Ah, the old lenseless glasses.  As any avid Monkees fan of half a life span will tell you - and i'm about to - they're used extensively in filming mainly due to the glare from the lights.  Everyone who wore a pair of glasses in a Monkees episode wore the lenseless variety - it became a standing joke after a while!!!!!!!

Ah, the one-piece suit. I love it. 'Kitten Kong' was the first episode I saw and, although I knew it was my cuppa, that suit was the epiphany. I want one.

I have a question, and it's probably very silly, but here goes. I can't think of specific examples, but I have noticed that sometimes it looks like Graeme's glasses don't have lenses in them. Has anyone else noticed too? Perhaps it was for stunts or because they reflected the studio lights too much, I don't know, but I'm bamboozled. Anyone else think the same, or am I being a loony? 

Jess.

Having just looked at their website, that really worries me

Sorry - I thought The Wiggles were well-known all over the world. They're children's entertainers. Here's their website: www.thewiggles.com.au

Ah right, thanks! 
Of course, you do realise that I now have to ask - who or what are The Wiggles?

That's true.  But I don't own a single item of brown clothing... Am I missing out on something?

'Scuse my ignorance, but what is a skivvy?  Here, in Scotland, that means a slave or something.  And I really hope you didn't buy a slave, accidentally or otherwise

jodievdw : ' One-piece suit.  Discuss.  And keep it clean.

It would be rather cool if you could somehow arrange all your outfits so that they were one-piece suits.  I suppose problems would arise if you wanted to do a bit of mix-and-matching.  And didn't Graeme say in the DVD commentary that it was quite difficult to get on?  But most of us don't get dressed in front of a live audience, so I suppose it wouldn't matter how much trouble you got into getting it on.  It's worth thinking about for the future, I reckon. 

(Notice how I kept this oh-so-clean and didn't mention Graeme's trousers once...) (Except then.) (Oops.)
