There's a super secret evil out there and so Max and Terry create a super secret spy team to combat it. So up step Hunter from Gladiators, angel-voiced Martine McCutcheon, and man-off-the-telly Ralf Little to save the day with edgy action TV but in an ITC-style for the 21st century.
We'll also find out about Terry's friendship with former head of MI5 Dame Stella Rimington, cheesy mozzarella bites and how to anger Robert Powell.

Welcome to the first in a semi-regular series of bite sized lectures from Max Buffer. A taste of what you can expect should you hire him to speak at your college, university or polytechnic. This week Max discusses the Yogi Bear Effect, a well known storytelling trick employed by masters of the media to create complex characters where what is a good guy is a bad guy and what is a bad guy is a good guy. So, get your pencils and jotters at the ready to begin your media education.

It's Autumn. And you know what that means. Yes, new TV budgets. Max and Terry advise on how best to spend the cash. So, roll out the cobbles, cover the kids in authentic dirt and prepare your cap for doffing as we enter a world of costume drama serials set in your actual interwar period. Along the way we'll meet the Snow brother that Jon and Peter don't like to mention, stumble around Gary Wilmot's blanket and enjoy some lovely scones sent in by Melina Hope.
