    Matt and Dawn travel back to August 1999 to look at the TV landscape. They review Jimmy Mcgovern's single drama Dockers which starred Ken Stott and Ricky Tomlinson unwittingly caught up in a strike. That's a little obscure but it gets more unknown from there. Channel 4 docusoap Love in Leeds and drama series Love in the 21st Century as well as ITV's bizarre choice to show Walking on the Moon, a brutal bullying drama on Bank Holiday Monday.

    Dawn's truly impressive cheesy pop knowledge is in full display as Matt tests her on two Summer charts and the pair reminisce about their first festival and clubbing.
