After eighty regular episodes and fifteen specials over exactly ten years, we've finally called it a day with this one. It was great fun making The Olden Days podcast and there's a ton of really great chat in there covering all kinds of old movies and TV shows, which will all remain available to check out at any time.

I'd never have volunteered to edit the Temporal Discussion podcast without having become so superbly adept at editing The Olden Days, so you can thank The Olden Days for the fact that Temporal Discussion didn't fizzle out completely at some point last year... or at least that it isn't still stuck on Series 5 Episode 4, or something like that!

Our latest episode was on The Vicar of Dibley, the next one will be centred around century-bridging CITV staples Art Attack and How 2, and then in June we'll have one on Timebusters, which will undoubtedly mention Knightmare more than a little.

Now that surprises me - I'd have thought you'd know about Avenger Penguins!

Doesn't ring any bells. It depends what sort of timeslot it had - I sometimes watched bits of the weekend morning shows on CITV (Ghost Train etc), and I think I occasionally saw some early-afternoon stuff that aired before the start of CBBC, but apart from that, I wasn't in the habit of flicking over.

Don't know Avenger Penguins at all!

Now that surprises me - I'd have thought you'd know about Avenger Penguins!

I remember it being on around the same time as Knightmare, and surviving past its demise. As far as I'm aware, it was an American-produced show, syndicated to CITV and lasting two series (possibly three, but I only remember two...!).

My main memories of the show aren't the titular penguins at all - there were three(?) of them, but I hardly remember any names - but the villains. The main antagonist was called Doom, and his assistant was called Slime (or possibly Slimy, Slimey, Slimer, or something else with the word "slime" in it). I loved that character, and the voice he had. He also had a lumbering gait with low-slung arms, which facilitated the time-honoured "walk this way" gag in one episode (which Doom humorously broke the fourth wall to comment upon).

I also remember Slime(y?) getting turned into a pedal bin at one occasion, and turning to the good side at the end of each series to help bring down Doom, only to reappear as part of the bad side at the start of the next series with no valid explanation as to why he made the switch back!

I was very young when Danger Mouse was on, so the whole thing pretty much went over my head, I think (especially since I've never been into the secret agent genre). I just remember the theme song with all the bombs and the fact they lived in a postbox.

Duckula is one of those things that I did watch but always felt a little uneasy about - I don't like vampire stuff so the creepy intro was quite off-putting! (For some reason I've retained a vivid memory of accompanying my parents on a shopping trip to choose some new kitchen tiles when I was about 6, during which the man in the store let me sit and watch a video so I wouldn't get bored. He gave me a choice between Duckula and The Herbs, the latter of which I wasn't familiar with, so I went with Duckula even though it wasn't a favourite of mine.) Incidentally I created a lot of "songs" in about 2001 using samples from TV themes and anything else I had on the computer, and one of them ended with "And once more I say to you: goodnight out there, whatever you are".

Victor & Hugo is one of the few things I ever watched on weekday CITV due to its being on before Knightmare. I remember finding it hilarious but I don't know why, because the only thing that sticks in my memory is the line "Hugo and Victor - that's what I think anyway!" (It's possible that I just found Hugo's voice quite funny.)

Don't know Avenger Penguins at all!

I haven't watched them in many years so I don't know if I would feel differently about them now, but The Mummy and The Mummy Returns were among my favourite films back in the late '90s / early '00s. I didn't like the look of the later films so I never saw them, and I had no idea there was a cartoon series!

I watched The Mummy just the other day. I was still amused. Brandon Frasier was great in it. It's certainly a lot better than the last Mummy from last year.

I still have all my issues of Young Telegraph. Had forgotten there were Maid Marian comic strips in it!

A Game Called John was always one of the most memorable episodes for me, I found that hilarious as a kid. One of my lecturers at uni really reminded us of Snooker. Another memory associated with the show is a school lesson where they gave us one of the script books to read aloud in groups - I think it was the first episode, as I'm pretty sure I remember a tadpole being involved.

Looking forward to next month's The Mummy podcast, and the ones you mentioned for next year!

I can only really discuss the impressions it made on me as a kid, as I haven't seen that many episodes as an adult - I don't have an urge to rewatch the whole thing like I did with Knightmare, probably because it's less character-based, and of course I'll never be able to recreate that special experience of seeing it for the first time with my parents.

Richard O'Brien was a huge part of what made the show so enjoyable, so it just wasn't quite the same for me after he left. Ed was a perfectly competent host, but RO'B was The Crystal Maze - it would be like someone else replacing Treguard in the later series of Knightmare, you know? And it kind of felt like Ed was trying a bit too hard, without managing to bring the same warmth and charm to the role. If Rick was visibly fed up then I didn't notice at the time.

