TV Time Machine #4: Christmas 1998: Men Behaving Badly, Louis’ Weird Christmas, Jonathan Creek, Paddington Green
from The Custard TV Podcast · host Luke Knowles
Matt and Luke board the TV Time Machine one final time this year to travel back to Christmas 1998. They watch the first of what would be Men Behaving Badly's final trilogy of Simon Nye's comedy starring Martin Clunes, Neil Morrissey, Caroline Quentin and Leslie Ash. It's actually a double helping of Caroline Quentin, as she pops up again, alongside Alan Davies in Black Canary - that year's Jonathan Creek Christmas Special. They also watch the Christmas special of Louis Theroux's Weird Weekends which brings together four very different contributors who Louis met in the first series of his series looking at little-known American subcultures. Finally, and possibly the most '90s of all the shows - they revisit the mostly forgotten 'docusoap' Paddington Green which debuted on BBC One over Christmas.
