Trumpton - The stop-frame animation town lives up to its name, as Dr Mopp has to attend the scene or a near-fatal immolation. Fireman Grub has lit one of his farts - flames have shot across the fire station lounge area and set the nylon curtains ablaze. Pugh, Pugh, Barney McGrew, Cuthbert and Dibble rush Grub to Trumpton General in an agonisingly low-speed emergency dash through the sleepy cardboard streets. Proceedings are brought to a halt, as Mrs Lovelace crosses the road outside the town hall with her three Pekinese pooches. Cert U.

Judge Doody - Criminal proceedings and petty spats are presided over by a giant turd wearing a horse-hair wig and propped up in a large wing chair. In over 300 editions of this popular daytime show, a judgement is yet to be made by the oversized stool - due to it having no powers of speech or rational thought. (Repeated at 2230, after Two and a Half Shits)

Put 'Em in the Stocks a hilarious cross between the Jeremy Kyle show and old Medieval England, whereby the days victims guests get their chance to have a dna/lie detector test. Except before the results are read out, they are place in stocks, and instead of booing, the audience are invited to throw rotten cabbages and tomatoes at them (upcycling unwanted food, very green and thus bringing down the carbon foot print of the show). When it turns out someone lied, the audience is then allowed to watch as the guest is tarred and feathered. Could be presented by David Cameron

Brian Cox looks all toothy and awed and says things like "The universe! It's fucking amazing!" while Brian May and Patrick Moore jam in the back and all Fearne is things like "Ooh, random!" at the most inappropriate moments.
