Name something that you’re definitely not making up, but which no one else ever remembers

I remember a sketch program with Robbie Coltrane that for years I thought was called “laugh, I nearly paid my income tax” which was ungoogleable. Even when I eventually worked out it was called “laugh, I nearly paid my license fee” no one else ever recalled it

What obscure stuff do you recall?

Not quite, in that I have subsequently proved it to be a real tv program, it’s more the “why does no one else remember this” bit

It doesn’t help when your memory is inaccurate, another program will remember clearly is Lame Ducks but for years I thought it was called Ducks and Drakes, and again it was hard to Google to prove it existed until I got the name right

"Name something that you’re definitely not making up, but which no one else ever remembers

I remember a sketch program with Robbie Coltrane that for years I thought was called “laugh, I nearly paid my income tax” which was ungoogleable. Even when I eventually worked out it was called “laugh, I nearly paid my license fee” no one else ever recalled it

What obscure stuff do you recall?"

"Years ago their was a program with loads of big comedian names, dawn french Jennifer Saunders, ade emondson Rick mayal Hugh laurie and Steven fry .It took me ages to find out it was called happy families but no one I know seems to remember it .

I do ! It was hilarious. "

I remember it.

I also happen to know that the only reason Red Dwarf happened (or that it got renewed after its first series cant totally recall which) was because the bbc had scheduled a 2nd series of happy families on BBC 2 but the writers and cast only ever wanted to do one series, which left a gap in the programing schedule and they had to find a ready set of scripts to go to fill it up.

So there's a bot of obscure trivia about happy families.

"I once watched a film called "I bought a vampire motorbike" that had Neil Morrissey in it. It was that bad it was hilarious.

I've never met another person that has seen it, and I'm positive it wasn't just a dream or hallucination "

I feel like I need to watch this, for reasons
