More seasonal tosh I'm afraid. One early Saturday morning I put the telly on for something to watch while munching on my morning Shreddies. In line with the holiday season; instead of the usual American comedy repeats; there was an animation entitled Famous Fred. Right from the start; I could see that it was a waste of time. Every single character was obsessively obese; from the fat father right down to the family pet guniea pig. The two siblings had a major compulsive attention disorder and kept interrupting the plot line; which wasn't overly developed at all. Apparently Famous Fred was an overnight pop star who sang in back gardens and alleyways; all for the amusement of his feline fans; who had come to the twin's back garden to mourn his death (diabetes). There seemed to be no morale for this story other than children should be fat and annoying. The only recognisable celebrity featured in this misadventure was Lenny Henry who voiced the guniea pig (albeit with a northern accent). Hopefully it won't make any prime time viewing spots in the near future.
