It'll Be Alright In The Nineties - S4 E3 - Nancy Lam's Beano Apron (Channel 5 Launch)

Here at IBAITN HQ, Geoff is still refusing to pay for satellite TV in the office. It's something to do with the lodge's subscription to the fishing channel needing to take preference, apparently. Anyway, this sorry situation has at least prompted us to take a look at the last great terrestrial TV landmark of the 90s, as we investigate the genesis and launch of Channel 5 in March 1997.

Tune in to find out which former England rugby union captain Alex is personally linked with, which newsreader appears to have disappeared off the face of the earth, and which Channel 5 presenter scolded a crying student live on TV after they had opened their exam results (we think)?

Also this time: Alex's new mortgage! Loads of corrections! The return of the Cadbury's Fuse! And much, much more...

You can watch the full Channel 5 launch programme, along with some more content from its debut night, here
