What is Wednesday if not the hot filling in the kebab of the working week? Just be careful not to let it drip on your shoes.

16:00 – Library mix
\ We turn to short-lived Italian library Picci for today’s selection of hot funkin’ tuneage, coupled with early electronic spurtings from the Astra 1B satellite.

16:30 – Bad Influence!
\ Andy Crane explains 68000 assembly language to a tortoise while Zee Wright points at a monorail and explains that it has a computer in it. This week’s platform game is Peter The Microbe.

16:50 – All Clued Up
\ Newly-unearthed 1991 episode of the fuck-me-that’s-a-big-computer assault on your Sunday afternoon, which is suspiciously similar to Hangman. Hosted by the doomed Atlantic flight that is David Hamilton.

17:20 – Room 101 (radio)
\ Another corker from the radio version, the antithesis of Desert Island Discs. Writer and actor Chris England lays into Shaky, Greavsie and Carry On England.

17:45 – Top Of The Pops
\ A randomly-selected edition from 1991 (the era with the space freighter endoscopy titles). Expect both hot shit and dog shit.

18:20 – FILM: 1971 (2014)
\ Documentary about the 1971 break-in at an FBI office in Pennsylvania, in which every file was stolen and leaked to the press, which exposed the illegal COINTELPRO programme of FBI surveillance and political disruption. Luckily that sort of thing doesn’t happen anymore.

19:35 – Remote Control
\ The MTV pop culture quiz format that landed on C4 in the early 90s and took on a Mancunian bent. This is the 1992 election special, with guest appearances from John Thomson, Caroline Aherne and Frank Sidebottom.

20:00 – Small Objects of Desire – The Video Tape
\ A very quirky Yentobian BBC2 show from the 1993 that considers the finer points of everyday objects. This week – the video tape.

20:20 – The Thick Of It
\ A distracted and increasingly ostracised Malcolm Tucker takes a normal shitty day at DoSAC and cack-handedly swerves it into a tree.

20:45 – FILM: Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton (2013)
\ Documentary about the formation and legacy of the hugely influential hip hop record label Stones Throw. Started by producer Peanut Butter Wolf in 1996, Stones Throw was initially a means to release the records he made with rapper Charizma who was tragically killed in 1993. It grew and became home to seminal acts such as Madlib, MF Doom, J Dilla and Breakestra, and also re-released many rare funk recordings by obscure 1970s acts. (This looks to be a more nourishing documentary story than the Mo’Wax one I showed recently.)

22:20 – Not With A Bang
\ Episodes of this 1990 end-of-the-world ITV sitcom starring Josie Lawrence have now re-emerged. After the first episode (shown on the Show #19) in which the human race is all but wiped out by a mishap on the set of Tomorrow’s World, four survivors have found each other and are holed up in a country pub, contemplating their future.

22:45 – Banzai!
\ Another episode of the early-E4 comedy betting show, stylised as a Japanese programme but with peculiarly British obsessions.

23:10 – Night music
\ I bring you the 1994 longform single of Lifeforms by The Future Sound Of London, from that magical era in the 90s when singles by electronic acts were frequently epics in themselves. Accompanied by a magical misty walk via a lake and the woods.

23:50 – Closedown

Bonus splats of entertainment throughtout – Badly-packed timings to be adjusted
