I can confirm this with the Bananas in Pajamas (book AND CD), where Rat in a Hat stole the teddies moon rock, and it was made of yellow cheese. Can't confirm the type of yellow cheese, but it was yummy apparently.

It was an ITV tonight show. The carpet fitter and wife were in Adelaide. I have it on Sky + but have not watched it all yet. I did see the end though where the electrician and his wife were coming back to the UK because of a lack of work.

I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000.

Which is why I work on a laptop in the bed, cos the bastards won't pay me $10,000

No lapdancer jokes please. I said 'laptop'. And she didn't even take her pants off...

oh hang on

Well, what are you waiting for? Go & watch it now & report back!

Honestly, members are getting very slack these days!

Watching it now.

You can watch it on ITV Player
