I thought (hoped) you were on about Baaadaasss TV with Ice T off Channel 4 from that blurb as opposed to something else.  Baaadass TV was ace. Edited December 17, 2020 by PowerButchi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The host was a comedian who acted and was dressed like an old guy. There was a dating segment on there too where they’d call out audience members names to take part and a hype guy would go into the audience to get them while giving them a hip hop type name. For instance a Carl McCoy would be called and he’d be all like “Yo I’m looking for Da Real McCoy, get yoself down here” This is from your description and a very vague memory, I think either 291 Club or Get Up, Stand Up. I read an excellent article recently about black comedy in the 90s, I'll see if I can find it for you.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still as batshit crazy as I remember. I've signed up to the few britbox trial to watch Box of Delights over Christmas so I don't have to plug the DVD player in, I'd had a look round and but seen anything else to watch, u didn't realise the Prisoner was on there, that's excellent news I'll blitz them on my days off work.

Gaytime TV. Which in Rhosymedre Junior School in about 1995 turned into calling classmates "The host of Gaytime TV" or the simple but brilliant "Mr Gaytime TV". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The show I was on about was called “Desmonds”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
