About this listen

Matt and Luke hop back aboard their TV Time Machine to look at the TV landscape of April 2000. On ITV, there's comedy Bob Martin, starring Michael Barrymore who somewhat spoofs his own career as a narcistic game show Bob Martin. On the BBC Two, Louis Theroux gets to know Jimmy Saville in a documentary that has come to dominate Theroux's career. On Channel 4, there's Paul Abbott's bold but baffling two-part drama, The Secret Life of Michael Fry about a council worker who finds himself out of his depth in a Welsh town. Finally, Luke gets quizzed on the charts of the time.
