Great promo clip. Still think the lad looks like a mini Ian Hislop, though! lol!

[berlinmitte10117]

Great - then Zoe Ball turns up and ruins it... :(

[billyh88uk]

I loved this ad when I was 10! The CGI was incredible at the time, how they got him into all the old programmes, still looks good today :D

[Creaturesfarley]

[fernand3s92]

[nrellis666]

I think he grew up to be Ian Hislop :-D

[TheMasterIsAWhovian]

An episode of Bad Boyes from 1987 is on richie1245 youtube channel

[batmanofni]

The bit where a big crow attacks Ian Holme. Is that a version of the Borrowers.

[MatthewFromKinross]

Hello wayzotoichi, thanks for putting this video on to YouTube. I loved this Children's BBC advert from 1998 and I still love it. No matter how many times I watch this advert I never get bored with it.

[IWF2000]

Had completely forgotten about this... Don't the years simply disappear?

[EmilyRocker42]

I miss the old programms from those days it's becoming crap now

[fraserkatie]

Ha! ha! Seen what Scott looks like now! Go to A and J management website and search for him!

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

Didn't the re-show this, this year?

[26QProductions]

when i watch this vid, all way trubles dissappear. the bbc seems so magical, not a big corperation, yanking our money out of our hands.

[pjw1993]

I used to be scared of this advert as well, and in a traumatic experience my mum took me to the now defunct ABC cinema for the first time when I was 5 (now 16), and this was the first advert on the reel after the eqyually traumatic CSA ident :P

I was pretty much traumatised between 2:17 and 2:42 but the Teletubbies, familiar territory, helped comfort me! oh how we were as kids :D

[coreyfeldman2x08]

God I remember that advert when I was little I was scared of the big crow bit

Cute little boy must be my age now (16 years)

[wayzotoichi]

yeah he was cute :)

[thorpsy]

That's what makes the BBC so special!

[cockalingo]

Can anyone send me a link to the sequel to this BBC promo? It's called "Shaggy Dog Story" and it promotes the BBC's comedy output. It features a number of British comedians/comedy actors and it involves them all taking turns to tell a long winded story about a horse playing for a local cricket team...

Please help if you can. Many thanks.

[rurmundo]

i love arthur cartoon in english(1992-2005) lo amabaaaaaa:-( bwaaaaaahhh im cry.

[qetuoa13579]

I loved this1 really shows the diff between tv to day and the years befor!

[Narnialover4]

I'm guessing 1986 or 87 because of The Lion,the Witch and the Wardrobe which came out in 1986

[wayzotoichi]

oh no, that there's retrospective clips there. I remember when it came out and I was ten years older than when Narnia came out..btw LWW was produced in 1988. I remember it fondly. The aussie-produced cartoon version was from the late seventies..early eighties.

[JoooooxXx]

lol its DEFINITELY not 1986, i can assure you.

[ZZZapJohnnyII]

Correct because in part of it there is Dennis the menace and that didnt come out til 1996.

[JoooooxXx]

yeah, trust me, it was 1998!

[wayzotoichi]

Pretty unanimous?! 1998/ into 1999..rest assured a small team of internet marmosets have been instructed to make the required alterations (for the final time..)

[Narnialover4]

I think you have the wrong year,but that little boy is too adorable

[wayzotoichi]

which year then? I think it can't be as early as 1996..must be 1997 then.

[Halfbricktv2]

I think this promo was shown in 1999.

[playcake]

This trail was shown as part of Children In Need in 1998 and repeated through early 1999. There was an article about it in a copy of the Radio Times at the time.

[wayzotoichi]

fantastic, detailed knowledge there playcake, much appreciated. ;)

[JoooooxXx]

i cant believe i found it on here!

thanks for uploading it!

[fraserkatie]

Wonder what he is doing now? He must be about eleven years old now or grown up.

[mlambeuk]

but it can only be done by the unique way that Blooming Boring Crass Forces you to pay to have TV set whether you watch them or not

[plasticjock]

£2 a week!......Get over it will you.

Loved this promo when it was first shown 10 years ago.

Thanks to wayzotoichi for upping this.
