It turns out that Dara O Briain’s Go 8 Bit<\/strong><\/a> is pretty much an immediate hit for Dave with the first episode last night really not far off what a first-run of Taskmaster<\/strong> (new series starts October 4th)\u00a0gets, and some presentational issues aside I’m pleased for everybody involved.<\/p>\n

Anyway I went on Youtube last night and it recommended Games World<\/strong> to me. I used to love watching this growing up, a weeknightly\u00a0video games show on Sky One. The week’s main events were The Eliminator<\/em> (on Mondays and from the second series Mondays and Wednesdays) and then Beat the Elite<\/em> on Fridays, where the Eliminator winners would take on the Videators (i.e. researchers they’ve put in costumes) to try and get as high as possible on the all important leaderboard.<\/p>\n

And it’s still not bad today, carried as it is by Bob Mills in one of his earliest TV jobs (he tends to stick to radio these days) as ringmaster taking the piss out of moody twelve year-olds and in this special episode games journalists:<\/p>\n
