Never heard of it. When/where is it from?
1990s, UK
Neil!
Edit: and that talking stone head.
My favourite show back in the day!
This is an Art Attack,
Fucking LOVED art attack. Also I wish the rumour that Banksy and Neil Buchanan were the same guy.
Nah, I’m glad it’s not him. Banksy’s stuff always came across as a bit pretentious, whereas Neil’s stuff seems more fun
As soon as I saw the logo the theme song played in my head.
Neil Buchanan was one of the pillars of my childhood. I wish him nothing but good things.
Oh my god, just after posting it has now hit me that the name is a pun on “heart attack”. What a life.
Before Art Attack and on the rival channel was Tony Hart and Heartbeat. Possibly a bit of an in-joke too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartbeat
Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.
Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?
I can hear the theme song already: doodoo doo doo-doo, doodoo doo doo-doo
Never heard of this, but now I’m remembering Pappyland. I don’t recall a thing except a giant pencil
Absolutely loved this show, I watched it religiously in the morning before going to school as a kid. So yeah, I would say pretty formative!
Neil knew ASMR before it was a thing when cutting cardboard with scissors
I loved it, even though we only had the horrendous dub over here lol
Always wanted to make the random paper mâché decorations but wouldn’t’ve hat a spot to put themWow, a blast from the past!
is it still going with Bec Hill?
I never saw Art Attack, but this just reminded me of Mark Kistler’s Imagination Station. I forgot that show existed; thanks for the nostalgia!
