Issue 274

I haven't been on the telly for about six years and the radio for five. I am very much what some people might call a 'has been'. But to quote Shakespeare, “Better to be a has been than a never was.” I still have tiny bits of I'm A Celebrity magic dust in my hair and every now and then I give my head a wobble and get really sweet gigs. One of them happened a couple of weeks ago when Chris Wilkins invited me to host a Q&A at his ZZAP!64 event in Kenilworth. I've written before about the lovely vibe at these meets.

Do you like Worms?

Loads of middle-aged neurodivergent men all trying not to make eye contact. Most of them are bald while at 52 I have a very fine head of hair and can stride through the rooms like a king with a full mane. I always enjoy going to retro days and I dig almost all of the chats I have with people... except the guy who just wanted to letch about Daisy Donovan. Not cool man.

This time I was invited to interview Andy Davidson and Stuart Cook – two programming heroes from the good ol' days. Stuart was responsible for Chopper Commander, Circus Circus and loads more. Really lovely chap and fun to chat with.

The Bat Man of Best Buy

There was a time, before online preorders, when a console launch felt like a holiday. You circled the date on the calendar, started saving up your money and cleared your schedule as if the whole thing was a proper vacation. And back then, scarcity wasn't much of a concern. As long as you had a retailer nearby and some patience, you had a fair shot. Then came the Flippers.
