The stars of children's TV: where are they now?

Back in the eighties, when you spent hours watching cartoons instead of playing with the other kids because they all said you smelled of wee (no? Just us then?), we bet you never gave a moment's thought to how the stars of those cartoons would turn out.

They gave their souls for your entertainment, and you just sank another Soda Stream cola and laughed it off. But when Inspector Gadget got replaced by Ben 10 and Captain Planet had to make way for...er...Iggle Piggle, what happened to these former stars? We caught up with some of them to find out.

When we asked him how he liked living in the sewer, he responded by trying to gnaw on our flesh.

He-Man kept on renewing his gym membership, but come on, an hour after work every night? Who's got that kind of time?
