Well, here it is.

Christmas 1996 saw GamesMaster do their first - and last - xmas quiz with a challenge on Super Mario 64 to determine the best games player of them all. What could possibly go wrong?

Strap yourselves in for the deep dive on THAT GamesMaster episode.

Independence Day UK (Feat. Dirk Maggs)

(( BEST EXPERIENCED IN STEREO ))

Luke & Ash skip back to the summer of 1996 for a spot of UFO watching with Patrick Moore and Nicky Campbell, but are we watching them or are they watching us?

Covering the BBC 1 Radio Drama Independence Day UK, this episode incorporates a little look at the early history of full cast audio dramas and an hour long interview with writer, director and producer of Independence Day UK, Dirk Maggs. We cover his career leading up to 1996, the appropriate etiquette regarding wearing cowboy boots in a Spitfire, and what exactly Peter Serafinowicz thought Patrick Moore was doing to an alien.
