Lots of documentaries, plus music, fun and film. I’ll be absent for the first hour or so, so remember to use a coaster.

16:00 – Spycops Like Us (audio)
\ A bonus item relating to the Show #15 – Alexei Sayle talks to a lawyer and Helen from the McLibel film about the details of UK spycops operations.

17:20 – Library music mix
\ Accompanied by a reassuring wall of vintage Ceefax.

17:45 – Henry’s Cat
\ Bob Godfrey’s cartoon that is much funnier than I ever recognised at the time.

18:00 – Crosswits
\ It’s a Crosswits crossover as two other gameshow hosts help Joe and Petunia Public win a very small amount of money.

18:25 – Bob Godfrey’s Do-It-Yourself Animation Show
\ Terry Gilliam, probably around the time that Flying Circus was still being made, humourously demonstrates cut-out animation for the benefit of young viewers.

18:40 – 20 Years Ago Today
\ 1984 documentary programme about the troubled 1964 launch of BBC2 and the channel’s early days.

19:20 – The Big Shilling
\ Ten minute documentary about a wrecking ball operator. Earthy.

19:30 – Affluenza
\ Unaffiliated to the Oliver James book of the same name – a 2000 documentary capturing the same subject, namely the neurotic soul void faced by the sort of people who acquire riches after dedicating themselves to the pursuit of them. It’s more of a time capsule of the dotcom bubble and a snapshot of grifting individualist West Coast bullshit in all its quasi-psychological quasi-mystical unpleasantness.

20:25 – Room 101
\ The TV version – guest is Tony Slattery.

21:00 – FILM: Black Pond (2011)
\ Fantastic low budget independent black comedy. Elation and tragedy strike when a stranger comes to dinner.

22:35 – Nightmare at Canary Wharf
\ Documentary covering the painful launching of the painful UK cable channel L!ve TV.

23:20 – All In A Day – The City
\ Narration-free programme documenting the human events of one day in 1974 in Sheffield.

00:05 – Closedown
