19 classic TV annuals that are so bad, they’re good

The 1982 BJ and the Bear annual. This is the authorised edition and I strongly advise you NOT to Google the words "bear" and "bj" if you are on a work computer. pic.twitter.com/cTP6W3wY0y

The 1983 "CHiPs" annual. The cover artist has of course never seen Erik Estrada before. Or a car accident. pic.twitter.com/OkqGCiV9mw

The Bill 1989 annual. Kids love a police procedural. Love it they do!
My rule of thumb for buying Bill annuals is simple: no Tosh, no dosh. D.I. Burnside is a poor replacement… pic.twitter.com/PBO7dG4nNJ

The 1983 Manimal annual. No child ever asked for this. No child ever recieved it. It was all just a fever dream caused by too much cough syrup… pic.twitter.com/OdZy9siFuN

The 1986 Dempsey and Makepeace annual. What can I say, it was better than C.A.T.S. Eyes! pic.twitter.com/qXLBF6uFfX

The 1979 Dick Barton Special Agent annual. This Southern Television remake – now available on @TalkingPicsTV – also inspired an excellent Ska song by The Hot Knives*: see what you think: https://t.co/mNKtpVaoVQ

And a final thought.

I could go on, but I think you get the gist – TV companies were mugging us off with rotten rubbish! This Christmas remember: it's the thought that counts, but the present matters too.
