Plenty on tv EVERY DAY, going on the internet was a fun novelty, video games that pushed limits. Weekends consisted of the big break, noels house party on saturday looney toons,laurel and hardy and a film (moonwalker bttf jurassic park or the dr who daleks films) on a sunday A vhs player with itv wresting and marvel cartoons and who can forget cbbcs marvel power hour Only thing that i hated being a kid in the 90's .. Staying in was frowned upon by your peers sadly my peers were all mostly idiots who wanted to start fights School discos in the 90's were fun oh and going to a friends for tea and sampling there sega and comparing it to your amiga nintendo and playstation(being considered lucky to have all 3 but said friend had a way better pc back when pcs had games other systems could not) Chitty bang bang and oliver every xmas

@97channel 4 жыл бұрын

The show was originally made for broadcast without intermission, as it was shown on public funded channel BBC ONE in the UK which runs no commercials. So the bit you're looking for must have been edited in by the station you were watching it on, and I'm sure it must have been taken from the original end credits.
