Who gives a crap about the story, I can't stop looking at how Gorgeous Rik Mayall's looking in this...and his accent is adorable. He was certainly in his prime in the late 80's.
I can easily imagine Rik in his alternate life as a local primary school teacher, telling these silly stories at the end of every week to little kids and making them laugh 💖💖
Whoa...that scene with the fly seems like something right out of Monty Python...with a touch of Tim Burton in the mix. Thanks for sharing this trippy but remarkable little series :)
Rik "I know what you're thinking, 'oh, it's Rik, I hope he's going to tell me a story that's got lots of porridge in it!'" Me "Yes! Exactly! How did you know?!" 😮
I recently remembered this story from my youth and realized I had never had porridge before. So I went out and bought some and now I absolutely love it.
i say old chap? yes old chap? whats that then? well it would be ... oh its just a tidal wave of porridge? oh .... what, a tidal wave of porridge?! LOL it gets me every time i watch this xxx
I watch these Grim Tales videos before I go to bed for school tomorrow. I'm a freshman in high school. Rik's narration just soothes me for some reason xD
Katie Fraser The Ladybird book was an adaptation of the same older text that inspires this - the rest in the series are other stories by the same famous German authors, who also inspired the series name.. the Brothers Grimm.
finally, a story that satisfies my want for a story with lots of porridge
this is brilliant! who knew? who knew rik could pull off this sort of thing? hes an awesome storyteller!

These shows are what made me love Rik! How can he be gone?

Rik I would love to hear a story about porridge from you, or any story. I miss you.

I love when he snorts!
Bahaha! (snort)!
I love Grim Tales, but that stop-motion fly continues to give me the creeps...
Also, tidal wave of porridge. SPLAT!
lmfao omg i used to LOVE grim tales!! amazing. whoever put these up a pat on the back for you.
Usually the child is the one who causes the trouble in the story lol always good to see adults get it in the neck as well lol.
Thankyou SOOO much for posting this... This was my favourite show as a kid.
You know, you're so right - Monty Python and Tim Burton. Wish I'd thought of that!
Hilarious! I used to adore Grim Tales still do and this episode is brilliant!
I kind of fancy some porridge now.
I almost feel as if Drop Dead Fred could be telling these stories...

my hero.
1:05 "Rik! You're on!"

Hes the uncle of the nation,mind you.

You'll never hear a story with much more porridge? Only if you read The Magic Porridge Pot by Ladybird which Grim Tales has stolen!!!!!!!!!! Ha! Ha!!!
