*IF* it's as good as the last series - absolute comedy gold-dust. Originally it was a perfect send-up of the old BBC Schools science and maths programmes that were made in the late '70's / early '80's, though you have to have seen the originals to really appreciate them. Format may have changed tho'.

wasn't these the really big piss-takes that looked like they were actual infomotials and upon watching required the question "wtf is this" to be asked?

Probably - Series 1 was broadcast back in '02, and were 10 minutes long. Very authentic-looking.

Very very authentic - I'm convinced they got the same bloke who narrated the 80's originals to narate them.

I was really bored last Sunday, and ended up going through the various audio clips on a Wile E Coyote / Roadrunner fan site.

(just... don't ask ).

There was one which had RR followed by a revving car noise, and I thought... perfect!

Mind you, I'm debating whether to get another MGF...

(yeah yeah I know.. why? because I've had two already and I like them because they're British and they've got character and I know that's a numpty-ish reason but I don't care and neither do I give a pair of dingo's kidneys whether people think I'm a hairdresser or not - just for the record)

...so it should probably be something like "MeepMeepNeeeaaarrrr*cough*splutter*bang*hisssssssssss*HelloIsThatTheAA..."
