For mash get Smash!
Thanks to Howard for the trip down memory lane on his own blog today, with a Sesame Street clip featuring the Martians. Does anyone else remember them? Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip, that’s right – those Martians! It’s as hilarious today watching them trying to communicate with a telephone as it was when I was a nipper. I was inspired after much laughter to go digging on YouTube for another, very different, set of Martians. And I found them. Enjoy!

The anaesthetic power of TV
It’s official – watching television can numb you. Italian researchers have discovered watching TV ‘may act as a natural painkiller for children’. What’s natural about that?
Mothers were no match when it came to comforting their children while blood samples were taken. Not only did watching television reduce levels of pain but it also improved children’s tolerance of the pain they did register.
