Not to be confused with 'Round The Twist' (Australian kid's soap/comedy).......Please can someone tell me more about Round The Bend which had a crocodile and two rats in it (one was an artist) and a potato which read the news.......late 1980's i think.......
It was a brilliant show produced by some of the people involved in Spitting Image I think, written by Jimmy Hibert and others. Featuring brilliant cartoons such as Wee-man And The Masters Of The Looniverse, Thunderpants and a musical section with a sinking bucket of mud as Swil Collins, Mudonna and Stink.

round the bend website!!!
remember that thing on it with the teeth from outerspace? false teeth on legs coming down and taking over the world. weird doesn't really come close to describing round the bend.
There was 3 rats in it, how could you forget Virginia? It parodied singers, celebrities and popular cartoons contemporary to the time! (Nuddy, David Colemole, the aforementioned Wee-man and Thunderpants) I'm only 20. Damn that Mary Whitehouse for forcing it off the air! I wish they would bring it back.... and Knightmare!
Don't forget Jason 'Dung'avon, the opinion pole (a pole with opionion round it). The rats poping up in celeb toilets trying to get an interview. Y-Fronto and the masters of the Loo-universe.
