what they got away with

you wouldn’t believe
kids’ TV
all the way back in the 1970s
there are so many sick and horrifying examples
the following’s just a nauseating sample:

The Zombles
A family of hideous underground creatures
who hide on the Common and come out to eat ya
feasting on the livers n’guts
of anyone dropping coffee cups

Badpuss
The most important, the most beautiful, the most magical
saggy old cloth cat whose nickname is Hannibal

Strange Hill
A secondary school you can only go
if you died a hundred years ago

Captain Bugwash
An undead pirate who roams the seas
crawling in worms and crabs and fleas

Rentaghost
Self-explanatory really
