Zig and Zag! Waaaayne Hemingway! Trevor Bayliss! Denise van Outen! Vanessa Feltz! Streaky Bacon! The Bigger Breakfast during the school holidays!
Used to love it. Very big part of my younger years. Those mental games they used to play; ‘More Tea Vicar’ etc! Brilliant. I’d probably watch about 10 minutes of it now and find it’s aged horribly but I don’t really care.
Remember it pretty fondly, remember my parents and us kids all laughing it. Don’t remember the Paula Yates era, it’s Jonny Vaughan and Denise / Jonny and Liza Tarbuck I remember.
Mike “Squeaky” McClean on the doorstep was always good value. Lots of funny bits I remember, like going to some commuter town and offering people a luxury limo commute, if they played musical chairs to win it, and these people in suits absolutely trying to fuck each other up.
I’ve just remembered that they played my suggestions! You could write in with 2 songs they should play and I did and they did it! Beetlebum and Ready Or Not by The Fugees fwiw.
The show was fucking carnage – the most insane 90s post-Britpop mess every single morning and I absolutely loved it. Most of the quizzes, sections and ideas they had were almost certainly scribbled on the back of a napkin in the pub.
Have fond memories of staying up late to watch the one they did to see in the Millennium too.
