When Wagon Wheels Were Bigger is a weekly podcast that watches kids' TV from the eighties and casts a more cynical eye on the shows we used to love. Sometimes funny, usually disappointing, join your hosts Mark and Martyn and ruin a small part of your childhood week by week.

Episode 424 - Rambo: The Force of Freedom
We start a trilogy of cartoons based on films that weren't made for children, by watching Rambo: The Force of Freedom, because nothing sells action figures like post-traumatic stress disorder.

Episode 423 - 80s & 90s Vintage Toy Commercials
We watch some more old ads to reminisce about how spoiled we were when we were kids, and look at loads of toys we probably ended up owning because we cried about them.

Episode 422 - 80s & 90s Adverts; Discontinued British Snacks
We watch some old ads to reminisce about chocolate we used to eat and wish we were still eating. Why aren't we eating chocolate right now? To be honest, one of us probably is...

CLASSIC Episode 286 - Babar
Elephants wear clothes and glasses and talk and everyone's just cool with that for some reason apparently. Still, they have a functioning monarchy so best not to ask too many questions or Babar will probably have you beheaded.

CLASSIC Episode 196 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
That's right, we threatened we'd do it, so now sit back and watch everyone's favourite mish-mash of Japanese Super Sentai shows and American teenagers with "attitude." An attitude that's generally pleasant and well-meaning. Edgy.

CLASSIC Episode 193 - Dinner For One
Is there a better way to welcome a new year than by watching a drunken butler trip over a tiger rug? If there is I don't want to hear about it. Because I watched this and I'm already depressed enough.

Customer Reviews
Not Lillicrap
A Gareth Hale tribute act and a bald Louis Theroux discuss growing old, local teachers, grout cleaning, You Tube comments, 90s comedy, failing health, gaviscon and things that happen between a very specific time frame. Oh there’s also a You Tube video getting ignored.
My Review
I am writing a review. It didn't specify it had to be about this podcast so... the Remington smooth & silky battery operated ladyshaver.
Apparently produces perfectly smooth skin, not so, liars. Doesn't shave my skin closely and I am a lady and everything. It's pink because I'm a girl, that's how I know it's for me. Waste your money if you want.
Forever a wheeler
This podcast makes Mondays worth getting up for! Mark and Martyn kick Mondays to bits with their comedy take on nostalgic tv shows and cartoons. Laugh out loud funny, I never miss an episode. They are great guys too but be careful they don’t start drinking your nutrients.
