Little Howard's Big Question
Anyone noticed this? It's a children's TV show which is in no way aimed at children. Little Howard is an animated six year old (no - I mean animated, he's a cartoon, not just lively) - every episode there is a brief sketch then Little Howard blows an airhorn and announces the question of the episode. Then there is a song and dance routine about monkeys. The rest of the programme tries to answer the question. One of the strangest and funniest things I have seen in years.
This is the list of episode titles in Series 2 -
1 Why Can't I Get Hold of Sawblaind the Municipal?
2 How Can I Make a Monster?
3 How Can I Learn Superpowers?
4 Is There Anything Smellier Than Big Howard?
5 How Can I Make Big Howard Famous?
6 Who's Been Eating My Porridge?
7 Why Can't I Be You?
8 Can I Wrestle Control of the Weather from Sian Lloyd's Evil Grip?
9 Can I Dig to Australia?
10 Why Do Things Have to Die?
11 Can Father Christmas Star in Our Nativity Play?
12 Can Big Howard Live Without His Mobile Phone?
I urge you to take a look - 7am on BBC2 at the moment, I think. I tip my hat to Big Howard!
