First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on August 27th 2023

Like a lot of other archive TV fans, over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of Telly-related ephemera, much of which seems destined to sit around undisturbed in dark corners of the house waiting for me to notice that it’s there.

Anyway, in a recent rare moment of churning, I randomly picked up a copy of the RADIO TIMES that was in a festering stack in a forgotten corner of the room. That particular edition was dated 24 – 30 AUGUST 1996, and, because it had STAR TREK on the cover, I thought it might be fun to whizz through it with WARREN CUMMINGS, and so I gave him a call, and I think you’ll find the next hour quite a lot of fun as we natter about pretty much everything from Cabbage patch dolls to Bilbo Baggins, Sister Wendy and the Saturday Banana, and all manner of television that was broadcast across one not quite forgotten August Bank Holiday weekend over a quarter of a century ago.

PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition. All the spoken word content remains (mostly) as it was in the broadcast version. Hopefully this won't spoil your enjoyment of the show.
