Bah, I've only just noticed that Chapter 2 of this is slightly out of sync, which is incredibly annoying and I'm not actually sure what's happened there so... Soz.
No worries mate. I forgot how mindless this was. Love 'Build Yourself a Word', and of course 'Magic, Magic E'. Seriously, you are doing some admirable work to make this dross entertaining. As always, Funny as Funk 😅
Preface - great video and I love your work. This is pure nightmare fuel for me though. Takes me right back to the grim 80s and miners strike for some reason (must have been watching it at the same time I guess?). Chain smoking neighbours constantly talking about Scargil etc. For some reason I feel sick to the pits of my stomach with this one. I think this is the only video I have ever seen that has triggered me in some way. I have liked and am already subscribed. Keep up the good work. But god damn, this video sent me some place. Think I’ll go play treasure island dizzy for a while.
The biggest disappointment that came to me as a kid was when the Travel Sweet Tins had needles and thread instead of those powdery boiled pieces of goodness. What I never understood was my nan never ate sweets so where did they go?
Not gunna lie, that "Magic E's" song went HARD, synched SO well with the animation They must've known the connotations that "Magi E's" has in relation to drug culture and stealthily sneaked it in there!
@@jonathananderson9769 haha, fortunately we had RTS' commentary to entertain. Dread to think the emotional stress he had to do to get through all these episodes and edit it all together!
Ah,,,I'm so glad my year at school was just too old to have to sit through this one. I think we had the best of Look & Read: The Boy From Space, Dark Towers, Badger Girl and Fairground.
Is this one of those things that they'd show the class one time every week except we didn't have enough time to watch the entire thing before we're supposed to learn about the next thing, so my child mind was eternally irritated and left wondering how the story ends for the rest of the entire school year?
Random fact where spuggy lives. He lives in the Byker Wall and although a massive eyesore is a listed building. The lovely red door in that brilliant red is actually a colour only painted for the Byker wall. Yup even the Byker wall has its own listed paint and can only be maintained in that certain shade. Yeah told you it was random.
Legitimately love these educational recaps. It reminds me of the big black tvs being wheeled into the classroom and the buzz of excitement from classmates. If I was sitting on a tiny green plastic chair I’d be right back there! Thank you, so very funny and such a blast from the past! I’ll pray for your sanity!
I love the escalation of the thieves' crimes... precious jewels... priceless artworks... the contents of the tills at a parochial Northern rec centre. Truly the heist of the century. Just think how many 10p bottles of luridly-coloured Panda Pop that place must sell of a weekend. I genuinely loved this when I was a kid, even though I grew up in East Anglia and could probably only understand about one in three words that came out of Spuggie's mouth.
Wasn't the rec centre where everyone went to pay their entry fees to be in the Great North Run? In the bizarre world of Geordie Racer, it would make perfect sense for the race organisers to leave massive bundles of cash lying around completely unattended during the race.
I remember that mr wordsworth character. That series looked dire, well done for watching it all. I recognised the dad, he was one of the blokes in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.
When I was a kid, once a week someone would have to run across school and wheel back "THE TELLY" so we could spend a whole lesson watching Geordie Racer... BLISS!!! (and teachers complain they aren't paid enough...)
Haha yeah, hey 'member THE PHONE? (also the local pub and doctor etc) - those were the days (as long as you weren't getting diddled by a TV star of course)!
@@RoseTintedSpectrum Dark Towers first, please boss! There’s a genuine plot in that one and - I think - Christopher Biggins as a hard man villain. That can’t be right, surely?
Does anyone else remember the safety videos we had to watch, one particular terrifying safety video i remember was "Never rest in peace" a farm safety video involving kids losing limbs and drowning and the ghost of a dead farmer accused of murdering children. Scared the life out of me and my classmates
Well that brought me back to being ushered into the staff room with the rest of the class to watch the big TV hid behind two doors. Dark Towers and Badger Girl next.
I really hated this show as a child, and back then I was full of joy, whimsy and wonder. Now i'm a grumpy old man and I can say child me was right to hate this. Thanks for reminding me.
Started this thinking it was something I had never seen before. Until that red robot popped up and then I was smacked by a memory overload! It always reminded me of the Henry Vacuum Cleaner as a kid.
I've spent over 35 years until now not knowing whether I actually watched this in school or just saw something on TV at home and then made the rest up in my head, as even now I'm not sure if it's all the same show. I can't believe I even remembered the real name of the show and things like the magic e song.😮
Ah... memories. Every week down to the library and the primary teacher would roll out the TV and we'd watch this. It actually created a mandella effect for me when Ant got blinded in Byker Grove. I could've sworn he said "Spuggy I cannae see mon"
I saw this at school too 😂😂 our teacher bought in a stottie for us to try omg memories...but also your commentary got me crying with laughter... brilliant 🤣
I don't remember this show, thankfully, but hate-watched 'Beeker Grurve' for a while as a kid, also with a character called Spuggy, and debuting Ant and Deck, the moss piglets of broadcast television... stick yer license lol :D
Finally got around to watching all this in one go. So many boring school memories coming back. I wonder now why the class got so excited when the big TV & VHS player got wheeled in. Still had a laugh thanks to you mate.👍
Bloody hell , this brings back memories. I remember magic E and wordy. I'm sure after the episode, we had to answer questions on a sheet about the show. So much of this show now looks well dodgy and that's not including the DJ. Epic commentary as always. Glad your back with us RTS!
