Do they still make toaster ovens?

Yes, I nearly bought one the other day, but generally those are so badly made, I turned my broken one upside down instead.

Oh that reminds me, European originated programmes once made up a significant proportion of children's TV here, so we:

'The Singing Ringing Tree' from Czechoslovakia
'The Flashing Blade' from France
'Robinson Crusoe' from I think Sweden
'The White Horses' I'm guessing from Hungary

lots of other stuff, like a weird historical series set at the turn of the 20th century about spies and capitalists set in I think the Austro-hungarian empire, but not sure.
