    Don't tell me acid wasn't involved when the creators/writers produced this.

    (or shrooms)

    Any other examples?

    I'd say nearly every children's programme that's in any way surreal (not e.g. Postman Pat) has been created with the help of substances.

    The Magic Roundabout is hilariously druggy.

    How can you say Postman Pat isn't surreal? He's a big lump of plasticine that delivers letters ffs!

    If you think any of that is bad, check out Yo Gabba Gabba. It's amazing!

    Tubby custard anyone? Eh Ohh! :pac:

    Also, the presenters on Bosco had to be the reason the manufacturers of "Childsplay" glue changed the recipe, because I'm old enough to remember the brush having a particularly potent odor; making sock puppets the other day with my own child and I half expected that nostalgic waft when I opened the bottle... nothing! Not even the gone off fish smell! :(

    Anyone remember Tiswas?!

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Scriptwriters were definitely stoned when they wrote this;

    I'd imagine Alice in Wonderland would be delightful on acid, not that I have ever tried it.

    Skip past the first 44 seconds.

    Even the theme tune to TMR is a bit mental.

    The weird thing is that the majority seem to be based on bad trips.
