Then a week later (22 July), a new Saturday morning show called The POD began to broadcast on both the CBBC Channel and BBC Two.

Mighty Truck of Stuff cast, particularly Reggie, frequently make references to entertain older viewers.

An actress playing Pablo's mother (Nuria Benet) appeared in one episode, making highly suggestive moves towards Reggie.

In typical MTOS fashion, Reggie would be amazed at the demands of the Commissioner, before moving on to chat about cookery or pubs.

The cartoon was introduced, and when it had finished, the number of blue shoes was compared against the amount of stew that another unidentified tattooed man had consumed.

For these games, the audience of children was oblivious to the bizarre humour, but it provided entertainment for older viewers.
