A proposito di questo titolo

We're Luke & John, two mates who've been working behind the scenes in television for nearly fifty years between us, trying to crack its secret. We're on a mission to create the dream schedule for our very own TV station, Cracking TV.

In each episode we'll be talking about classic shows from a particular genre, picking one to fill a slot in our schedule. We're going to find the ultimate programmes for the ultimate TV channel.

We'll take it in turns to be the commissioner and the pitcher; the pitcher will bring a number of shows in the hope of scoring that big commission. However, the commissioner's already got a first-rate show in mind. Will the pitcher successfully get one of his shows commissioned, or will he fail and suffer the embarrassment of being thrown out of the commissioner’s office in disgrace?

    Teatime Gameshows Part 2

    Luke's pitching more teatime game shows, and he's bringing out the big guns: perhaps the best quizzers in the world in Eggheads; and arguably the greatest TV format deviser, Richard Osman with his House

    of Games. And, erm, 100% and Whittle. Well it can't all be gold.

    Our rather marvellous theme tune was written and performed by Simon McInerney.

    Teatime Gameshows Part 1
    Apr 14 2026

    Game shows are back - and this time it's personal.

    Luke is pretty desperate to get a game show commissioned. Having failed with morning and afternoon slots, he's now pitching for teatime - the home of Blockbusters, Eggheads, The Chase, Pointless, and The Weakest Link.

    But if you think Anne Robinson's mean, wait till you hear what Luke's about to do. John once made a fool of himself on TV in front of millions of people, and he's managed to keep it secret for 25 years... but if anyone can find the footage, it's Luke. Surely Luke wouldn't use it to embarrass John - would he?

    Who killed Top of the Pops?

    We leap into the 21st century… as TOTP is heads towards its doom.

    John will pitch the Chris Cowey, Andi Peters and Mark Cooper eras.

    And Luke must choose the best era of all.

    John has nine chances to win — surely he can’t fail this time?
