Home Advent Calendar 2018 Day 22: Gone Live!, 1993

The last pre-recorded special Going Live! did (yes, we know Live & Kicking was in place by Christmas 1993 but this was actually shown on 2nd January and we're sticklers for accuracy) has turned up in the interim. The video quality is really quite poor early on but do stick with it as Nelson Polo and Horatio Mint, the investigative team known as The Looking Eye, examine television itself, make a mess of BBC TV, give Pip a disturbingly accurate vision of his comfortable daytime future and - Saturday morning kids' TV, remember - spoof The Word. George Takei, Judith Hann, Gayle and Gillian Blakeney, The Farm and Run The Risk fit in somewhere between.
