Ten stoopit wee fillums from the twothirteentv archive

Featuring John Bisset & Ivor Kallin
Editing, filming, splicing, original ideas, instruction, vegetables all by Bisset
Nothing to the table courtesy of Kallin except occasional condiments of the chef

1. The Rotary Club
In which the world turns upside down, and this traditional lullaby keeps you awake till Tuesday.

2. Leaves
No reptiles were exploited in the making of this fillum. It was filmed during the great national leaf drought. After filming, we donated the leaves to the NSPCC. They were not amused.

3. Breathe deeply
This classic never pretended to enhance people’s wellbeing, but it’s definitely worth following the advice, because they could be on to something.

4. On the couch
In which Freud comes out second best in this word association session. This film is probably not suitable to people aged 32 to 46, but apparently some 35 year-olds find it profound. Something to do with zeitgeist. Or schadensigmundfreude.

5. Two men one piano
This is modern classical avant-garde music at its absolute nadir. But as a blues, it’s beautiful. As country and western, it’s rather rectangular, it has to be said. There, I’ve said it.

6. Theodor Adoorknob
Fresh from the school of Frankfurters, this coruscating critique of the capitalist beast, is still having an impact amongst the radical Left, but some find its obfuscatory message too nebulous. Idiots.

7. Smoo
Smoo is the 213TV greatest hit, meaning a few people liked it. It took years to find all these doppel gangers and then doppelgangers of the doppelgangers, and the logistics of ferrying them all up to Smoo Cave, near Durness, right up at the top o’ Scotland, a bloody nightmare, I can tell you. Going through passport control was a laugh, though.

8. Santa Fartu
The Xmas special, oft requested by grandchildren and grandparents alike. But I, for one, never quite understood how grandchildren and grandparents are alike

9. I spit on the script
This is pretentious heehaw, whereby the 213 art critiques expose their own frailties, without a by your leave.

10. Jobby
Jobby is what it says on the tin (as Manzoni said). It’s just pure keech, and as such you should embrace it. This is one of the smelliest fillums I’ve had anything to do with. And boy, did some of them stink? Yes.

 Ivor Kallin is a charming wee man from up north. He currently resides in the stinking south. He is held in great regard for his handling of the viola and other instruments, not to mention his vocal stylings. He presents the the Ambrosia Rasputin Show every Sunday lunchtime on Resonance FM, and for this he is profoundly apologetic.
