We embrace nostalgic capitalism in the spirit of the season, as we start a month of watching adverts for old toys and games we definitely wanted and probably got.

Episode 535 - Grotbags
Grotbags got her own show because everybody prefers the villain. But in a way, Emu was also the villain, attacking celebrities and throwing Rod Hull into freezers.
