right-o – lets run this down then

• Byker Grove has got interesting/grim
• Mr Hell’s getting stale but there’s only 3 more episodes
• chucklevision’s hitting its stride, this time the tomfoolery is hotel based
• under the mountain’s looking promising almost halfway in
• this week is definitely The Great Cornholio
• no idea who’s presenting Alright Now this week, we’re almost at the end of the run
• Strange Paradise… we’re still sorted until the end of the year
• Jupiter Moon – 11 to go. the attractive German Girl “Tranquility” has settled in after being shoehorned into the script at the last minute. I’m guessing there were some audience analytics done and they realised that loads of folk were picking it up over in Europe.
• Rollergames – the penultimate match
• electric dreams – the 90s come back like a disease released from the permafrost, infecting the family. i fully expect a death from ecstasy, a chip pan fire and endless 15-1 on the telly between fights over the mega drive and snes. unless they supply them with a turbografx-16. though since they got the synth in the 80s episode, i wouldn’t be surprised if they gave the fuckers a Neo-Geo.
• The Lotus Eaters – we’re getting close to the creschendo now, hoefully we’ll get another tinfoil based dream sequence/hallucination
• Prisoner Cell Block H – fun and games at Wentworth detention centre and beyond. Chrissy’s kid is entrusted to the care of her sister in law (played by David Bowie’s understudy from the man who fell to earth) – she wants kids of her own. now this might seem innocuous, but this is Caged Heat, so something’s bound to go tits up. possibly even Chrissy if she goes back on the game (i’ve heard it’s her favorite position). Inside the prison itself, the “security is being tightened” completely mismanaged, but tightened, and Erica has been saved the chop. Harold putting Woz in charge went over like a fart in church, and Bea’s stay in Barnhurst has led to her being introduced to Mari Winter, and of course Magic Mushrooms.
