10 Heartbreaking Moments When You Realise You're Too Old For Things

2. Children's TV Shows Are Scarier Than They Are Funny

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDHSbrPZH4A As a child everybody had their favourite TV shows - Postman Pat and Fireman Sam anyone? How about Blues Clues, The Tweenies or Rosie and Jim? Heck, loads of us even loved Dale's Supermarket Sweep and Michael Barrymore's Strike It Rich, and they weren't even children's entertainment. We gobbled this stuff up - literally! Having themed spaghetti, bed covers, plates and cutlery. So much colour and so much fun...when you're a kid. Watch those same shows again now; those beloved programmes that kept you occupied for hours at a time. You will never know horror like The Teletubbies; grown men prancing around Teletubby Land with their handbags and scooters, dressed in giant terrifying costumes. What on Earth where they? Nobody knows why we actually loved them, but retrospectively those monsters are nothing but a twisted nightmare of daytime television. Oh, The Wiggles are pretty messed up as well. You can point your finger and do the twist.

I love all things imaginative, from the page to the screen, and nurture a soft spot for Donald Sutherland and Daniel Bryan.
