This week's retro block features continuity, news and other ephemera (mainly) from the mid nineties. We'll be warming up with some Pages From Ceefax at 4, then at 5pm there will be a compilation of interviews and musical performances from the BBC's perennial magazine programme Pebble Mill, including such luminaries as Ant and Dec, Paul Shane and Ted Chippington. This week's schools/CBBC block features the second episode of Geordie Racer.

del/hog/03/06/20

Another unoccupied and beckoning Wednesday slot, another del/hog replacement stream.

Same deal as last week - Del will start things off at 5pm and hogTV will take over at 8pm.

Continuing a theme from last week's stream, tonight I'll be showing the Jacques Becker classic, Le Trou. Subjectively and objectively the best prison escape film ever made. If you haven't seen it before you're in for a treat.

Funbucket 45 (05.06.20)

In contrast to the sort of stuff I've been showing in the film slot of late, this Friday's show will conclude with a sojourn into the gritty world of late sixties social realism with two Ken Loach films.

In the first film of the night, Kes (1969), we get a glimpse into the life of Billy Casper (played by David Bradley in his first ever acting role). Billy is a teenage boy …

Dance comes to CABTV in the form of DV8's Strange Fish. A bit of synth fun with Adult Swim's Lords of Synth leads us into tonight's …

Apologies for not getting this schedule up earlier. Tonight's films will be Beverley Hills Cop (1984) and Lethal Weapon 2 (1989) - I showed the first one around Christmas time if anyone's wondering why I'm playing the second film!
