Always fooling around
When we were young
Time flies so fast
When you're having fun
Don't wanna get old
I never wanna grow up.
What were Furbies all about?
They were crazy!
No, no, I don't think
I remember the Macarena.
Oh, I remember it! The Macarena!
It was crazy!
The 1990s were a time of great
seismic political shifts.
The tinderbox that was
the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait,
the complexity
of the Balkan conflict and
Sorry?
Oh. Oh, yes, I see.
Shell suits.
What was going on there?
They were crazy!
Imagine being alive in the 1990s.
It must have been incredible.
Oh, God, why are we remembering
Global Hypercolor T-shirts?
Yeah! Why remember something
when it never went
out of style in the first place?
The only thing these shows
make me nostalgic for
is the days
that they made decent telly.
It makes it seem like we spent ten
years listening to Cotton Eye Joe.
I mean, why would anyone want to
remember? Oh, my God! Pogs!
Pogs? Oh, man, the playground craze
that took the '90s by storm!
Do you know, I still have
my prize folder of original Pogs.
Is it next to your prize certificate
for being an original loser?
What's the point in hanging on to a
load of useless cardboard circles?
Despite being dismissed by many
as useless cardboard circles,
they are now collectors' items
and can sell for thousands of pounds.
Thousands of pounds?!
Oh, my God! Apparently, a complete
collection of mint condition Pogs
sold recently for £500,000.
Just think what we could buy
with £500,000!
You could buy a complete collection
of mint condition Pogs!
Well, you won't find mintier than
these. Never been played with.
I always knew there were benefits
to being ***.
Don't even bother, Ben!
Yay!
No, wait! There's one missing.
What? That's impossible.
They must be still worth quite a
lot!
Of course, if even just
one of these Pogs is missing,
the entire collection is worthless.
Anyone who thinks otherwise
is a *** idiot.
A bit harsh!
But I definitely collected that final
Pog.
It was red and black with a silver
stripe.
It was the first week of school.
If only I could remember
what happened to that Pog.
If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye Joe
I'd have been married long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Somebody save me!
Agh!
Ha! Huh, huh, huh! Ha!
The Power Rangers!
Hey there, little man.
What seems to be the problem?
There's a big scary bully trying to
get all of my pocket money off of me!
***!
I knew you weren't a Power Ranger.
Why are you dressed like that?
When they said we had games on Thursday,
I thought we got to pick the game.
Oh, great! You're not going to
save me from the bully!
Oh, no! That's him!
Hey, bully! Leave this kid alone!
I'm not a bully!
You were trying to get
my pocket money off of me.
I was just trying to get you
to invest in my pyramid scheme.
Oh, where loads of people
put in money at the base
and the top people
cream off the profit?
No, where we save up together
and buy a pyramid!
A pyramid? I'm in!
Here's £2.
Oh! A fat quid? Brill!
I'm Tom. I'm a ledge.
I'm Matthew. I'm not a ledge.
I'm Ben. When I was a baby, I fell
off a ledge.
I've heard about you.
They say, if you give him
something shiny, he'll eat it.
Hey! Nice bum bag.
It's not a bum bag, it's my
Pogtainer.
And with this final Pog,
I'll have completed my set.
No-one likes Pogs any more!
Pogs are sad.
In my gang, we're into
friendship bracelets.
Wow! That's loads!
How many friends are in this gang?
Just me.
But I'm really good
at making friendship bracelets.
Can we be in your gang?
Hmm You'll have to pass some kind
of test.
Let me think.
What's wrong with your yo-yo?
It bends off to the left.
I knew this costume was too
revealing.
No! The yo-yo!
It just needs a weight on the other
side.
Something like
this.
Isn't that your final Pog?
Ben, sit on this.
I like your ideas, Matthew.
And your beard!
So thick on one so young!
It works!
Now, what's this test?
No need for a test.
You've both already passed.
Matthew, you'll be the brains.
And, Ben, you'll be the, er
buttocks!
I'll teach you the secret handshake.
It needs a bit of work.
I used to carry that yo-yo
everywhere!
I had it with me when I broke my
arm. When I got hit by that bus.
And when I saw my grandfather fall from a
fifth-floor window into a wood-chipper.
It was sort of like a good luck
charm.
Go and get it!
