Chute! was a short-lived children's television comedy clip show broadcast on CBBC, which lasted for a single series of thirteen episodes in 2007.
The series starred comedian Ross Lee as a version of himself, who has become trapped in the BBC Television Centre's rubbish tip (down the titular chute), a room littered with approximately 83,000 discarded video cassettes. Lee typically spends each episode sharing one of the countless tapes - typically consisting of humorously-edited clips of other BBC shows, or videos from video sharing sites such as YouTube - with whoever comes to visit him (specifically, the viewer - the episodes are shown through their perspective in first-person), with the title sequence positing that the guest is a child who fell down the chute whilst participating in a tour of the BBC studio. The tip is also home to an unidentified green monster which, at the end of the episode, drags away and "eats" the viewer.
Another reoccurring aspect of the series was that Ross would also be joined by a guest star of some variety, such as characters from other CBBC shows. The ninth episode of the series, broadcast on 22 November, is notable in that regard, and to this wiki, for featuring the guest appearances of Daniel Anthony and Tommy Knight, both in character as Clyde Langer and Luke Smith from The Sarah Jane Adventures.
Other DWU references
Episode 1
A collection of BBC bloopers included a clip of a man talking about Doctor Who on a park bench, whilst an individual dressed as a Sea Devil walked up and fell over behind him.
In an image montage set to a section of the Spice Girls song Who Do You Think You Are, where each image shown bore a loose relation to the lyrics being sung, each instance of the word "who" in the selection is accompanied by a Doctor Who-related image.
Connections
Bill Oddie, Lizo Mzimba, Ian McNeice, and Danny John-Jules guest starred as themselves in episodes 2, 5, 8, and 12, respectively.
Among the reoccurring videos featured are re-voiced clips from the 1954 film On the Waterfront, the newly-recorded dialogue being written by Russell T Davies.
