I belive it's been running for quitte a while now. In the 90's it also used to be on Dutch TV. With a Dutch voice-over obv.

It's been on for as long as i can remember. At least 10 years i'm sure. Infact i'm sure i used to watch Cybernet and Bad Influence in the same week when i was younger. Now Bad Influence was a show!!

It's still made in 4:3 and is credited to Yorkshire Television too.

No sorry i was talking about Cybernet. Bad Influence finished in 1996 I think.

Violet Berlin was still doing Gamepad on Bravo, but i think that's been cancelled now. And Andy I think works on a local Manchester TV station.

Shame I like watching Violet Berlin, I think she is still doing Gamepad on Bravo, but not sure if there was any new ones been made, shame if it's axed.

I remember watching Bad Influence as a kid, oooh lets review the latest games on the SNES, ooh I feel old now Sad

Great to hear Andy Crane(oops) is still on TV though.

It's Andy Crane, not Andy Gray and if you are fortunate enough to view Manchester's Channel M, he presents the main Channel M News, though considering he isn't a journalist, he isn't too bad at it.

Isn't Violet Berlin married to Gaz 'Top' Jones?

Sorry about that, so many Andy's in my head at one time.

I think Violet is married but I don't know if it's to Gareth Jones

EDIT: Indeed she is, Gareth's got his very own website Very Happy

Yup Gareth Jones also directed Gamepad too. You could see him in the odd episode as well.

The great thing about Bad Influence was even though it was on CITV it treated the gamers like adults, and even talked to them seriously occasionally about things like Piracy. I remember an exact line from Bad Influence when they were talking about Piracy, they said that Console cartridges were being copied and sold off, but that the manufacturers are fighting back with CDs, which are IMPOSSIBLE to copy. Makes you laugh now don't it!?

It sure does Laughing

I remember it was quite a big thing for some reason, IIRC it even had a page dedicated to BAD Influence in the Daily Mirror's TV Weekly section.
