Del has kindly vacated the Fundown slot for a solid bastarding cocktail of comedy, music, documentaries, and what the British Standards Institute might define as ‘things’.

\ We recommence the video game news and reviews show from the point that Avril (hello!) took us up to.

17:40 – The Krypton Factor
\ Unswervingly dull ‘put yourself to the test’ gameshow which somehow clocked up nearly 20 years on ITV, presumably due to people filling their cars with Two-Star Leaded. This edition is from the weird first series in 1977, featuring a woman who answers questions with a question, the longest observation round in history, and a round I’m going to call ‘Granada sales twat of the month’.

22:45 – S&M
