Willo the Wisp - Games With Edna

[2FunnyVersionIV]

I like how Arthur was playing Pong on Evil Edna.

[cheekyknave]

How ironic that Evil Edna is a television, yet television was the medium chose for showing Willo The Wisp? Is Willo The Wisp evil?

[heartlessmushroom]

Evil Edna has the greatest villain design of all time.

[Jeet27]

between evil edna, mumm-ra, and skeletor, how the fook did anyone of my generation remain sane ??! O_o

[FriedEggsWithChips]

@Jeet27 lol I didn't, personally. xD

[ninjaspiceattacks]

@Jeet27 most of the one's that did, got caught later on by E at acid house parties (apparently)

i always thought skeletor was given a bad press. he was only evil cause his face was a skull (people shouldn't be judged for their lack of skin) and he was he-mans enemy. eternia was people living in poverty but a rich monarchy with hi-tech weaponry. hugely divided wealth. snake mountain was run under a liberal-paternalist model.

am currently playing oblivion on my 360 (having just killed a willo the wisp) was suddenly remembering the cartoon that i used to watch back in the 80's.fantastic :-) p.s the willo the wisps in oblivion are nothing like the cartoon ;-) tis great to reminisce :-)

[nurseratched100]

love keneth williams

[poopendolly]

I remember them feeling like they were on for longer when I was little

[smokie01uk]

Loved this when i was young and Kenneth Williams is his usual brilliant self :o)

[1Thunderfire]

The video game Pong gets a cameo appearance.

[sibod01]

wow must be 30 something years

when i was watching this love it

[helicoptered]

@sibod01 me too ))) on a portable PYE television

[wenglishsal]

Love it... Brilliant.. Does anyone else think Carwash sounds like 'Noel Coward'.. He does to me anyway.. What a super talented actor and raconteur Kenny Williams was, and Noel Coward too :0)X

[lollipopifying]

i <3 Carwash!!!!

[Requiem20101]

OMG! This brings back childhood memories! Ah how times have changed...

[Chivlingtonbicuspid1]

As good today as when it first came out...

And we thought that binatone tennis was amazing and realistic back then too! So much better than today's games!

[homePicShow1]

Trippy as F***K. Edna was in my nightmares as a young kid.

[princhemc]

camp as a row of tents this cartoon

[dragondisaster]

Finally I found this show!! I saw this back in 1997 but I could not remember its name, only that there was a cat and a dog and a tv with a grumpy face. It took me over 10 years of searching to uncover the title of this cartoon

[Gashban]

Love the theme.

[erracht]

Yes! I just remembered the part with the tennis video game and the caterpillar saying "anyone for tennis?" If I had been tere I would have been like "count me in"!

[drlemoncobra]

oh wow, this takes me back. used to be on just before the news around 5.55pm if i remember rightly..... do i remember rightly?

[AidanLunn]

@drlemoncobra Nope, 5:35 as the BBC Evening news before a major reshuffle in september 1984 used to be at 5:40 instead of 6:00

[drlemoncobra]

@AidanLunn Ok, so i was half right then! ;-)

[AidanLunn]

@drlemoncobra and I know as I have the original transmission of this episode on Betamax (and it still proves that it's better than even the most modern VHS machines and tapes)

[Requiem20101]

@AidanLunn Ha Betamax, loved those piano keys & top loading lumps of technology.

[AidanLunn]

@Requiem20101 We had a posh front loading touch-button HiFi stereo Betamax machine as well :

More advanced than VHS was at the time..

[Requiem20101]

@AidanLunn Never saw those, I just remember someone I knew (when I was a kid) having two Betamax VCR's so he could copy other tapes. The quality was crap but I guess that what happens when you use RF leads ha. This was early 80's though.

I am guessing yours was probably one of the last generation of Betamax to be made?

[AidanLunn]

@Requiem20101 We had two. A Sanyo (top loading, push buttons - tribute video to it on my account somewhere, still woprks fine) and a front-loading Sony (very badly worn video heads so poor picture on it)

[TheMarkc]

@AidanLunn your joking?you still own a sanyo?????

[AidanLunn]

@TheMarkc Yup. For Betamax machines, the Sony's, Toshiba's and NECs were all quite flimsy. The Sanyo's, apart from their idlers, were absolutely bomb-proof. That's why so many of them survive in working order today!

[AidanLunn]

@Requiem20101 That depended on your machine. Our Sony BetaHiFi still had better picture quality on a three hour tape than a 3 hour tap on a VHS HiFi machine.

The last Betamax machines were usually the best quality, the earliest ones were usually more reliable but were only marginally better than VHS at the time.

[Requiem20101]

@AidanLunn Whilst I am sure you are right I personally only ever had VHS as Betamax was no longer being produced in the late 80's. It wasn't till the mid 90's or so that stereo VHS became affordable (why there was such a premium on Nicam models I will never know!).

Just been going through your channel, lots of stuff stirring the memory I must say. I also completely forgot that Top Gear was on before Clarkson et al were presenting it! By the way, why don't you allow comments on your channel?

[AidanLunn]

@Requiem20101 Before we go too far off topic (this is a video about Willo the Wisp, not VHS vs. Betamax), it's because they had to pay the licensing to the BBC. The BBC Research and Development department invented NICAM so they had to pay them for thr rights to use it. We had one of the first NICAM machines, I think it was either a JVC or a Panasonic with little audio level meters :) My dad says we got it in 1988.

I just don't want comments on my channel, no particular reason.

I love the Moog

[MJNSEIFER]

Presumably a pun on the term "Will-O'-The-Wisp", which is fair enough. Except... The writers *did* know that the O' part is actually pronounced "of", right?

[tabitha501]

Evil Edna is cool

[WhiskeyByrne]

I love this so much it hasn't lost it's charm over the years! I now have the complete collection on DVD and watch them with my 5 year old niece who loves them too

[teabagbob]

Where did you get the dd from? Don't toy with my emotions!! Tell me it's true that it's avaliable!!

[WhiskeyByrne]

@teabagbob I got it from amazon and I believe it's still available :0)

[bananenpfleger]

i LOOOVEEE edna!!!

[cheekymancunian]

Crikey this takes me back a bit. That Edna TV was a bit of a disturbing character, when I was younger. :S

[eurotrash12003]

Way was Edna a TV..?

[LegalAlien100]

I love all the class indentured voices!

[Cortanaxx9]

dis cartoon is well funi! luved it! XD XD

[leafburger]

Love Willow The Wisp! Watched it as a kid and bought myself a vhs tape of a few episodes a couple of years ago at a boot sale. Kenneth had such a great voice, loved him in the Carry Ons also. Thanx for uploading :)

[xmhairix14]

I remember my aunty used to play videos of this for me- so funny. I love it !
