OTT - Did everyone who saw it go bananas?


Long, long ago there was a TV programme which was meant to be an adult version of Tiswas - a rather peculiar concept as most of the people who watched Tiswas were adults. This programme did not run for a particularly long period of time and I don't think that there was a much cause for it to continue, however, it was ground breaking in terms of some of the content at the time.

What surprises me after having an extensive period of what I class as recovered memory is that the infamous balloon dance appeared one week to be carried out by several men who later formed the New Labour Cabinet. I assume that this was just one of many incidents that Tarbuck and a few other dodgy comedians set up in order to then accuse me of having sad deluded perversions and it may not have taken place quite as I recall it - did George W Bush ever do the balloon dance with them?

Tony Robinson, AKA Baldrick, appeared naked on 'Who Dares Wins', the channel 4 broadcast and this was really quite funny. I don't know why the New Labour cabinet don't just come clean and admit that they all appeared nude on TV and that they don't regret it. What may be rather unusual is that there was a broadcast after the one featuring the New Labour cabinet and there was a request for videoed highlights of this OTT and an offer to pay very extensively. I presume that the Police turned up and doped everyone who had seen it at some point in the next few months, after they'd contacted the phoneline set up for this purpose. Do you know anyone who watched OTT who didn't go bonkers....? Interesting idea, huh?

It would make life easier if there were clearer links between New Labour and the then successful conservative party. Does anyone believe there are not? Could this event actually have been set up by Thatcher herself? It would be quite interesting to explore whether any of this actually happened, I'm sure it is all lost in the 'ether' but may well have taken place?
