Welcome one, welcome all! It's Episode 9 of You Bet Pod - and you find us deep in the 1990's - specifically 18th March 1995! In a year that saw the OJ Simpson trial, the collapse of Barings Bank and Eric Cantona decided to kung fu kick a football fan - it was all going on. 

On top of that, was this episode of You Bet, with Matthew Kelly as host, and celebrity guests of Jim Bowen, Gemma Craven, Gordon Burns and John Altman. 

The challenges are bonkers as well (a car that skids to try to hit a ball and score a goal!?) as we take a deep dive on this wonderful episode.

📕 We revel in delight at the name of Frazer Hines's autobiography

As ever, the challenges are as mad as ever, including two men driving coaches whilst trying to pour a glass of wine using a lever attached to the vehicle. You have to see it to believe it!
