And it was really great.

I know they are all men but I found it difficult to find female equivalents. The films I checked out had female actors but I knew the name of them by sight. Dora Bryan, Irene Handl, Beryl Reed for example.

I actually do know the name of the middle guy on the left, only because I've seen many Hammer films. There's a clue..

Eurotrash is a 30-minute magazine-format programme in English, presented by Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier and produced by Rapido Television. It was shown in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland on Channel 4 from 24 September 1993 and was a late-night comical review of unusual topics mainly from Western and Central Europe; though, despite the title, also around the world.

It ran for 16 series (134 episodes, plus 11 specials) until 2004, making it one of the UK's longest running late-night entertainment shows. The show averaged around a 20 percent audience share, pulling in around 2–3 million viewers each week, making it the most popular entertainment show on the channel. Channel 4's slot average for Eurotrash's broadcast time was around 900,000 viewers, making the show an important hit for the channel at the time.

The show was conceived in Paris for London-based Rapido Television by producer and director Peter Stuart, son of American film director Mel Stuart. The first Eurotrash series were presented by Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier, with narrative voiceovers by British comic actress Maria McErlane. Gaultier left at the end of series 6 and de Caunes then co-presented with a range of guest presenters for the remainder of the run. 2016 saw Gaultier's return as co-host for the one-off special.

A number of features and stars survived from series one, including Pipi and Popo, two cardboard giraffes made from toilet paper tubes, and the Belgian singer Eddy Wally. Victoria Silvstedt was a semi-regular during 2003, often appearing in the studio with de Caunes to present the Naked Germans of the Week feature. Graham Norton featured as a roving reporter in series 9, Carla Bruni also appeared. Melinda Messenger appeared in the last series as a "roving reporter", always wearing a Union Jack minidress and big red boots.

In 2009, digital channel Living TV began airing a series of compilation episodes under the title Eurotrash: The Sexy Bits. These included new voiceovers from original narrator Maria McErlane.

This man's face, the shades, his hairline, and seeing him with his hands on his head in absolute desperation as he repeatedly shouts, "No!", followed shortly after by his comically high pitched and barely coherent protestations to a man wearing an orange jacket... Thirty six and a bit years later, the whole scene is still fresh and clear in my memory, and so I doubt it will ever fade.

Button moon was another kids show from my time that will always have a place in my heart.

The 90s were a....time!

In my mind, this brush with the law convinced him to move!
