DRINK!!!!

reply

series 8 and 9

the comic got better as zzzap went on with the exception of series 10

reply

maybe the series 10 thing was to tell us it ending

the comic has exploded so no more zzzap

DRINK!!!!

reply

yeah

if zzzap was still on, what do you think it will be like?

reply

all the characters would look old

DRINK!!!!

reply

more crazy music and would've changed it

reply

well if it was still going daisy would look silly she could be in her 30's now

DRINK!!!!

reply

different actor for daisy and cuthbert and neil buchanan for handymen

reply

nah wouldn't be the same

DRINK!!!!

reply

yeah but thats what i'd predict

reply

the boy would let his kids have the remote LOL

DRINK!!!!

reply

Tricky would b 2 old to run about

reply

a new character will be introduced to replace daisy - the danicng queen

she challenges the kids to dance with her and the one who gets tried first loses

maybe it could be a magic wand that bursts through the screen

DRINK!!!!

reply

the characters squares explode instead of the explosion

reply

or the characters jump through the screen

DRINK!!!!

reply

maybe we could have the best luved remote back lol

next topic: fave zzzap series 9 ep

reply

i dunno which one actually

DRINK!!!!

reply

me neither, how about s10?

reply

dunno again

DRINK!!!!

reply

errr......... well........um.......

reply

i like them all the same

reply

yea any ideas y they didnt replace Cuthbert? (not that i wanted them 2)

reply

maybe he was the most popular by the public and/or the producers

reply

yea think about it. he got the most sketches on the videos (if u count them all on each) he got his own series (Cuthbert's Diary) if he had gone instead of Arty it would'nt have lasted as long as it did

reply

yeah, it must've been that popular and richard waites must've loved playing him which is why he probably ditched tricky instead of cuthbert

reply

Could it be possible that Cuthbert and Tricky were to phisical 2 take on at once bcuz they both do an lot of running about

reply

yeah but the question is why did they ditch tricky first not cuthbert?

reply

i guess they wanted a girl in the show r they couldn't think of of any more impossible challenges

reply

[deleted]

i no but i mean really tough ones

reply

lots of possibilities

reply

[deleted]

reply

Which Actor r actress would u like 2 meet

Richard Waites 4 me

reply

[deleted]

ok which zzzap! characters would make a good Dr Who and Companion

reply

[deleted]

sorry running out of ideas

reply

[deleted]

well i'll tell u 1 thing CITV is not the sme with out ZZZAP!

reply

if you were a makeup artist, how would you dress up one of the characters?

reply

lol MAD question

decorate tricky's hat with flowers,LOL

Fancy a pint?

reply

If they did a zzzap christmas annual with tricky dicky what do you think tricky's challenge would be?

perhaps decorate a christmas tree in 2 minutes?

Anyone fancy a pint?

reply

wat they really should have done is get all 6 characters 2gether 4 a big finale

reply

Thats a good idea then maybe all of them sing a song in there own zzzap language!

"I'm spasticus autisticus!"-Ian Dury

reply

they use like camera tricks so Cuthbert and Tricky can b in the same scene or just get another guy

reply

Another guy i guess. Because they could record the soundtrack over it.



THE SPARTANS ARE HERE. LONG LIVE THE BARBIES

reply

It's possible but with editing in the 90's and 2000's it could of been richard in both places.

you don't usually see tricky and cuthbert at the same time though on the comic

when it's cuthbert turn tricky's there but cuthbert isn't

when it's smart arty's turn you see cuthbert but only see tricky for a split second

when it's the handymens turn you see cuthbert and only a glimpse of tricky's hat

when it's tricky's turn tricky's not there but cuthbert is!

errrm ..... was the Tricky gunge sketch from episode 7 of series 1?

I have no clue wether most of the episodes are in the correct order but we'll have to hope.

Keshi Heads!

reply

Does anyone have a contact for The Media Merchants? I thought they closed down?

''I usually remember faces, but this time im going to have to make a BIG exception!''

we need a new zzzap website.one as good as zzzapland

Keshi Heads!

reply

I was thinking that today you know, how spooky!
I could make one like www.ZZZap.net.tc :S

''I usually remember faces, but this time im going to have to make a BIG exception!''

reply

i've been thinking of making a super duper one where when you click the next page the remote bursts through and zzzaps and then your on the next page

Keshi Heads!

reply

that would be sooo cooooooooool man

reply

yeah, you'd have to use macromedia flash or something though to do that

reply

be fun though

maybe you could have a pic of the zzzap comic and when you click on a square a video plays

Keshi Heads!

reply

like when you click Cuthbert's square his sketch plays

reply

yep

Keshi Heads!

reply

We could probably do that, but someone needs good html knowledge

''I usually remember faces, but this time im going to have to make a BIG exception!''

reply

I have good HTML knowledge!

reply

yes but your always busy Ryan!

Keshi Heads!

reply

Thats very true! Damn you Ryan! xD
I think it was Slaphead Media who did the ZZZap! Myspace accounts so maybe we could get him to help possibly?

''I usually remember faces, but this time im going to have to make a BIG exception!''

reply

He left the IMDB boards when it went boring and we haven't had a single post since.

he was also slightly mad when he used to post stuff like "MERRY XMAS HA HA HA I'M DRUNK!"

Keshi Heads!

reply

maybe some zzzap games would be good as well

Keshi Heads!

reply

Does anyone think the clown square could have been used as a joke page?

Keshi Heads!

reply

[deleted]

The leg could have been "guess what shoes are these?"

Keshi Heads!

reply

The studio for where the zzzap comic was must've been massive cause in series 2-7 the camera is quite far away from the comic during the credits and the studio must've been big!

Keshi Heads!

reply

does anyone think Neil buchanan may have designed the zzzap comic originally?

Keshi Heads!

reply

This threads been going on now for over a year and we are still far away from the 200 mark.

Keshi Heads!

reply

an annual is a book for each year so it would be 'The zzzap annual 2009'
