At the beginning of Alexei's quest to explore stuff, we investigate the abject failure of social services to prevent Herod's massacre of the innocents and the bloody reign of Vlad the Impaler, why the BBC is better than you, door-to-door cat boilers, and Freddy Kreuger's tenure as head of the Royal Opera Company, while dancing around in a series of tight suits.

George Bernard Shaw advertises Beauty Miss press-on fingernails, we learn about the animation process that brings Alexei to life, hear of the impact of the National Film Critics' strike, and witness Margaret Thatcher visiting 17th century bubonic plague victims in the TARDIS.
Season 3
1991 • 6 Episodes
Wind past the trailers at the start of the tape for 'Beverley Hills Sponge', 'Things Exploding' and 'Things Exploding II - Everything Explodes' to experience the sadness that is mime, the dangers of badger-watching, and the awfulness of British films.
