We're experiencing a heatwave in the UK right now so what better way to cool of then diving headfirst into Ice Warriors — ITV's baffling attempt to combine Gladiators, Mad Max, ice hockey, figure skating, time travel, and whatever was left in the props department after Robot Wars finished filming.

Join us as we try to answer life's biggest questions:

🧊 Why did future warriors travel back to Manchester in 1998?

🧊 Is Rax the Destroyer actually just a very aggressive teaching assistant?

🧊 Who thought "Porcupine" was a sensible name for a game involving a shopping trolley on ice?

🧊 Why are there SO MANY Ice Warriors?

🧊 What exactly is the "Book of Duros" and why does it sound like something found in a motorway service station?

Featuring:

⚔️ Danny Bear looking thoroughly unimpressed

⚔️ The Ice Master speaking exclusively in cryptic fortune-cookie wisdom

⚔️ A tiny goblin called Schnaps

⚔️ Shotgun Tony

⚔️ Future sports, future fashion, and future confusion

⚔️ More lore than anyone involved was prepared to explain

By the end we're left with only one conclusion: this show may have been a complete disaster... but we absolutely loved it.

💬 Did you watch Ice Warriors when it originally aired?

💬 Which Ice Warrior would be your champion?

💬 And what was actually inside all those pockets?

This week on Repeat or Delete, James, Joe & Planty dive headfirst into VH1’s gloriously chaotic dating relic Rock of Love (Season 1, Episode 3: “Motocross Mayhem”). What starts as a motocross challenge quickly devolves into crashes, screaming matches, mystery limoncello, wall-sized insults, and Bret Michaels watching it all unfold with alarming enthusiasm. As contestants battle for the affection of Poison’s frontman, the hosts try to answer the important questions: Why are there so many Brandis? Why is everyone dressed for a different reality show? And why does every prize involve spending more time with Bret Michaels?

Expect motocross disasters, strawberry-fuelled romance, reality TV archaeology, and a healthy amount of disbelief as we decide whether this early-2000s trash-TV phenomenon deserves to be repeated… or deleted forever.

In this gloriously chaotic episode of Repeat or Delete, James, Joe and Planty dive headfirst into the bizarre 1990s BBC gameshow Pets Win Prizes — a fever dream of egg-carrying dogs, racing iguanas, goat-drawn carts and Dale Winton in full mischievous form.

From hamster pub crawls to cats deciding luxury prizes at random, we dissect one of the strangest pieces of light entertainment ever broadcast, uncovering baffling game mechanics, questionable prizes, and an alarming amount of innuendo along the way. Alongside the madness, there’s nostalgic chat about forgotten TV formats, 90s aesthetics, Terry Nutkins lore, premium-rate phone scams, and whether anyone should legally own a lizard.

A genuinely unhinged trip through forgotten television history.

Welcome to Repeat Our Delete — the podcast that dives headfirst into the weirdest television ever broadcast and asks the important question: should it be repeated forever… or deleted from history?

This week, Joe, Planty and James enter the baffling world of Runaround (1975–1981), the children’s quiz show where:

• Kids sprint between answers in total confusion
• Wrong answers send you to “the pit”
• Mike Reid shouts “GO GO GO!” at terrified children
• Random men appear with giant bicycles and miniature fairgrounds
• Jonah Lewie turns up for absolutely no reason
• And somehow… this was peak family entertainment

Along the way we discuss:

📺 Lost episodes and ITV chaos

🚲 The world’s largest tricycle

🎡 Tiny mechanised fairgrounds

🎵 “You Will Always Find Me In The Kitchen At Parties”

🚨 The Semaphore Public Safety Song

📼 Portable TVs, encyclopedias, and deeply confusing prizes

💀 Ask Jeeves finally dying

🎤 Malcolm McLaren telling villagers “Jesus was a sausage”

…and a giant inflatable blue thing that absolutely should not have been on children’s television.

Featuring:

• Mike Reid at maximum confusion
• “Two young ladies in the pit we have”
• “Something gone wrong again?” “No.”
• Mark, who likes watching TV
• The Tittering Chapter Bot of Transubstantiation
• And the terrifying reality competition “Air Castle”

Were back this week with a little remembered (except for them pesky Belson Boys) Full Swing, the worlds only golf based game show. With very good reason too, because its very very insane. Imagine a bewildering world of VR golf, questions so easy its laughable and jokes so old they could claim their pension.

Thanks a lot Belsons

We dive into Fort Boyard—a bizarre early-2000s game show where “celebrities” tackle confusing challenges in a French fort, guided (and mildly harassed) by Leslie Grantham and Melinda Messenger.

Expect:

• Impossible challenges
• Cryptic riddles
• Constant swimming for keys
• A dungeon, a spinning nightmare machine… and a gimp

Think The Crystal Maze—but messier, meaner, and making far less sense.

Verdict: Chaotic, confusing, weirdly entertaining. Probably should be deleted.

Apologies for our absence but life sometimes gets in the way of these things. Anyways, we are back with a new episode of Repeat or Delete and this time we are going way back to 2002 with a Celebrity Lookalike episode of The Weakest Link.

The show that brought Anne Robinson to the nations attention (make of that what you will) and inspire a whole generation of people to think that being a jerk was cool.

There's all the usual stuff as well as a secret message in there if you listen carefully

Its back in time once again to 2005 Channel 4 docu-hell with Wife Swap. The show where two women swap houses and families and yell at each other.

This is apparently a classic episode starring Penny a woman with hair and another woman called Penny who also has hair. Imagine that!

There's talk of mulllets, boiled meat, chinese dynasties and the always popular "How will Planty get Thatcher into this anecdote"

Continuing our dating show theme for some reason we take you back to the early 2010s with a classic episode of Take Me Out. There's really no way to describe the cocaine fuelled fever dream that this show is so watch/listen along yeah?

Before there was Love Island and Married at First Sight, there was Blind Date. Hosted by our second favourite scouser Cilla Black, the show has all the grace and charm of a dead horse tumbling towards an orphanage.
