I have never seen these before and I am a HUGE fan of rik mayall but these are just gems and rik is such a genius and great storyteller. Thank you so much to whoever uploaded these as I was only 4-5 when these originally aired so don't remember seeing them. Plus rik is pretty hot when he was younger :)
sooo happy i have found grim tales again, thanks so much for putting it on you tube...LOVE Rik!! the theme tune is amazing! ahh kids no adays don't know hat they're missing!!
You'll never hear a story with much more porridge? Only if you read The Magic Porridge Pot by Ladybird which Grim Tales has stolen!!!!!!!!!! Ha! Ha!!!
Again, had I been alive when this was on, would've watched it whenever I could. Sadly, wasn't born till '94, when Rik had moved onto Bottom and Storytelling became boring because they didn't have the genius himself.
Who gives a crap about the story, I can't stop looking at how Gorgeous Rik Mayall's looking in this...and his accent is adorable. He was certainly in his prime in the late 80's.
Hahahah this is great!!

I wonder if the story was too short that week, hence the mini-story at the start?

Whoa...that scene with the fly seems like something right out of Monty Python...with a touch of Tim Burton in the mix.
Thanks for sharing this trippy but remarkable little series :)
