Luke and Matt board the TV Time Machine to view the TV landscape of March 2000. Ross Kemp signs a 'golden handcuffs deal' with ITV to work for solely for that broadcaster. The result, at least initially, is a single drama entitled Hero of the Hour, which stars Kemp as a security guard who unwittingly becomes a hero when he foils a robbery.

On the BBC, Reeves and Mortimer revive classic TV show Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) whilst on Channel 4, they're still pushing boundaries with their comedy output. Firstly, a new project from Chris Morris, JAM, which plays more as an uncomfortable art piece than it does a comedy. Meanwhile, fresh from his debut on the 11'o'clock show, Sacha Baron Cohen's comedy creation Ali G gets his own show.

It's a mixed bag of shows.

Mo Walker and Dawn Glen join Matt to review four new shows available this week. On Netflix, Jack Thorne's tackles the little-known story of what happened to mothers who gave birth to babies with birth defects in the Northamptonshire town of Corby in four-part drama Toxic Town. Channel 4 has new crime drama, Get Millie Black, which sees a British African detective head back to Africa to track down her trans sister whilst also investigating the case of a missing girl. Alibi has their own take on '80s mainstay Bergerac and over on Sky and NOWTV, there's quirky comedy drama Small Town Big Story from Chris O'Dowd.

Matt and Luke hop aboard their TV Time Machine to view the TV landscape of February 2000. EastEnders turns 15 with a double episode which sees the residents of Albert Square locked in the Vic when an unexploded WW2 bomb discovered nearby.

The BBC try their at a traditonal American sitcom, with audience laughter and a team of writers producing the Ardal O'Hanlan superhero comedy My Hero. In better comedy, a fresh-faced, but very astute and already polished northern comedian, Peter Kay gets his first full series in Channel 4's That Peter Kay Thing. The series, in which Kay plays a variety of different characters, is done in the docusoap style popular at the time, and the lads watch two episodes of the series. The first of which would become Kay's hit sitcom, Phoenix Nights.

Lastly, there's gritty drama Nature Boy, which aired on the BBC and starred Lee Ingelby as a teen who was living in an abusive foster environment who finds he has an affinity with wildlife.

And, as always, Matt tests Luke's knowledge of the UK music scene of the time.
