This week and over the coming weeks we are going to take you through the rightfully forgotten BBC reality survival show Castaway 2000 for no other reason then we really love it apparently. That's right, for the next few weeks/months/until we get tired and forget you're going to hear all about a show that is a quarter of a century old. But don't let that put you off, this is some th

Come fly with me, lets fly, lets fly away. But please do remember to bring an in date passport yeah?We're back to maximum strength this week as we take you through the "best" of the late '90s fly on the wall shows, the mighty Airline.

James is away this week so Planty and Joe are left to their own devices and choose to take you through the short lived and incredibly confusing "quiz" show Shafted! hosted by everyone's favourite whammer Robert Kilroy-Silk.

Yeah, we know everyone else is reviewing it but in the words of the late, great Dolores O'Riordan "everyone else is doing it, so why cant we"?

Hotel Hell

This week we dip our toe back in to the slime filled Gordon swimming pool as we take you through a Cher-Tastic episode of Hotel Hell.

Robot Wars

Nov 12 2024 57 mins

Awooga!This week to complete our Craig Charles triangle were taking you through the much loved cyborg gladiator nonsense that is Robot Wars (season 9 episode 2) purely for a reason that becomes apparent. If you are not familiar with the concept, teams of nerds, mechanical wizards and for some reason children build and then battle huge armoured robots in an arena that has spikes and
