It's time for some more footage from the archives again from Episodes 37 - 42 and some of our expansion packs around that era.  In this batch Craig David makes an appearance, Kerley keeps bashing Lacerdas only playing just one of the designs, some behind the scenes Essen nonsense, Rob gets caught watching football whilst recording an episode and ever wondered what the cross over between Star Wars and Coronation Street sounds like? We apologise in advance...

THE PLAYERS: All of us
