It was always a tad awkward how they attempted to link the Midweek Lottery Draw into the Saturday quiz show, when it most cases it had very little connection. Here you've got the winners from last Saturday turning up and 12 Yard producing it. It was more logical in my eyes when they separated it.

TV:am coverage of the Marchioness disaster, 20th August 1989.

Great find, including Deadly's funny comments about wanting to burp. I miss Alan Dedicoat on Radio 2 and his banter with the great Togmeister (Deadly Alancoat as El Tel called him).

I'd forgotten about this, Alexei Sayles Walt Disney spoof. All together now: A-L-E X-E-I S-A-Y-L-E....