Dressing as the blue Power Ranger
for PE?
Ha! What an idiot!
Everyone knows the red one's the
fastest.
It'll be in here. This box contains
my happiest memories.
Wrong box.
This box contains my happiest
memories.
Here it is. We're rich!
Yay!
Wait a minute!
It's still bent off to the left.
The Pog isn't here! It must have
come off!
Well, where is it?
I'll search these magazines.
No! Give me a minute.
I can remember this.
The last time
this yo-yo worked properly was
Well, it must've been
the last day of school.
Dude!
We still need to work
on that secret handshake.
I thought you were getting your
shirt signed by all your friends?
I did.
Mrs Coulson?
Yeah. The best librarian I've ever
known.
What do you think of this?
You've gotta watch what you do
with your hair, Tom, it'll fall out.
That's not going to happen!
Tom!
You told me the last day of school
was fancy dress!
It is. Look, Matthew's come
dressed as Harry Potter.
Eh-oh!
I can't believe
it's the last day of school.
Just think, seven years ago,
we were in this room,
we couldn't spell, we could barely
write, we couldn't read.
Yeah.
Nothing changes.
Hey.
Remember our promise - when we're older,
we're all going to live together.
I dunno, guys. I'm off to university.
The next time you see me, I'll have
joined the upper echelons of academia.
You might find it intimidating hanging
out with a guy who's been to
Grimsby Technical College.
What's your plan, Tom?
I'm off to see the world.
I read this incredible book
that inspired me to travel,
to really get out on the road.
Ooh, Jack Kerouac?
No, it was an A to Z.
I've got big plans.
Mum says I've got
to tidy my room this Saturday.
And then
the world is my oyster.
Ben's like me.
We're studying at the University of
Life.
Actually, Tom
this came this morning.
I've been rejected
from the University of Life.
Hey, guys.
Eugh!
Can I sign your leavers' books?
No! They're for school leavers, not
school losers.
Come on, guys, let's head
to the dinner hall, y'all.
I didn't know this place
had a dinner hall!
Can't believe I found out
on the last day of school.
Yes, Ben, the dinner hall,
just past the toilets.
Toilets?!
Tom, can I talk to you for a
second?
Matthew tells me
you're going travelling the world.
I've booked myself
a one-way ferry ticket to Calais.
Then who knows?
First Europe. Then Asia.
Maybe swing over to Latin America,
see how those amigos are doing.
Oh!
Well, I'm going to miss you,
like, loads and stuff
so I was wondering, well,
maybe you'd give me something
to remember you by?
Remember me with that, all right?
Tom, quick! We just heard a rumour -
they're going to egg all the sad kids!
I can't wait to see this!
- Sad kids! Sad kids! Sad kids!
- Sad kids! Sad kids! Sad kids!
This is incredible news!
Yeah! Rachel
you fancied me!
That was years ago. I was, like, 14.
God, I wish you were still 14.
No
No, that came out wrong.
The Pog's on the denim jacket.
Do you still have it?
Give me ten minutes.
Ten minutes?
Sounds about right.
No!
You're going to stay right here.
If you insist.
Whoa!
Right, so this is all my old
clothes.
The jacket must be in here
somewhere.
Rachel, did you actually
used to wear this?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, Rachel used to wear it.
Here it is! We're rich!
Yay!
Wait.
The Pog's not on here.
It must be. It was definitely there
last time I wore it.
It was at the house-warming party
for this place. Remember?
You look happy.
How could I not be?
I'm moving into a flat with my two
favourite people in the world -
my sister and my girlfriend.
I hope Fiona
doesn't mind me living with you.
Of course not. Fiona loves you.
Rachel, I've labelled
all the food in the fridge
so you won't "accidentally" use some of
our margarine like you did this morning.
I'm sorry, Fiona.
It was only one piece of toast.
Oh, God, yeah, it's fine. I'm
not the housemate from hell, am I?
Just buy us another tub.
Right, now I kinda need
to talk to my boo-boo,
so if you could shoo-shoo.
Don't worry,
I suddenly really need a drink.
It's a great party, isn't it?
Look at all these people.
Matthew, these are all Rachel's
friends. Where are yours?
I'm sure they'll be here soon, dear.
Love you.
Not in front of everybody.
And don't slouch.
