Bad Influence! 90's gaming TV Show

https://youtu.be/ZtJ199Z8SQM In the early 90's ITV in the UK broadcast a TV show aimed at teens featuring all the latest news and tips on video games. Unlike Dominic Diamond's innuendo laden 'Gamesmaster' this clean cut show was likened to 'Tomorrow's World for Kids'. Hosted by goody two shoes Andy Crane who promised 'moving screenshots from all the latest game' probably hinted that he wasn't a hardened gamer. His co-host Violet Berlin with a short white blonde haircut she was the heart-throb for all those nerdy schoolboys, she is 'Violet' in the Micro Machines 2 game. As well as being in the studio dressed up like a cheap Dr Who set, they also had items from the US by a 'cool' dude Called Z Wright. Overacting in cyber gloves and VR headsets was supposed to give it the street cred but was a bit too corny. Interrupting the proceedings was an anarchic character Nam Rood, hiding in a shed giving tips on game cheats, a doorman into the back of the games. Nam Rood - Door Man backwards ...get it? #AndyCrane #CITV #VioletBerlin
