Episodes
1. The Social Network Vs Mums5m ยท Stuart 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.
2. Health Care and Bacon5m ยท The 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?
3. Charlie Sheen and the Pirates5m ยท Charlie 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?
4. Nostalgia and Youth Unemployment5m ยท Now 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!
5. Viz and Electric Romance5m ยท Stuart opens up about the sprite who broke his heart while Karen goes wild in the country. And after a series of Back Space to hone his lightsaber skills Stuart steps it up a gear in order to bring Viz legend and part time Sith Lord Simon Donald to heel.
