Ah good memories. Like Matt Yellow, I lump this in with Knightmare, Bad Influence and the Crystal Maze as peak 90s kidult entertainment. I think the "kid" you mentioned might have been Edward Laurence aka Radion Automatic, a colleague of Julian 'Jaz' Rignall who wrote for Mean Machines magazine at the time. Regarding the "r-slur" - it's unfortunate, yes, and anyone saying that in the UK would get the side-eye, but I think its level of offence was actually imported from the US more recently - it wasn't really considered an ableist slur at the time in the UK I believe. FTR, I'm always rather shocked when Americans liberally use the word "spaz" - you just don't say that in Britain. Lovely episode btw. I will be rewatchint

In terms of GamesMaster magazine, just googling that term will bring up a reddit thread where someone scanned a bunch of early issues and put them in a Google drive folder, and they are truly incredible to behold.

So I am with Gary in that I am absolutely watching this whole show. I downloaded it from YouTube to add to my Plex server, and for some reason, every Season's thumbnail is a picture of Jeff Hardy with a GamesMaster logo.

Sounds like a lot of fun!

I watched this pretty much every week when it was broadcast on Channel 4, it's such a joy to hear you guys enjoying watching stuff like this and Knightmare. There was another UK video game show from around the same time called Bad Influence. It was more squarely aimed at kids and was far less weird and interesting than GamesMaster but it does have some eps up on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RqQFWvhPbo&list=PLa_XNUiwxkoGn4QkZza5ad970i9-coX4V&ab_channel=RetroPixels
