Remembering Round The Twist 12 Years On
It might amaze you (or not) to learn that this very day back in 2001 (which doesn't actually feel too long ago but it's a huge 12 years ago now...eeep) saw the last ever episode of one of our all time favourite TV shows Round The Twist.
This certainly wasn't your average show, my memories of this retro icon that first aired in 1989 are...of course the lighthouse, VERY weird goings on that seemed pretty typical for the place, and above all else...THAT THEME TUNE!
As soon as this classic tune started, you knew you were in for a treat, pretty much anything could happen in the next 25 minutes and it usually did. I seem to recall one episode where someone turned into a giant bird? Just me? Fancy getting this song stuck in your head all day again?? Listen below

Only four series of this wacky show were made despite the show having an 11-year run. The first two series were based on fantasy stories written by author Paul Jennings, the latter two were based on a variety of authors' work. There were a fair few different editions of this show with a second series, with many roles re-cast made in 1992, a third series, again re-cast, was made in 2000, followed by a fourth (with some roles again re-cast) in 2000!
It followed the bizarre lives of the Twist family. Tony Twist (aka Dad) and his three children....the twins, Pete and Linda, and youngest son, Bronson who move from the city to the sea-side village of Port Niranda. They move into an old lighthouse, previously owned by their new neighbour, Nell, and their new lives begin. Strange things happen to the Twist family, strange but hilarious things.
Sheldon's Wardrobe - A TruffleShuffle Showroom!
The Big Bang Theory has become something of a cult TV Show over the past couple of years. If by some miracle you have never seen the hit US sitcom, it is now in its 5 season with over 110 episodes being broadcast onto our screens. Pretty amazing huh! The show is centered around the lives of two physicists Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper along with best friends Howard Wolowitz and Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's (The girl who lives in the flat across the hall) social skills and common sense.
The standout character in the show is without a doubt Sheldon Cooper. Played by actor Jim Parsons, Sheldon lacks any normal social skills and fails to understand irony and sarcasm, this leads to many hilarious encounters during the show. Throughout the show Sheldon can be seen wearing a wide array of retro inspired t-shirts, many of which are now available on our site. This is our guide to Sheldon T-Shirts:
Sheldon can be spotted in his Green Lantern T-Shirt on several occasions.
This simple design featuring the Green Lantern logo is likely to go down well with comic books fans and super hero fans such as Sheldon.
