Episode 1: Back Space Competition Entry: squirrelsignal
2011-04-06My entry for Ashen's competition in which you had to remix Backspace episode 5 in to a skit under 20 seconds. I work really hard on it... notice I even managed to remove Karen from the background as she was a continuity error. You see in one clip she wasn't wearing a hat and in the other, she was... well... I had to try my best, it's Ashens Youtube link: https://youtu.be/VKoio3TL4f8

Runtime: 1 minEpisode 3: Stuart Ashen interviews Sid the Sexist: Back Space Competition Entry
2011-04-16Owner of a dirty mind! Sid's actually holding a cricket bat bearing the slogan of Slazenger, who declined to have their logo appear in such a degrading internet show. My other two entries, at the Retro Yakkage channel, are miles better, this one was just a mess about. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/O8g-QkwUUw8

2011-04-17Fartpants. That is all. Actually, that's not all - I'me very sorry if you're offended by the word 'cunt'. Well, I'm not sorry, but y'know. Many thanks to Dr Ashen for making the competition so damn tricky; it was a fun challenge! Youtube link: https://youtu.be/t0M-Qt1X3rc

Episode 1: The Social Network Vs Mums
2011-02-25Stuart Ashen and Karen Hayley present their technology review show. With a film about Facebook up for an Oscar, they take a look at the latest blockbuster to cash in on The Social Network phenomenon. And for anyone who's ever thought Question Time would be much improved with the addition of near-fatal gladiatorial violence, Stuart interviews game design legend Ste Pickford of the Pickford Brothers...while trying to kill him with a light sabre.

2011-03-04The country is in the red and the NHS can't afford a cure, Stuart and Karen have a look at where all the money's gone. Stuart examines just how accurately a TV can predict his viewing habits and we ask the question: can you cook breakfast on a smart phone?
Runtime: 5 minEpisode 3: Charlie Sheen and the Pirates
2011-03-11Charlie Sheen is on a drug called Charlie Sheen (what are the odds?) prompting Stuart and Karen to take a look inside the heads of the rich and play with the demented rats they discover running around in there. And with the music industry torn between bankruptcy and Jessie J in a glitter wig is piracy really such a bad thing?
Runtime: 5 minEpisode 4: Nostalgia and Youth Unemployment
2011-03-18Now that no one can read a map, agree to meet at a specific time and place or concentrate for more than 140 characters, Stuart and Karen take a trip down memory lane to a more innocent time of buying grot from newsagents and not knowing the specifics of what your mates had for tea. Meanwhile, Back Space papers over the cracks of youth unemployment by taking on Sophie the Work Experience girl. Woof!
