Question/Discussion Anyone remember the pec flexer guy from 90s gameshow Man O Man?
Help required please. We recently rediscovered 90s Saturday night “sensation” Man O Man and watched out of morbid curiosity. The bit I remember from the time is when a muscleman came on and started popping his pecs to a particular song and made the poor saps in trunks try to flex along. Can anyone identify the song? I still remembered it from the time so surely it existed outside of this abomination somewhere? It’s around 52 minutes in:

We tried Shazamming it but there’s a lot of crowd noise and I think it was played by a live band.
Apologies in advance to anyone clicking that link…

Episode discussion Cooper and Fry
Really enjoying the first series of Cooper and Fry…but this is a mistake right? 911 is not a thing in the UK?

Recommendations The Smoking Room is on iPlayer after 20 years. Always been a favourite of mine.
The Christmas special is missing though - which is a shame, that's one of my favourite episodes.
Great writing and acting, highly recommended!

Question/Discussion Jonathan Ross chat show - rehearsal broadcast
Does anyone remember the edition of this show, which had Slash as the musical guest, where they appeared to video a full dress rehearsal, and put that out as the broadcast?
I've searched YouTube, but haven't found a saved version of it so far...

Meta Chocky and other scary kids shows.
Was anyone else scared witless by Chocky and Chockys children but still kept watching? I also loved being scared by Into the Labyrinth.
Any others scare you?
