Five essential bits of Butlins banter to get stuck into at Bloc
Get wavey in the Drexciyan sense, literally
4 Spin out at your chalet crack-ons with the weirdness of Bloc TV
Chalet crack-ons are an integral part of any Bloc weekender, and making them as weird as possible is also key to getting the full Butlins experience. Wait until the hype of last night’s raving is just beginning to fade into tiredness, when the floor is strewn with more deflated latex than the aftermath of the Worldwide Balloon Covention (it’s a thing) and people are in immobile states stuck to sofas, then stick on the telly and immerse everyone in the absurdity of Bloc TV. If previous years are anything to go by, there’ll be a host of peculiar B movies with titles like Nudist Colony Of The Dead , Spongebob Squarepants clips edited into trippy mashups, and a whole channel devoted to showing Groundhog Day on an endless loop (unless we dreamt that). It’s not Bloc if you don’t break through to the other side, then suddenly come to at 5pm during your eighth straight viewing of the Bill Murray classic.
