- TriviaUnusually, for a small British sitcom, it's theme tune was specially composed by the prolific American musician, composer, arranger and producer, Mike Post, who has long been considered the most successful composer in television history. This came about as Mike Bubbins was writing the show while he interviewed the composer for his weekly '70s-themed show on BBC Radio Wales in the summer of 2021. They remained in contact and Post told Bubbins to get in touch should the show be commissioned.
Featured review
Mammoth
Mammoth looks like a pilot. Creator Mike Bubbins is a former PE Teacher, rugby player and a superfan of the 1970s.
He plays Tony Mammoth, caught in an avalanche in 1979 and thawed out. He is adjusting to life in 2021 where everyone thought he is dead.
Tony is back teaching at his old school. His old friends such as Roger now live in an old people's home. Tony even has a therapist trying to help him adjust to the 21st century.
Tony is a dinosaur or a woolly mammoth. He his in a world of mobile phones and health & safety.
This is basically Life on Mars in reverse. A comedy and not a crime drama. Also Tony is no Neanderthal. He might use Hai Karate aftershave but he comes to the aid of a school kid who cannot afford a sports kit. He makes the rest of the class play topless.
It might work as a series but you do wonder how long can Tony hold off from the benefits of modern life. I mean has no one told him just how much porn he can download on his mobile phone!
