THE MOFFATTS, COUNTY DURHAM
MARK: My favourite cartoon when I was a kid was Marine Boy.
BETTY: I used to like things like The Famous Five, and Worzel Gummidge and Doctor Who, even though I was scared of it then.
SCARLETT:Noddy. Johnny Bravo. CatDog. Goosebumps. Robot Wars.
MARK: We used to love Robot Wars.
SCARLETT: Oh, me and my dad were seriously going to do it, weren’t we? We were going to get stuff from work so that we could make one. But we ended up just buying the crappy ones that you made.
BETTY: They used to love Robot Wars.
MARK: With Craig Charles off Red Dwarf. Used to love Red Dwarf.
SCARLETT: Ah, Red Dwarf. Well, actually, as a kid, I am a bit weird, like, I really liked The Young Ones, Red Dwarf, Bottom, The Thin Blue Line, stuff like that. Stuff that my friends didn’t really get, and were, like, ‘What is this?’ Because, when I was little, I used to go to my nan’s and I used to watch things like Norman Wisdom and stuff. So I’m a bit weird like that.
THE TAPPERS, NORTH LONDON
JONATHAN: I used to like Tiswas. With Spit the Dog. And Digby, the Biggest Dog in the World. And The Littlest Hobo. I loved dogs.
NIKKI: ‘Down the road, that’s where I want to beeee …’ And I loved Jim’ll Fix It. Shhh. And Jonathan loved Star Wars when he was a kid. I just do not get Star Wars. It’s the most boring thing.
JONATHAN: No. Star Wars is brilliant.
NIKKI: When the kids saw it, Josh just wanted to know where it was set.
JOSH: I didn’t know it was meant to be set on another planet like Avatar is or … I don’t know, like a fantasy planet. Or two separate planets and they fought in space.
JONATHAN:Star Wars. It’s set in the stars.
