Children of the sun, see your time has just begun

Myself and Bob have just finished watching the final episode of possibly the best kids' cartoon series ever made, The Mysterious Cities Of Gold, which my brother gave me on DVD(*) for Christmas. It was one of the few programmes from the 80s that really stuck in my mind... not coherently, just a few odd images (mostly the golden condor, obv) and a sense that it was something out of the ordinary. It was definitely worth seeing again -- clunky lost-in-translation dialogue, dodgy synth soundtrack and all. And the best part was, the DVD included footage of Philip Schofield presenting the final epsiode from the Broom Cupboard on Children's BBC and singing along to the end credits! How ace is that. How shall we entertain ourselves post-Hollyoaks now? We might have to start talking to each other or something. Imagine that. :p