Ooh! That'll be them now.
Whoo-hoo!
Brokeback Mountain! Get it?
Ben, this isn't a fancy dress party.
I know.
So, how's uni? Settling in all
right?
Ben, I've graduated.
It's been three years.
Three years?!
I need to get this back to
Blockbuster.
So, what have you been up to?
Well, I've got my own place,
a degree, a girlfriend. You?
I'm your girlfriend?
No, what have you been up to?
Oh!
Lots of stuff.
This took me a good couple of days.
And this weekend,
I'm finally going to tidy my room.
Matthew, some of Rachel's friends
are drinking our lemonade.
It's clearly labelled.
Howdy. What's your name?
Ben it's me.
Rachel! You look so different!
I can't keep up with all this
change.
I wish Tom was still here.
Oh, me too.
It's incredible what he's doing -
travelling the world.
I often think of him -
rugged, handsome,
his long hair flowing in the wind as
he hikes down the Great Wall of China.
The Great Wall of China?
Come on, Rachel!
That was knocked down in 1989.
Er, Rachel, Fiona would like you
to explain to your friends
about the importance of coasters.
Jai-ho!
Tom! You're back!
I return from my travels.
And I come bearing gifts.
Ben, this is for you.
And, Matthew, these
are for you.
So, tell us all about your
adventures.
Such sights, such smells,
such special offers.
The duty-free at Calais is
incredible.
Oh, God, you never left the
duty-free!
You've never seen Toblerone so big.
Hey, Rachel's here.
She'll be delighted to see you.
Rachel!
Oh, dear.
Has she still got
her little teenage crush on me?
Tom!
Oh, my God!
Oh my God!
You're not how I remember you at
all.
I was about to say exactly the same
thing.
Guys you must meet my girlfriend.
Fiona, this is Tom and Ben,
my oldest and dearest pals.
Tom's just come back from Calais.
Imagine the biggest bottle of Malibu
you've ever seen.
Now double it.
You're still not even close.
He's blowing my mind.
Come on, Matthew, I want to dance.
Fiona seems a bit
Of a ***. Yeah, she is.
What does Matthew even see in her?
Missy be puttin' it down
I'm the hottest round
I told y'all mother
Y'all can't stop me now
Listen to me now
I'm lasting 20 rounds
And if you want me
Now I really need a drink.
Your wish is my giant bottle of
Malibu.
No, thanks, Tom. If I drank all of this,
I might do something really stupid.
Where am I?
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Er Listen, Tom,
I was drunk and
Ben?!
Oh, ***.
"Never tell anyone about this,
or else!
"PS, you should really tidy this
room."
I can't believe you've slept with
Rachel!
I can't believe you told them!
You took advantage of me
when I was drunk!
You took advantage of ME when I was
drunk!
Why did no-one take advantage of ME?
I was drunk!
It's fine.
Honestly. I'm fine.
Just going to go and get a drink.
You massive BLEEP!
You ginormous BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP!
You heart wa BLEEP!
You horse lasagne!
You BLEEP ***!
Well, ha-ha,
let's not worry about the past.
Let's focus on the present.
What's pinned to that headboard
is worth a fortune.
Did you bring it with you
when you moved in?
Yes. Go and get it!
Just the Pog, I mean, not the
whole
headboard.
Here it is! We're rich!
Yeah!
But it's not on here.
What? Maybe I tidied it away.
Be serious, Ben.
When was the last time you had that
Pog?
Well
must have been four years ago.
It was the day Tom and I
moved into this flat.
Maybe I'm out of touch,
but I just don't get modern music.
That's more like it.
I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Ben, watch your feet on the stairs.
I dropped something,
so there's some water
and some glass
and a goldfish.
Dude-decahedron!
Hey, housemate!
I shouldn't have boxed up
all my other clothes.
Whoa!
Listen, I'm sorry Fiona split up
with you,
but it does mean we get to fulfil
our pact and all live together.
Ha!
Besides, you're better off without
her.
That girl was a complete bi
bibbity bobbity boo!
Fiona! You're still here!
Perfect. Just two of the many
reasons I'm leaving you.
Well, now you can live with your pathetic
school friends and never grow up.
Brilliant!
Cheer up.
How about we put some music on
and you can have a dance?
