Morning.

Got invited to a caravan for dinner by my friends over from Germany. In return, I introduced them to Allo Allo via YouTube!

I think Violet married the guy from How 2. The American woman is still writing about games for the Gaurdian I think. The one from Bits and Thumb Bandits.

Another show I remember and loved watching, Movies, Games & Videos. Oh and how could I forget Cybernet. Great stuff.

Oh I remember...I used to wach Game Pad! There's also Gamer TV done by Sam Delaney and someone else who I don't remember. It used to be on the Bravo channel.[/i]

Gamer TV is made by the same company that now makes PlayR on Showcase. Sam Delaney was the best thing about that show, once he went it was all downhill. He managed to be witty and downright rude about games and get away with it.

Bad Influence was great and Violet Berlin still writes about games every so often.

I'll take Dominic Diamond thankyou.

Bouff!

Bad Influence! (oh god Andy Crane)

Mr Vanilla

Thumb Bandits

The name is familiar but it's not registering.

Game-Pad

Think this one is still going at stupid o'clock in the morning.

There was another one. Cyber...something, it was on ITV at 4am in the morning.

Nah, I know the issue is electrical interference on the line, used to be pretty common a while back, was hoping the problem had gone, but it seems not. Not *too* worried about it.

That's quite a big change!
Have you raised a Support Ticket ?

Showcase channel (Sky and Freesat) has Playr and another game show. Playr has just started up again and even has its own website (http://playrhq.ning.com/)

@pb, oh dear then I better hit the car boot sales. Maybe as well as a neat present it will be an investment when they start selling for 20 pounds on ebay in 10 years. :) I wonder what I'll be able to get for my old Star Wars figures by then.

Oh and a PS2 would be a damn fine gift, so many great games to choose from.
