Fantastic Magic - The little Imp.

Sat, 08 Jan 2022 23:31:50 GMT

Wee Willy the imp was a Silly Billy ickle soul. Scared of how own reflection, he was our early warning system - until he got impudent! This episode is a very gentle tale of running like the clappers. Quiet clappers. Something like that.

 

Epic (past) Future Fails - Kadunk, the greatest unknown inventor.

Thu, 06 Jan 2022 21:28:37 GMT

Fanar, who earned the nickname Kadunk, was a wheel engineer. Wheels, before what we know them as, were treacherous, bumpy and accident prone. Or maybe that was just Kadunk...

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - Bob discovers a whole new world! And learns about dung... Throwing dung...

Sun, 18 Jul 2021 20:23:49 GMT

Euplo Bob the curious Euplocephalus discovers more than he can imagine in one massive adventure. A strange new world awaits. He can barely contain himself - in fact he let's one out. Two, if you count the one he launched...

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - Bob questions why his family are so.. so... Themselves.

Thu, 03 Jun 2021 21:01:45 GMT

Euplo Bob is a curious dino: In this episode he asks how his family became good at the things they do so well. They seem to like talking about what they're good at: Bob learns from them. In between clonks... Warning: 3 annoying ding-dongs at beginning of the story, and some minor bean-bag scrunching.

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - enjoys a calm family day. He thinks big, and munches tons

Thu, 04 Feb 2021 20:24:38 GMT

Bob the Euplocephalus is a curious creature. In this episode he takes time out from adventures and just waddles along with family. We get an insight into how the Euplocephalii operate as a herd, and how Bob fits in. Where do they go? What's Euplo fun? What's good to eat? Let's find out!

 

Superhero Fam - Amazing Alex Thwarts Evil Further Afield (Than The Sweetshop)

Thu, 07 Jan 2021 21:23:11 GMT

Alex is a hero. That's what he always says. He's got the T-shirt. He designed it himself! And he has a faithful but totally ordinary sidekick, who doesn't even have a superhero nickname: his sister Charlotte. He is Amazing Alex, and she is just "Charlie", but he puts up with her, tells her how to do it properly, and leads her into adventures. He really is amazing...

 

Epic Future Fails - humble Mechadillos try and try. They fail. Big time.

Wed, 16 Dec 2020 21:12:54 GMT

AI comes in many forms and how bad can it be to ask to help others? Is it a pure form of intelligence to aim for co-operation and peace, or is there something odd about being single-minded, selfless or zealous which plays badly in the real world? These are the questions the special peacenik mech AI group that tried to buddy the whole universe should have asked. Even after their first, quite grand and impressive fails, no such thought seems to have occured to them. Call yourselves intelligent? AI my... Oh my.

 

Fantastic Magic - talking to a tree spirit (called Gerald).

Sun, 06 Dec 2020 21:13:05 GMT

A particularly gentle and calm episode about meeting a giant ancient tree called dryrahdyrhh. Gerald is a decent translation into English. Gerald lives in deep, dark magical forest hidden somehow inside a small copse, in its own glade at the centre, but he is not the only one around. His main concern is (human) encroachments, but explaining that to others may be a bit of an art...

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - puts to bed a cave shimmy conspiracy.

Sat, 05 Dec 2020 22:13:31 GMT

Bob the Euplocephalus is concerned that caves wiggle when he isn't paying attention. He is very careful not to thagomise anything *too much* so it can't be him. Trees move! Water moves! Rocks slide! Do caves jiggle when your back is turned? He sneaks up on one to catch it unawares and discover how it acts when it thinks it is alone.

 

Epic (past) Future Fails - terrific historic steam engines.

Fri, 04 Dec 2020 22:22:51 GMT

Richard Trevithick was an inventor so bubbley and hardworking that it was worth booking a slot in a time machine to meet him. It was glorious! Mistakes were made though... Lessons will be learned.

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - tries to think hard! He makes a discovery...

Thu, 03 Dec 2020 20:57:08 GMT

Bob the Euplocephalus has met many strange creatures of the late Cretaceous era, and one, Peter the Sauropelta, got Bob's goat! Not literally, they are both herbivores. Peter seemed too clever by far to Bob, whose thoughts run like mud through a marshy brain. So Bob spends a day of discovery, before a cracking Eureka moment!

 

Fantastic magic - smitten with a fiery sprite I embarrassed for fun: Until she got me back!

Wed, 02 Dec 2020 22:02:57 GMT

This is a particularly gentle, and slightly soppy, fantastic magic episode because it involves blowing kisses, but only after using a magic portal ring. Not the best use of a portal, but it seemed amusing at the time. Older and wiser, these are still fond memories, and promises made to solve the issue are magically binding forever.

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - follows the music and gets shown home by a saviour Sauropelta

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 21:37:10 GMT

Euplo Bob avoids hurting himself on anything solid or slippery, but still manages to get lost. He hears the sweet music of foghorn trumpets, which lead him astray. In his time of need he comes across a most curious similar creature, who seems to know what to do... Thank goodness!

 

Fantastic magic - killer ninja fairy fortunately fails

Sun, 29 Nov 2020 20:29:37 GMT

As we all know, magic is real but several of the textbooks get it slightly wrong. Turns out that fairies are merciless mercenaries with a thing for bling. Fortunately, they can be thwarted, at the cost of mild embarrassment. If you know the right people, that is.

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - Hill slides and rock bottom. Bob explores why rocks roll & why they stop.

Sat, 28 Nov 2020 20:50:14 GMT

Bob the Euplocephalus is a curious creature who takes pride in fact finding missions. Dumb struck by a rock slide, he wants to give it a go himself. Curiosity leads him to discover more about his world, but every answer he finds leads to new questions!

 

Epic Future Fails - Dimblewits of the Xenophobe Affiliate

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 22:06:44 GMT

Advanced multi-species of planetoid Dim-Ba-Le-Dhume take a measured approach to alien encounters. They try repeatedly for a century. In this episode we hear about the second, final recording of their council in which a decision is made regarding alien life, and how the aptly named Xenophobe Affiliate (or Dhume Affiliate) might deal with what they find. It's a decision of epic proportions.

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - A river encounter with a playful crododile in the river.

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 21:21:20 GMT

Bob is being curious. Again. In this episode he meets a sharp-toothed but small and intesting crocodillian while investigating how the water flows downstream. Bob the Euplocephalus is beginning to piece together valuable information on inter-species communication, but its not the best of starts...

 

Curious Dino, Euplo Bob - He meets a headstrong but exotic new creature on the plains.

Sun, 22 Nov 2020 22:21:18 GMT

Bob the Euplocephalus cannot tear himself away from a local pack of Pachycephelasaurs. Understandably, they butt heads a bit. Bob may be small for his breed, but he seems determined to find out more, if only he would keep getting knocked unconscious...

 

Epic Future Fails - the interstellar aliens we call Jeff's Farts, a lovely but odd species.

Sat, 21 Nov 2020 22:43:33 GMT

This is the first of a set of bednight stories, in this case about a peaceful, if somewhat misguided group of interstellar travellers with an unpronounceable name we have come to know fondly as Jeff's Farts. Admittedly, this story may not be perfectly accurate describing quasars, they are the result not the initial setup... Its a schoolboy error, sorry!

 

Shall we begin?

Fri, 20 Nov 2020 22:43:33 GMT

So my name is Daddy, and this is our trailer. Hope we don't fluff it up - we might run out of time! Maybe it will come good at the last moment, like a thrilling story arc should... Or not! Who knows? It might just play with the genre...
