rod or Mr. Bean in the doctor who spoof videos
The indoor market in Pontypool (S Wales) had dustbins just like those in 1977. It made shopping trips much more exciting when I was 6.

Why has this not been on a Dr Who BluRay set?!
HAHAHA! I remember the piss take of the Radiophonic Workshop incidental racket! Excellent!

thankyou rod hull
and thankyou for putting this up! 🙂

I was five at the time, and it had the same effect on me. Still a bit scared of bins to be honest. I'm 45 now.
I can see that. You never saw the Daleks EAT anybody.
I know your comment was some time ago. I have been a bit scared of birds most of my life (not so much now at 47) and I attribute it to Emu. Lol!

eaten by a rubbish bin - just like Mickey. How prophetic!
I wonder if RTD got the idea from this?
This was better than what Steven Moffat served up when he was showrunner of Dr.who.

I was 12 and I thought It was ghastly
Great, thanks for sharing.
Thanks AnthonyUK. Would love to see that again, too!
Glad you mentioned that imperialpod, when that scene came on in the very first Eccleston series, I remember thinking the same !
Daleks weakness water
Certainly better than the series from 2018
Disco duck playing at the start LOL.
lovely. Thank you. :)
Better than any Doctor Who episode since 2005.
indeed

Archvaldor's Warcraft Hacks Yep, Terror of the Autons.
Apart from that, though, there weren't many other instances of that
Even this is more like true Dr Who than the turd fest we have now.
We have this episode is high quality, and NTSC.
The Phoneis from Doctor Where is seen in this. The sound that Wordy makes when he flies about is also heard.
Nice work for posting this , WOTW.

Where's the end, where they go back to their phone box and find a huge queue for it?
Still better than any episode of the Jodie Whittaker & Chris Chibnal era lol
My GOD!....was this forty years ago??! :(
Who were the aliens that roll around in trash cans? Why didnt they get emu a sonic screwdriver
expect for the hair color and the emu he looks like the 4th doctor
Riding on the open back of a Karrier rubbish lorry, H&S would have a bloody fit if you did this today...
4:01 who is the little girl picking the flowers in the park?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

well that was a load of rubbish. lol. I remember the Emu guy from the Hudson bros comedy show.
Yo 😐
What a load of rubbish..... :)
