The brainchild of former Vicious Boy Angelo Abela, this late-night Yorkshire Television comedy series grew out of his visit to the Edinburgh Festival.
Premiering on Sunday 26 July 1992, the series spoofed all manner of television shows, including Baywatch (“Crotchwatch”), Bottom (“Buttocks”), Casualty (“Quacks”), Golden Girls (“Golden Curls”), Coronation Street (“The Northerners”), and Thirtysomething (“Yuppiesomething”).
The eight-strong regular cast comprised Abela, Gabrielle Cowburn, Andrew Dunn, Treva Etienne (from London’s Burning), Lucinda Fisher, Caroline Gruber, Phil Nice and Geraldine McNulty.
Guest stars included Eric Sykes, Nicholas Parsons, Tony Blackburn, Jim Bowen, Patrick Moore, Michelle Collins, EastEndersstar John Altman, Anne Diamond, darts ace Jocky Wilson and John Conteh.
