Let’s get rrrrrrrreaddddyyy to rhuuuuuuumble….

Our quest for the perfect live Saturday night show moves into the 21st century, as the new kings of TV, Ant and/or Dec, build on the House Party and Toothbrush formula - and arguably perfect it.

Luke is fighting hard to win the most important slot on Cracking TV. And for John, it’s the toughest decision yet.

Luke and John are still looking for the perfect live Saturday night show for their schedule.

As Noel’s House Party wanes, Channel 4 brings something totally different: a live anarchic and interactive show hosted by a sometime Radio 1 breakfast DJ with a bit of an ego and little patience for critics.

Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush was one of Luke and John’s favourites when they were teenagers but does it stand up today?

John has given Luke a very specific brief: a live Saturday night show, packed with unpredictable and exciting ideas and loads of audience interaction.

Naturally Luke’s first thought is Noel Edmonds. But will John be impressed by gunge, ageing Radio 1 DJs and of course the incredibly irritating Mr Blobby?

In the final part of their quest for a Saturday night people show, Luke and John move into the 90s with You Bet! and Barrymore.

It’s time for Luke to make his mind up - but not before some incredible stunts, outrageous antics, and a Brucie vs Barrymore rap battle. A’wight!

Luke and John’s search for the perfect Saturday Night people show moves into the 80s, as ITV roll out their big guns: Game For A Laugh and Blind Date.

Cars are crushed and hearts are broken as Beadle and Cilla dominate the decade. But will John persuade Luke to give him the commission? They’ll have a lorra lorra fun finding out.

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.

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.

It’s the last episode of Series 1 of Cracking TV, and Luke and John look at what’s in the schedule so far. We've got breakfast TV, sitcoms, music and more.

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