I have a distinct memory of pissing against a tree in the late 80s and singing "weeeee magic e". I studied French for 9 years and remember nothing, the power of a catchy song
As a person of Geordie descent, Geordie Racer is very similar to my parent's childhood stories. The greatest discrepancy is the lack of casual violence, swearing and cigarette smoking, while eating stotties by a bin.
It's pretty much accurate. I grew up as the soft southern cousin who could barely understand his own relatives at Christmas. Go 20mi north of Newcastle and it's almost entirely unintelligible. As in they use entirely different words.
@RoseTintedSpectrum Seems Gorwen's power to incessantly shout peoples names over and over again has the power to transcend time, space and even dimensions!
i watched a few episodes of this at school , but due to the amount of twagging i did i never did figure out if spuggy was a lad , a lass, some sort of strange sort of sexless clone. The magic E certainly had its time in the 90s
When I was little, all I knew of geordies was the comic strip in the Dandy: 'The Jocks and The Geordies'. Thanks to their school uniforms and plummy dialogue, I assumed a 'geordie' was a posh, english public school boy, compared to the scottish underclass represented by the jocks. Then I watched Geordie Racer on the school's big TV, and I thank it for enlightening me - they were _all_ grubby plebs. 32:20 I don't know exactly why, but that sound effect made me laugh until I almost choked. 😂
Missed out on Geordie Racer when I was at school; my lot were subjected to Badger Girl instead. Pretty sure it still had the same sodding songs in, though!
I think the dad in this was the manager in Jossy’s Giants. That would be a fun one to make a video about and Byker Grove. My grandparents lived next door to “Fraser” from Byker Grove in Chester-le-Street in the late 90s 🤣
Oh how I prayed for those Thursday mornings in 1988 in the West Midlands when we would go into the "AV" room in primary school, (essentially a dark closet with a TV on wheels and tiered seating which I'm almost definitely misremembering as stacked up tables with a bit of carpet for us to sit on) and watch Geordie Racer just to get out of the grim and grey 80s mind (and body) prison that was education 😂 Who were these strange people from this far off land? Why did they speak like that? Could man and beast be so connected as to solve crime? What the FK was a stottie? What the FK was on the TOP of a stottie!? Why was that old wizard still trying to peddle drugs to brummies? Hadn't we all said a big resounding yes to the letter H?? 😂 Seriously it's mental and hilariously brilliant that you've done this 😂❤
I did the Great North Run last year, with torrential rain in the final mile. Dunno who suffered more, me doing that, or you battling through this for our benefit 😂 Oh, and bonus points for “jazz mags”
Yeah, I'm Cumbrian so I know the term Spuggy but I don't quite get why they call HIM Spuggy. He loves pigeons. It'd be like calling a runner "Hurdle boy"
Lol, if I wasn't freaked out enough just by the fact that....I'm watching Geordie Racer. I spotted mi mum's brown, seventies cup n saucer set, fuck me. 7:57. Every bleeder had them, aahhhh... working class plates.
Bah, I've only just noticed that Chapter 2 of this is slightly out of sync, which is incredibly annoying and I'm not actually sure what's happened there so... Soz.

Teaching kids about magic e's when the 90s where just around the corner
The memories of a bloomin freezing tv room at school, a massive box of a TV on a stand with a noisy VCR and a teacher who had no idea how to work it.
Also the TV speakers would go all funny if it went too loud
100% the same memory unlocked mate thanks 😂😂
lol yeah, and those minute-long countdowns before school tv programmes, talk about hyping it up :D
And the teacher would for ever stop the tape to ask bloody stupid questions
@@TheRealBigDan why did we have to sit on the floor too?
0:35 You just know it's fiction, because those biscuit tins contain nothing but sewing equipment.
😂😂😂
The biggest disappointment that came to me as a kid was when the Travel Sweet Tins had needles and thread instead of those powdery boiled pieces of goodness. What I never understood was my nan never ate sweets so where did they go?
We had a magic E wizard at school. He used to hang round the back of the bike sheds with the smokers, in prison now.
Honestly as a school kids aged 6 or 7 getting a tv show set in your home city of Newcastle was mind blowing
ooh Biker.
Not gunna lie, that "Magic E's" song went HARD, synched SO well with the animation
They must've known the connotations that "Magi E's" has in relation to drug culture and stealthily sneaked it in there!
This unlocked some deeply buried childhood memories of extreme boredom.
Childhood trauma you mean.
The false hope that the TV trolley came out and you didn't have to sit through assembly or maths, and then this comes on.
I even got bored watching this video!
@@jonathananderson9769 haha, fortunately we had RTS' commentary to entertain. Dread to think the emotional stress he had to do to get through all these episodes and edit it all together!
True - I got to the start of episode 8 and had to stop too much Geordie R*pist on Magic e for me
Mate through the Dragons eye now Geordie racer. I am forever in your debt. Pure class
@dominicpayne4393 wait... there's a dragons eye?!
My girlfriends dad is a Geordie, anything newcastle related I can get her to watch. It's time boys, rosetinted date night 😂.
She's loving it 👍🏼
Ah, TH-cam suggested something worth watching as last, maybe my friday night is saved after all...
Same, mate. 👍
Great to see you back mate after the youtube purge. Think you should celebrate by having a massive stottie man
