Wheely Big Cheese flipping Axe-Awe out of the arena is one of the defining TV moments of my childhood. This show is legendary and there has been nothing like it on TV since.
It's not /sp/ at all, but it's fantastic and /sp/ posters are far more entertaining when they watch it than the foot fetishists and paedophiles of /tv/, so I look forward to its return and threads appearing on /sp/ anyway.