Missy be puttin' it down
I'm the hottest round
I'm going through a difficult
break-up!
Worth a try.
I'll be back tomorrow, Matthew,
for the rest of my stuff,
which is clearly labelled.
Rachel! Well, that's me moved out of
my room.
Sorry, but it still smells
a bit of my perfume.
Bagsy my room!
Ben.
Rachel.
Um
Listen
Um
Rachel!
I have got you a brilliant
house-leaving present.
So, this one must be my room.
Ooh!
It's going to need a tidy.
Oh, I'm going to miss
living with you, Matthew.
But I'll call you in the week.
You thought any more about that
internship at Carabine Promotions?
I think I can do a little bit better
than a temp job at your office.
Don't forget, I almost got a 2:2
in Leisure and Tourism.
Ta-dah!
Oh, Tom!
It's so big.
Oh, better go. Andrew's waiting
outside.
Who's Andrew? The removal man?
No, Tom! Andrew's my boyfriend.
Bye, guys.
Now that I'm living here,
nothing can hold me back.
Who knows where life will take me?
I can't believe that was four years
ago.
I need to tidy that room.
Still, it was fun remembering
things, wasn't it?
What?
The Pog! You haven't remembered the
Pog.
Oh, yeah. I was just getting to
that.
Who knows where life will take me?
Hm!
So, it was under this table all
along!
We're rich!
It's not here.
Can I trust anything you say any
more?
Wait. This isn't the same table.
That table was Fiona's. She came back
the next day to pick it up
with the rest of her
clearly labelled stuff.
Well, then you need to phone Fiona.
D'you know what?
I'm not that bothered
about these Pogs after all.
Oh, come on, Matthew!
Matthew!
All right, all right!
I can't do it. Rachel, you answer it.
I can't answer it. She hates me.
Tom
Don't look at me.
I'll get it.
What? You said it was knight-time.
Ben, you look fantastic.
Knight-time. Huh! Yeah.
Matthew, it's so good to see you.
You look great.
Rachel!
You look more beautiful than ever.
Tom!
Hello!
Fiona, you're
you're really nice!
Come in.
Oh! I love what you've done
with the place.
Yeah, I think might owe you all an apology
for the way I used to treat you all.
I guess back then I
I might have been a bit of a ***.
No!
I was just so unhappy.
But I sorted myself out.
I went to a therapist who told me
the whole time I was dating Matthew
I was just massively sexually
unfulfilled.
Huh! Let's have a look at this table,
eh, shall we?
Before we do that
there's someone very special
I'd like you to meet.
Matthew, this is Martin.
You should have told me.
It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young
that's your fault
There's so much you have to know
Find a girl
And this is my husband, Marcus.
Well, Fiona, you've certainly got a
type.
You must be Matthew.
I've heard all about you.
I was Fiona's therapist.
And let me tell you, I I really
got to the root of the problem.
Christ alive, mate,
your kid's right there!
Now, Matthew, I can't sell you
our old coffee table.
You can just have it.
It's been so lovely to see you all
again.
Come on, Martin,
let's get you to your dance class.
And then we'll get Mummy home
for a little therapy session.
Oh! Eurgh!
We did it! We're rich!
Yeah!
And all it cost us was our
friendship.
Oh Come on, mate.
Tom, get over it. We were drunk.
It was just meaningless, wild sex.
Yeah.
And only once.
Most of the night we were just
cuddling.
Aarrrrghhhh!
How long before those two get
together?
All done?
The Pog!
This time, we really are rich!
My collection is complete.
Hang on.
There's an identical one right next
to it.
Oh, God!
I've remembered the wrong Pog!
This wasn't the final Pog.
This was a swapsy.
What did the other Pog look like?
It was a shiny.
A silver shiny.
And what happened to it?
They say if you give him something
shiny, he'll eat it.
Hey! Nice bum bag.
It's not a bum bag, it's my
Pogtainer.
Pogs? Shiny!
I've got no idea
what happened to that shiny Pog.
Well
I guess we'll never know.
I suppose what we've learnt
from this episode
is you can't live in the past, so
it's important to forgive and forget.
And finally, they don't make 'em like
they used to.
If it hadn't been for Cotton Eye
Joe I'd been married long time ago
Where did you come from?
Where did you go?
Where did you come from
