Today’s show will start at 5pm with some Train Sim, then we’ll move onto the music show at 6pm – there may be a music video request slot towards the end. After this there will be an audience choice film double bill! The first slot is a choice of three straight-to-video sequels to films I’ve shown in the last year. The second film slot is something of a palate cleanser! Please note that due to the free-form nature of the show, the timings are approximate.

This week we celebrate 50 years of Play For Today. On this day in 1970, the very first play was broadcast – The Long Distance Piano Player, starring Ray Davies. I will be broadcasting this at 9.20, the same time it originally went out (it even went out on a Thursday night, for optimal synchronicity).

In the afternoon we have some schools programming and a CITV block. After Star Trek, we take a dip into the late nineties home improvement craze with Changing Rooms and Ground Force, then some Robot Wars before the evening’s main event. After this, we look at der trubbles with a late news report on the Enniskillen bombing, and a Cook Report focusing on racketeering by paramilitary organisations. We finish off with the sixth episode of Micro Live.
