Hey folks 2026 is here and lets hope it's the rudest yet. The new youtube channel is still alive! (for Now) Please CLICK the black youtube icon below. The new channel may not last long, please subscribe if you can.

 

UPDATE friday 16th January
We’re still on Youtube but what to do next?
​

Hope the new year’s treating you well folks. Quick update here rather than a newsletter. Theyre expensive to send and I dont think you want random blurb from me adding to your inbox.

So, I still haven’t moved house, this has now officially past the one year aniversary but, February might finally be the month. The last four weeks have been spent packing, selling, and giving away a lifetime of possessions (well…. shit) that we can apparently live without.

You know how it goes — you convince yourself you’ll need something one day, so you cling to it. Meanwhile the wife’s sold twenty pairs of shoes, so I suppose it’s only fair I say goodbye to the Blu-rays, Sports Illustrated, and jeans I was definitely going to fit into again.

Car boot sales? Fuck my old boots. Why? Why have I come to this?

Bloke: “Will you take 50p, mate?”
Me: “It’s only a quid, bud.”
Bloke: “Yeah, so will you take 50p?”
Me: “It’s the complete Godfather trilogy on Blu-ray for a quid, mate.”
Bloke: “Is that a yes then?”
Me: “Just fucking take it my friend. honestly keep your precious 50p.”
Same Bloke: “You got any more for 50p?”
Me: “AAARGH!”
 

Anyway… I digress.

I’ve appealed to YouTube and DreamWorks every week since the channel takedown and I’ve heard… absolutely nothing. Bastards.

Honestly, I wouldn’t even mind a “no, go fuck yourself it’s gone for good.” At least then I’d know where I stand. Being ignored is far worse. Five years gone in one swipe of an AI’s digital hand. No regrets though — we had fun, and you lot help to keep this library alive for everyone to enjoy. Im forever grateful.

At the moment I’m considering uploading older, copyright-free material to the new channel just to see if it helps grow subscribers. Right now we’re sitting at around 300, yet there are over 2,000 visitors here. Organic growth clearly isn’t working, and very few people are making the jump back to youtube. Plus I cant upload anymore Postman Pats there for copyright reasons.

Which brings us to the big question…

what happens next?

Right now, there are a few possible paths:

• Option 1: Keep nudging YouTube/DreamWorks and hope someone human eventually responds, unlikely.

• Option 2: Use the new YouTube channel as a shop window only — short clips, trailers, and copyright-safe material that point people back here

• Option 3: Say sod YouTube entirely and focus on building this site into the main home, with downloads, archives, and updates posted directly

I’m leaning towards testing Option 2 first, because at the very least it keeps the lights on and the algorithm ticking over — but your opinion counts and is valued so feel free to shout “hey, arse wipe, shut up moaning and just make Brian Cant say cunt on Play School".

I was answering a message from Buzz earlier and I thought I’d share my response to you all regarding his valid point about ai, which a few of you have suggested….

​

​"I have been learning ai for the best part of two years now and created some original content but, its sooooo expensive. The credits go so quickly and if every render was perfect I could probably create a five minute video for under £200 but sadly the majority of renders are unusable and each one is non refundable. Im currently running at around £100 a month in subscrptions to three different platforms, as some are better at things than others. I only manage to create around 60 seconds of usable content. But dont get me wrong, this time next year things will be crazy and affordable. Also Im aware many of my followers have stated if I move to ai they will no longer follow as they hate the look. So keeping everyone happy is…. a challenge. RG

​​

Honestly that is the dilema, create something original and copyright free that takes an eternity and a lot of money, plus risk loosing the nostalgic niche that brought so many people to the channel or, stick with the old fashioned way of dubbing original footage and avoid youtube altogether. Oh and lets not forget Google or Dreamworks can force Wix to remove my content too….

​

Well, in the real world these are trivial problems but we all need a laugh. Pat might be the only one of us getting out of this alive. I don’t think trump or Putin are interested in Greendale strategically. ​​​​​​
