the presents a hot pipe of uncharacteristically-long items of entertainment, while Phil lies back for once and just watches.

16:00 – Mix
\ Half an hour of groovy tunes to get going, coupled with a sunny Autumnal stroll around Weston-super-Mare – the St Tropez of the Westcountry.

16:35 – The Aquabats! Super Show!
\ Kooky daft kids show about a New Wave band of heroes. The Aquabats have fallen on hard times and are desperate to save the world again. Guest stars Weird Al Yankovic.

16:55 – Countdown – Series 22 Grand Final
\ This 1991 series of Countdown reaches a rousing climax. This grand final is notable for being hijacked by poxy Martin Jarvis and his equally luvvie wife, who have basically only turned up to nauseatingly advertise their dismal audio tapes.

17:35 – Music featurette
\ Featurette talking to Fatboy Slim shortly before the notorious Big Beach Boutique II, a free event that caused Brighton to be invaded by a quarter of a million people.

17:45 – Down Your Ear (Radio 4)
\ Satisfying precision daftness as Armando Iannucci probes the world of sounds and radio.

17:55 – The Smell Of Reeves And Mortimer
\ The final episode of series 1, in the expanded 35-minute form found on the long-deleted VHS releases. Bob goes for a job interview.

18:30 – True Spies
\ Concluding part of the probing 2002 BBC documentary series. Investigating the activities of the secret state against perceived subversion in the UK, taking us up to the early 2000s.

19:30 – The Thick Of It
\ The second hour-long special of the ace political comedy. Spinners and Losers – the PM’s sudden resignation triggers a night of mad scrambles for power, flimsy alliances and spilled Jaffa Cakes.

20:35 – TV Hell: The Official History Of Hell
\ A quality bit of televisual mea culpa from 1992. Programme makers (rather than rent-a-gob commentators) dig through both esoteric and infamous examples of misjudged, calamitous and just plain unpopular programme-making.

21:35 – Atari: Game Over (2014)
\ Documentary film that shines a light around the internal workings of video game makers Atari in the early 80s, and investigates an enduring myth surrounding their downfall – did they really bury tons of unsold cartridges in the desert?

22:45 – FILM: It’s Nice Up North (2006)
\ Versatile singer-songwriter John Shuttleworth has a theory – that people are nicer the further North you go. Teaming up with Martin Parr on camera and a sound recordist from the Midlands, they venture to the Shetland islands to test this theory to shattering point.

00:05 – Closedown
