S1E2 - Remake Remodel

S1E3 - The Right Profile
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.

S1E4 - The Kick Inside
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.

S1E5 - This Is A Low

S1E6 - Collapse into Now
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?
