Hello campers! It's your favourite pop culture pick me ups Ben Baker and John Matthews on your internet tellies again with another pantomime poster from Britain's proud past.

This month we've finally made it to Wales for a performance bridging the 80s and 90s. And who do we have in this era of Madchester, warehouse parties and proto grunge? A sitcom star in career limbo, Jersey's top historian and sex symbol, a kids favourite who broke out to become one of the biggest TV producers in the country, one of Wales' most enduring performers, a TV double act who hadn't had a TV series for nearly 18 years and a astrological prophet / liar (delete as applicable.)

We also learn some extra curricular facts about one of Britain's oldest entertainment industry fraternities, find out how many songs someone can ring out of a zodiac theme for an album, wonder if any children were permanently warped by "Sindy: The Fairy Princess", discover how John Barrowman fits into the Olive Guppy Olivettes, enjoy Bill Tarmey and, most importantly, debate the price of a Fudge in 1989.
