    Episode 10 - Halloween

    Pumpkins, bin-bag costumes, plastic witches’ fingers and the night the BBC traumatised the entire nation with Ghostwatch. We’re rewinding to an era of apple bobbing, Halloween make-up with the consistency of lard, masks that would slice your face, and trying to convince your parents to rent The Exorcist from Blockbuster.

    Episode 8 - Summer Holidays

    Hosepipe bans, Choc Ices and six weeks that felt like an entire year.

    Episode 7 - The TV That Raised Us

    Big box TVs, Saturday morning cereal and the crushing trauma of the Sunday Night Scaries.
