He could have played a young Freddie Mercury in those days. He has that look about him.

That's my band The Rock Doctors back in the day! Do you have the whole episode you can upload as Bonn Scottish was a banging tune we wrote for this show?

[@squidssvids]

@@SimonPettitt-pb9fz sorry just seen this. I certainly did have the whole show but I’m not certain if I have that anymore - if I do find it I’ll upload it but I don’t have a working VHS machine at the moment.

Whys borat talking in a british accent?

[@jonathanphillips967]

ok, so many questions! Back in the mid-90s, I was a hack in student politics in Bristol and I have an incredibly vague memory of being on a cheap cable TV show which I could have sworn was hosted by Sacha B C. So was this filmed in Bristol at all/ever ... vaguely, it might have been Paintworks or the car park of HTV on Bath Road. Was that Pump TV?

[@squidssvids]

Hi This particular show was made in Langley near Slough on an industrial estate. However, the people behind it had something to do with HTV and I think they did a similar show in Bristol. It may well be Sasha also did presenting there but I don’t know about that.

[@ultraviolent]

You might be talking about F2F, unsure of where that was filmed but also hosted by Sacha

[@sameaster5150]

very nice

[@emilynaismith987]

Hiya, my parents were on an episode of this show (or so they say!). Do you have any other clips at all? Or do you know anywhere I could find some? Thank you, really hope you see this!

[@squidssvids]

Hi Emily, sorry this is the only episode I have, which I kept because I was operating the main camera that day. I would think it’s unlikely many episodes exist now as it was a very small cable company , it would only exist if someone else had kept a copy themselves as I doubt there’s an archive. Sorry I can’t be of more help.

[@amanloop]

Sacha's always the raver

[@zia6620]

What was Sacha like to work with? Do you have any more vids of this show?

[@squidssvids]

I didn’t really know him very well. We would turn up one day a week and there was not really any rehearsal so just straight into the programme more or less. We were all volunteers except Sasha I believe got paid. Good fun days ...

[@zia6620]

@@squidssvids wow how awesome! Do you feel like you were part of something history making with this? If you do have any stories or memories you can share I would be very interested. Sacha is kind of my favourite actor 😂

[@Vaibhav_Kumar_2003]

@Zia I've encountered you on almost every sacha historic video. I reckon just like me you also want to delve into his personality and know him off-stage

[@zia6620]

@@Vaibhav_Kumar_2003 Haha yep pretty much. He's my hero. One of the funniest and smartest men in the world in my opinion. Crazy to see him in his youth like any normal British youngster.

[@Vaibhav_Kumar_2003]

@@zia6620 not Just British youth the whole world is magnetised by his classy spontaneous humour. I'm from India though

[@user-yz9kz6vt9y]

This is a bit reminiscent of Bruno's pilot show.
