Colin & Paul attempt to out Christmas each other with a seasonal themed quiz on movies, TV and music. As Jay tries to retain control as the host who will reign supreme? Will Colin even remember his name, will Paul have spent weeks feverishly researching the answers, and will it all end in one big bun fight?
We're using our bionic eyes, but not our barely bionic brains as we take a look at the popular American TV series, The Six Million Dollar Man. Along the way, Colin marvels at Steve Austin's clothing, Paul worries about aging into Sasquatch, and we choose our own Bionic bits and pieces.
It's time to unleash our animal instincts, but luckily Paul's finally been house trained, so we can take a look at the short-lived, fantasy, crime show, Manimal from 1983. Along the way Colin wonders how police consultants actually work, Paul wonders why he had the annual to a show he didn't see, and we both try to work out the logistics of Manimal's powers, (spoiler, we fail).
Enjoy!
There's strange noises coming from Retrospection Towers, and it's not just Paul after curry night. No, we've become possessed by the spirit of Ghostwatch (1992), BBC's pseudo-documentary that scared a nation.
Colin's escape attempt failed, and he's back to making sure Paul behaves himself. This time we've got our dancing shoes on and we're ready to groove with the heavy sounds of, Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984), the cult American musical starring Pia Zadora and Craig Sheffer. Along the way Colin reminiscences about Dusty Bin, Paul reveals his future Vegas act, and they both help the environment by recycling old jokes.
While Colin's away, Dave has stepped in as Paul's carer. Can he manage to keep Paul on point as they discuss the American TV series, Tour of Duty (1987-1990)? Find out in another fun-filled episode (not guaranteed).
In this episode we're haunting the archives of ITC and checking out the cult 1969 TV show, Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). Along the way Paul promises to haunt Colin for the next 100 years, Colin informs Paul where he's headed, and we come up with our own reboot ideas.
Tune in and drop out to another episode of Retrospection. This time we're dialing in a request to Jack 'Nighthawk' Killian, better known as the cop turned radio talks how host on, Midnight Caller, an American drama series that ran from 1988 to 1991.
Along the way Paul tries more of his jokes, Colin thinks he should start charging for all the therapy he's providing Paul, and we muse upon just who the assassin in the story really is. Join us you won't regret it, well, you might just a little bit.
Are we red hot or chilled to the bone about, "Stone Cold", an American action-packed, two-wheeler of a classic from 1991. Well, unleash that throttle because it's another episode of Retrospection. Along the way Paul reveals his anxiety over office toys, Colin is horrified by Paul wanting to go topless, and we both wonder what biker gangs really do for fun.
In this special edition of Retrospection we're handing hosting duties over to James, and setting our traps for, The Real Ghostbusters (1986-1991). Along the way James talks about his favorite cartoons, Colin gives Paul his own theme tune, and we wonder about the origins of Slimer.
