Everyone has got to sign this, there's a note from the producer who makes it sound quite likely as they still own the rights to the show.

Some of you kids may be too young to remember it but it was absolutely hilarious, Dominik Diamond was a fantastic presenter who seemed to get away with anything. Only decent games program we've ever had.

Violet Berlin presents a computer game show on Bravo (Game Pad) - actually haven't seen it for a while, used to be on at 6.30pm, it may have been canned ? - her bleached flat-top has gone by the way, hair is now a sensible brown.

Actually that Thumb-bandits thing was OK, but it was on far too late. It's definitely an after-tea kind of vibe with these programs.

It's amazing how there was actually better videogame shows when gaming was considered only for socially-inept, spotty nerds then there is today when it's meant to be cool. I don't think there's any videogame related shows that are any good today:

Game-pad3 is still stuck in about May 2002 reviewing Final Fantasy X

Lan-Jam or whatever is a bunch of little kids smashing their chocolate stained fingers on the joypad hoping in some way that'll beat their rival and if they don't win they sulk in their chair getting ready to burst out in tears when the cameras go off. (Just watch them when they are playing fighting games. The definition of cheesy players right there)

SFG (i think that's its name) on Sci-Fi is alright but there isn't much content.


and i don't remember seeing anything else on any channels so yes indeedy i shall sign the petition to bring the mighty gamesmaster back and preferably with original cast and not some *hilarious, new generation* presenter.

Thats a bit of an exageration i think, but i know what you mean. They film a series which is really short (something like 10 - 20 shows) and repeat it over and over again. So in about two weeks you have watched the whole series and its gets boring to watch because they are all repeats. Its an OK show but they should make it a regular show, not divided into series'.
