    We're back, again, for yet another season of irreverent, political, subversive and downright rude viewpoints on everything in space and time from '63 to '89!

    There's been a referendum and it's a landslide victory. Greg's back on the front bench and we're on the back foot with a double-whammy commentary.

    In the Time Space Visualiser, it's parts 2 and 3 of Delta and the Bannermen.

    But what's all this got to do with raw meat, trucker caps, Roy Evans, Su Pollard and Squire guitars?

    We're going back to 1959 to reflect on contemporary culture in Dr Who. Was it on the button, or forever behind the times?

    But what's all this got to do with Hi-De-Hi, On the Buses and sweets from the EEC?