Similarly, Industrial was probably my favourite zone, so I was a bit gutted when they replaced it with Ocean, which I was never especially keen on. There was just something so atmospheric about Industrial, and I liked the game where they had to break into the house, and the metal detector, the spider's web, the murder mystery, and the one with the giant doorbell. (I could have sworn the terrifying bomb defusal game and the one with the giant plug were in that zone too, but the fansite says they were both in Futuristic. Hmm!)

I also bought the Crystal Maze gamebook by Dave Morris, having previously bought a couple of his Knightmare books. Ahh, school book fairs.

Looking back now, I can see how clever some of the scripts were: the characters' names (A.B. Sitter, FX, XS...), the storylines which made sense, and the asides from some of the cast:

Magic: Gaa-goo!

Max: Magic says she's itchin' for some action too!

A.B.: All that in "gaa-goo"? What an economical language.

It's probably not as good as I remember it, but at the time I really liked the concepts, and I loved FX, and all the amazing things he could do with those odd protrusions on his head!

The only specific thing that's stayed with me is one strange occasion when they accidentally broadcast the same episode twice in consecutive weeks!

Oh my goodness, I remember that now and I was really annoyed! "Whip us up a flying carpet, FX!" Yeah, we've already seen that! I seem to remember Andi Peters being forced to apologise for the mistake.

I recall being particularly delighted to acquire the purple one with Sylvester on it. I think that was everyone's favourite and it was quite hard to find.

Still have the folder somewhere... don't remember how close I came to completing the collection!

My main collection of Tazos was around the time they did the Star Wars ones. I got (bought, actually) a Force Pack from Walkers to keep them in, and I still have it somewhere, with an almost-complete collection. I didn't quite manage to get all of them, but most. I even got the special edition trilogy Tazo (#40 in a collection of 40).

My main problem with Tazos was the name "Tazo" - as far as I can recall, their affiliation with Taz was temporary, and brief - by the end of their lifespan, the name seemed totally incongruous!

We are back with Warner Brothers cartoons: http://yourlisten.com/TheOldenDays/the-olden-days-episode-26-warner-brothers-animation

I had a few of these cartoons recorded off the TV, which I watched repeatedly as a kid - The Bugs Bunny Easter Special (1977), Bugs Bunny's Looney Christmas Tales (1979) and The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981). So they're quite deeply ingrained in my mind even though it's been a long time since I last saw them!

Was anyone else obsessed with collecting Tazos in about 1996?

There will be a new release on the final Sunday of every month, so put February 26th in your diaries!

The live-action section with the lemon battery is definitely on one of my videos, though I can't at all remember which episode it goes with. That Benjamin Franklin episode (Go Fly A Kite) must be very memorable because it was the first one that sprung to my mind when I was talking about the series, as you may be able to tell. Verne becomes convinced he is Ben Franklin's son and this leads to Verne accidentally stopping Franklin from discovering electricity - very weird but fun!

Haha, I knew you were referring to Pirates Of The Caribbean when you mentioned good films with crappy sequels - I had the same thought!

Thank you for all the fun podcasts this year! Can't wait to hear your plans for 2017.

I quite enjoyed Jurassic World, and felt it to be a far more worthy sequel than the previous two. Like all modern 3D blockbusters it had too much chaotic action for my taste, and was somewhat predictable and silly in places, but I loved how they successfully recaptured the feel of the original - the believability of the park, the scary suspense and the little moments of humour. Plus the theme music still gives me goosebumps!

Fortunately the Going Live uploads on YouTube confirm that The Raccoons is in the line-up, though it does seem it was always very early in the show. I remember I always wanted to hear the closing song (Run With Us) properly but Phillip and Sarah always talked over it (to be fair, it's horrendously long) so there's something else to thank 80scartoons.co.uk for!

I thought Muppet Babies was on before Going Live, too. Having consulted BBC Genome (how I love that website!), it appears we are both right... Muppet Babies was originally on at 9am when Going Live didn't start until 9:30, but Going Live then shifted to 9am in late 1988 and Muppet Babies started to be included within it. And you're quite correct that The Raccoons was usually part of Going Live... but! Apparently in the spring-summer of 1989, Going Live was replaced by a similar programme called 'On The Waterfront' (which I don't remember at all?!), and the cartoon immediately before it at 8:35 was either Muppet Babies or The Raccoons, so that's probably why I recall both of them being in that earlier slot. Muppet Babies was also shown at 7:50 in 1990, when the summer magazine show was something called 'The 8:15 From Manchester' - I have no memory of that one either! (This website mentions them both, along with the equally mystifying 'It's Wicked' and 'UP2U'.)

Run With Us was always my favourite part of The Raccoons - such a great song!
