KYTV
KYTV :
Airing towards the end of the 80s, KYTV was the TV offshoot of the fantastic radio sketch show "Radio Active". It was based around a fictional TV station, and lampooned the cheap production values found in the developing satellite TV industry (malfunctioning equipment, corny links, unprepared announcers, incorrect cameras and so on...).
The series was essentially a series of themed sketches, and while still capable of raising a smile, the show is most noteable for its cast (Helen Atkinson Wood, Angus Deayton & Geoffrey Perkins), who all went on to successful comedy careers. Geoffrey Perkins in particular became a very successful comedy producer and Head of Comedy for the BBC, while Angus Deayton established himself as a firm favourite thanks to is roles in "One Foot In the Grave", and as presenter of "Have I Got News For You"

The original fiendishly difficult puzzle,
now with solution guide
The original fiendishly difficult puzzle, invented by Erno Rubik in Hungary and one of the biggest toy crazes ever. In 1982 Hawkin's Bazaar was the first to bring a few cases of the Rubik's Cube to England. Unfortunately 25 years ago we were very small and it wasn't long before a much larger company had the exclusive rights to distribute in the UK. We are very pleased to be offering it again! And now includes a new seven step solution guide.

Also remembered...
Alphabet Castle began in 1993 with a series of 26 episodes (each episode dedicated to a letter of the alphabet). It had three main characters: King Alpha, Queen Bet, and Gobbledygook the turkey. It starred Stephen Cannon and the late Joanne Campbell. It was great for teaching us kids how to spell!
