This is the only grim tales episode I know word for word, I remember watching this, the frog prince, the boots of buffalo leather, the griffin & king thrushbeard. Rik Mayall is brilliant he is! I’d give anything & everything to have this show come back with someone who’s sure to continue Rik’s legacy & make him proud
My favorite part? The shining reference with the wolf, leading to the chaos as the kids try to hide. "The fifth jumped down the toilet and pretended to be a big poo that wouldn't go away." That sequence always has me in stitches even though it's supposed to be scary.
I listened to this as a child and loved it. And the other night my kids wanted to listen to a story which I'm not good at so I thought of this and put it on ❤ r.i.p rick no one like this anymore
These and the stuff Rik did on Jackanory (George's marvellous medicine) are just as good now as an adult rewatching them with kids, as they were all those years ago watching them as a kid. Thanks for the upload
Rik was excellent in everything he did & Grim Tales was ace, been a fan of his for 25+ years. The news of his death really saddens me dearly, never had the honour of meeting him but have seen him live in Bottom, Bad News & him doing stand up. R.I.P Rik you will be greatly missed by thousands :-(
Cheers for uploading this. This was the first thing I saw him in and now he has sadly passed away it feels appropriate to look these up again. RIP Rik.
My favourite bit was when the mom finds billy up the tree and goes " You get down here at once young man". It makes me laugh and this series is so underated xxx
Just found out Rik Mayall has passed away... Shocking! All the media mention his performances in Blackadder, Bottom, the Statesman, etc. etc. But I also fondly remember his performances in Grim Tales. So thanks for sharing them!
I watched this when I was 5 years old maybe.. and since then I was wondering who and what it was and now finally I found it.. wow I only remembered it was a men with a chair
"just because someone's bigger than you doesn't mean you should let them push you around", well said!

Agreed, because who hasn't had that 'big poo' problem?

I remember watching all these as a little kid. What an amazing story teller this guy is.

R.I.P Rik Mayall. Your legacy will never be forgotten.
Best childrens tv show narrator ever!
And then one particularly sensitive and articulate kid will say,
This was the last of 5 stories that were on my old grim tales vhs and this was my favourite. Who’s noticed that Rik’s goat horns on his head
This is my favourite episode of the series. Loved Rik Mayall’s storytelling in this one in particular.
That sip of nostalgia did me some good.

R.I.P to the best childrens tv broadcaster of the 80s
Thanks TONS for uploading these Grim Tales videos. I've been trying to get them for years without luck because I loved them so much as a kid.
Once Upon a Time, I'm going to Sainsbury's, right,
When he starts doing the wolf's voice, oh god, I love Mayall

I used to love Rik but I couldn’t watch this as the title music and that chair used to freak me out! Lol
I always loved that chair
So so brilliant
You can see his lazy eye really well here.
So this is what Drop Dead Fred did to pay the bills after the movie, lol! RIP Rik!
I get that you're just joking, but this actually predates the film.
Totally forgot about this!!!!!!
Rip our friend Rick
Open the door and lye on a plate!!! ;)) Love Rik

Littlemisscookingstar Cooking lover yea terrible.. absolutely terrifying
Tells kids to be careful nowadays.. sound advice
I've heard of Anthony Horowitz I'm surprised he would write these episodes and indeed these stories in such an amateurish way
