Aliens invade New York... and Berkshire! Paul Daniels is impaled! And ghosts take over not one but two “live” BBC shows!

From Orson Welles to Inside Number 9, via the terrifying Ghostwatch, Luke and John discuss the greatest broadcast hoaxes.

Listeners of a nervous disposition should take care with this one - all is not as it seems in this spooky special.

Cracking TV is produced and presented by Luke Sluman and John Furlong.

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

Additional sound effects from zapsplat.com.

And Luke has a chance to pitch one more time... if he’s willing to accept John’s unusual terms.

Saturday People Shows Part 1

Cracking to see you, to see you... Cracking! Somewhat surprisingly Cracking TV's got a second series.

The big channels have been fighting over Saturday night for decades, and it’s time for Luke and John to join the fray. Where better to start than with Bruce Forsyth and the Generation Game?

Expect shocking deals, potter’s wheels, and of course a cuddly toy as the British TV industry goes to war.
