Not Faulty, Just Blank

Backwater Channels Studios

Being born in the late 1970s, they believe that the 1990s was the last truly great decade but can you remember what was popular in music, film and TV? Do you recall your first love, bunking off school, music festivals and more? Join James, Phil & Rich - friends of more than 30 years - as, every episode, they discuss and reminisce about a single year. Was growing up in the 90s really as good as they remember it? Did it improve in the 00s? Take a hilarious trip down memory lane with 3 Essex Boys, several beers, lots of wine gums and just a few scribbled notes to guide them. Their minds are willing but are they able? They're Not Faulty, Just Blank.
