The Total Entertainment Package for the Marketplace Of Today™

16:00 – Davey Jones discusses Willy The Kid by Leo Baxendale
\ Davey Jones (who makes all the best stuff in Viz) discusses the three Willy The Kid hardback comics made by Bash Street Kids creator Leo Baxendale in the late 70s.

17:05 – The $64,000 Question
\ Dismal UK adaptation of the US high-money quizshow, which due to broadcasting rules offers a star prize of £6,400. The beginning of the po-faced ‘just questions and money’ era of quizshows that lead us to Who Wants To Watch This Every Fucking Night.

17:30 – Bad Influence!
\ We’re into the bloated industry era of 16-bit platform shovelware and overhyped next-big-thing consoles that deliver nothing. Egg and chips.

17:55 – Room 101 (radio)
\ A lively edition – Frank Skinner meets Nick Hancock and discusses the arse off his least favourite records and stuff.

18:30 – FILM: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)
\ Comedy starring Bill Murray as washed-up underwater explorer Steve Zissou, trying to turn his flagging career around by seeking to find and film the elusive Jaguar Shark.

20:30 – Jack and Jeremy’s Police 4
\ Sort of pisstake of Crimewatch and other police TV from Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy.

21:05 – The Thick Of It
\ We begin series 3 – Hugh’s had the boot, and Malcolm rummages behind the fridge and under carpets for his replacement, eventually finding Nicola Murray MP.

21:45 – FILM: Man vs Snake – The Long and Twisted Tale of Nibbler (2015)
\ Retro gaming documentary. Kind of covering the same era and players as King Of Kong, but Man Vs Snake is focused on the frankly ridiculous world of endurance gaming – beating world records by playing coin-ops for days at a time.

23:20 – The Music Game
\ Do you like Tony Slattery, Neil Innes, Betty Boo and Nicholas Parsons? That’s a stroke of luck then, as they’re all in this music panel quiz that I don’t remember.

23:45 – Mix
\ Chunky-arse Russian big beat revival!
