This show takes aim at the television talk programme and The Marvin Bint Programme contains a fairly brutal parody (by Tim) of the king of the genre, David Frost. Given that Frost was also Executive Producer of the 1948 Show this was very much a case of biting the hand that feeds you, though it also demonstrates the freedom Frost allowed his proteges to express themselves. Elsewhere, Marty gives us another of his employees being taken to task for their misdemeanours in the shape of a confrontation between a football club chairman (Graham) and a wayward footballer, which is so spot-on it could have been written yesterday.
