The James Whale show was pretty out there. Seem to remember discovering some good bands off the live set they had on.
That was mentioned earlier, Raw Power. It was formerly the Power Hour IIRC. Krusher is still with us, he’s a mate of someone on STW’s dad IIRC. As I remember it the main presenter was Phil Alexander, with Krusher having a segment in the middle of it.
The blonde lass was named Ann Kirk I believe.
oooh this isnt the one i remember. dont recognise him at all, nor her name.
im thinking of something else so i need to go a-googling.
found it, and..... we're both right 😀
it was indeed the power hour that i can remember, but it was 'dante' and amanda redington that i was thinking of. seems a bit spooky that i quoted the name 'crusher' because that wasnt who i was thinking of and i dont think i ever watched it when it became raw power.
The other female presenter was Nikki Groocock. She's the one everyone probably remembers, likely down to nominative determinism. I don't remember "Dante" at all.
Was this Amanda?
Was this Amanda?
i dont think so. i remember long, blond hair but i dont recognise the face. i cant see a pic of her that i recognise on google, altho i do recognise her name now ive found it.
I seem to remember the blonde woman from Raw Power always wearing a red leather jacket?
And Bouff! One of the others was Dr.Alex Krotowski who's regularly on R4 these days.
Was there a kids sat morning show “big mouth?” That had a presenter who’s previous work was Rita, Sue and Bob too.
Motormouth, possibly presented by Violet Berlin?
EDIT: Ah, no Gaby Roslin
There was Anne Kirk as well that copresented Noisy Mothers with Kruser. I don't care if Phil Anselmo's a nazi, Walk will always have a special place in my brain. Duh duh duhduhduh
What was the cabaret/comedy show with Things That Make You Go Hmm as the theme? Might have been Paramount City? I feel like Mark Thomas and Mark Lamarr might have been involved
Forgot Gamesmaster with Dominik Diamond’s continual ‘waggling his joystick’ immuendo.
Dominik Diamond brought that same "might flip out at any moment" energy to everything. They got him on newsnight once, he dialled in pissed and shouted "IT'S BLOODY THATCHER'S FAULT". And then his last tv show was an insane combative cookery show where 2 teams competed to win ingredients, steal ingredients from each other or, best of all, to inflict ingredients on the other team. All the time with Diamond cackling like the evil little goblin he definitely is, and basically going fight fight fight fight.

it wasnt part of somethings like Brainiac was it?
