Episode 2 - Remake Remodel

September. 28,2018

When the OGs of Saturday Morning step aside almost simultaneously, how do we fill the void? With piracy, capitalism, the absence of wrestling and suburban surrealism.

Episode 3 - The Right Profile

October. 05,2018

The BBC hit the nail on the head and begin over a decade of undisputed domination. ITV put their faith in a crazed, phlegmy alien, a slightly camp sheep, and Tony Gregory. Meanwhile, summers are full of sketch comedy, Madchester cool and exploding Blue Peter presenters.

Episode 4 - The Kick Inside

October. 12,2018

Winter to Spring, Saturday Mornings in the 90s belonged to the BBC and Live and Kicking. The Summers belonged to no-one, despite the fierce competition of various sheep, Time Lords and highland cattle. Meanwhile on ITV, a frog discussing urine worries Bugs Bunny.

Episode 5 - This Is A Low

October. 20,2018

With Zoe and Jamie at the helm, Live and Kicking becomes so massive that ITV has a complete breakdown. Not even a rubber-haired gurner, a puppet monkey or Andi Peters can save them, so what chance two Byker Grove refugees and a Brummie Amazon?

Episode 6 - Collapse into Now

October. 26,2018

Ant and Dec (and Cat) murder the BBC. Dani Behr fails to revive them. Celebrity chefs invade the SatAM slot and not even Holly Willoughby can stop them. A genre dies - or does it? Yes. Or doesn't it?
