Ep.27 r2 — Zool — 10 October 1992

Before the boxes, a quick spin of what the radio was playing.

Sitting at the top of the singles list that week was Sleeping Satellite by Tasmin Archer.

It climbed from number three to the top of the official chart, and it was her first UK number one.

Uh, soft, a bit dreamy, and everywhere on Radio One.

Here's Sleeping Satellite.

With the eagles fly.

I blame you for the moonlit nights.

When I wonder why.

Are the seas still dry?

That still sounds like, uh, autumn evenings with the curtains half drawn, Lee.

Uh, you'd hear it drifting out of cars on the high street, then walk into a computer shop and get blasted by a completely different soundtrack.

I nearly nodded off in the research just now, which is not a great look before a blind date.

Please stay awake for the rest of the show.

If you start snoring over a ninja ant, I'm leaving you in the sweet world without a continue.

Speaking of Saturday night, the big mainstream appointment was Blind Date on ITV, uh, with Cilla Black asking if our Graham was gonna pick number one, two, or three.

Here's the Blind Date theme.

[upbeat music]

Those few notes meant [chuckles] the whole family was about to argue over who the girl should pick, Lee.

Dad pretended he wasn't watching, Mum had strong opinions, and somebody always shouted at the screen when the wrong bloke won.

For the kids' end of the dial, uh, Chucklevision was on that Saturday.

Series five, episode Up in the Air, with the Chuckle brothers trying to run a balloon business and failing in the usual cheerful way.

Hot air balloons and the Chuckle brothers is peak Saturday daytime.

Uh, you'd watch that, then wait for Blind Date later, and somehow both felt equally important at the time.
