17:00   Mix – GQ (1997)
A nice mix plucked off the shelf – this is a summery laid-back ride through some of the big beat and grooves being played in the bars, pubs and clubs in August 1997. This mix was put together at that time for GQ magazine.

18:15   Room 101 – Tony Slattery (1992)
Classic episode of the superior Radio 5 incarnation of Room 101 – the antidote to Desert Island Discs. Tony Slattery expertly makes the case against his least favourite records, places and TV programmes.

18:45   Beat The Teacher (1986)
Children’s BBC swept into the broom cupboard era with this noughts-and-crosses quiz, pitching kids against teachers. Wouldn’t you prefer a nice game of chess?

19:05   Absolutely (1992)
The finest sketch comedy made by Channel 4. This one’s from its final series, branded by many as the poorest series – but which actually contains most of the tightest and funniest individual sketches, proving that comedy fans are never to be trusted.

19:45   The Pixar Shorts: A Short History (2007)
A concise but fascinating inside look at the development of the Pixar company’s animation team, and their groundbreaking CG short films. Includes some great CG archive material.

20:15   Nightingales – Terence In The Midst (1990)
Off-the-wall sitcom about three night watchmen. Mr Carter hopes for an escape to a new job, while the gang await the arrival of a new recruit.

20:40   Please Say Something (2009)
Poignant computer animation from David O’Reilly. A cat and a mouse endure a fraught romantic relationship.

21:00   Zero Days (2016)
Gripping documentary film about the global spread of the Stuxnet computer virus in 2010, and the chilling discoveries made in trying to identify its creators and purpose.

23:10   In Bed With MeDinner (1994)
Bob Mills leads us through his implausible career as a TV producer and socialite, in this charmingly shambolic late-night clip show.

23:50    Mix – Krafty Kuts Instant Party (2001)
An all-time favourite mix. The party keeps rolling with this welcomingly infectious blend of breaks, bass and funk, all put together by Krafty Kuts.
