Yummy Mummy: Series 1, episode 1

Whilst the, ahem, ‘masterminds’ behind Yummy Mummy plot their next move in a top secret bunker somewhere, we thought now might be a good time to re-open the files on the original and rather different Yummy Mummy School Run series from 2008.  And so, here it is- the very first episode. How different it all was then, back in the days when they genuinely were trying to make a bona-fide children’s programme rather than just using the premise as an excuse to be silly.  Thomas Weaver-Baxter has only a single line (and a very different voice with which to speak it) and the whole thing has a decidedly wonky feel around the edges. Still, when has that ever stopped Resonance? Plus there’s a visit from those lovely folks at the Puppet State Theatre Company (www.puppetstate.org), a mass tidying spree with a little help from the Barcelona Pavilion and an amusing attempt at multiplication using farmyard animals. By which, of course, I mean an exercise in elementary mathematics. All the close-to-the-wind stuff came later…

Hooting Yard: Organised Fern Hunt

Hunting animals is the sport of fools. Nearly all animals run away when pursued. Ferns, on the other hand, stay right where they are, so you can go crashing through thickets with much gusto, a determined jut to the jaw, every so often emitting cries of panic or revelation, or both, all the while safe in the knowledge that your quarry is not dashing away over the fields, vanishing over the horizon, leaving you and your band of fellow adventurers exhausted and stupid and empty-handed.

This episode was recorded on the 10th June 2010. A complete transcript of this episode can be found on Frank Key’s Hooting Yard website. Accompanying Hooting Yard On The Air, the five publications We Were Puny, They Were Vapid, Gravitas, Punctilio, Rectitude & Pippy Bags, Unspeakable Desolation Pouring Down From The Stars, Befuddled By Cormorants and Inpugned By A Peasant And Other Stories are available for purchase
