Big box TVs, Saturday morning cereal and the crushing trauma of the Sunday Night Scaries. We rewind to a time when you couldn't skip the ads, faking a sick day meant a date with Richard and Judy and the only thing more powerful than a Blue Peter badge was the static coming off the screen. We’re revisiting the TV that raised us and reflecting on how 4 channels gave us more magic than the infinite scroll of today.

A deep dive into the manual labour of being a music fan before the digital age. From performing ‘pencil surgery’ on mangled cassettes to the sheer frustration of a skipping Discman. We’re revisiting the era of recording the Top 40 off the radio, the unhinged chaos of The Brits, and the sacred Saturday ritual of browsing Woolworths for a CD single. Expect the Take That Helpline, Steps dance routines, and the monumental effort of a time when music was a cardio workout.
