After this, the recording stops with the start of Hollyoaks.
The next recording is a new episode of Moving Wallpaper.
The start of this episode is missing here. A storyline has been leaked, so Nancy is lurking around the office.
Something happened earlier between Jonathan and Sam, and he’s obsessing about it so much that he tells the whole office what happened, including him prematurely ejaculating.
At one point he strips off in the office. How this production hasn’t been shut down I do not know.
And he goes down to the studio to punch the actor who leaked the storylines.
Media Centre Description: Jonathan can’t admit he has feelings for Sam, and is embarrassed when an intimate moment between them is ruined. Nancy is furious that a storyline has been leaked to the press and insists on hanging around to keep an eye on things. To make things worse, Jonathan’s paranoia causes him to announce the details of his encounter with Sam to the entire team.

The next recording starts with the end of All White In Barking. Which does, indeed, seem to be a programme all about old racists. “What happens if Africans come here, Dave?” “Africans. Foreigners.” “Where are you going to go if they come here?” He points at the sea. “In there. In the fucking drink.”
Then, the only part of Sport Relief I’ve recorded.
It’s Top Gear Ground Force or is that Top Ground Gear Force.
This one is chaotic even by their own standards. I know their thing is that it’s not really real, but they’re not even pretending here.
James May’s shed is a particular target.
Jeremy blows up Sir Steve Redgrave’s water feature.
He very proud of his water feature.
Hammond tries to use a jet engine to barbecue chicken.
Sir Steve Redgrave is not happy. They swear that he didn’t know any of this was happening.
Once Jeremy has spoken to him in private, he seems a bit happier. I presume they explained that the crew were going to make everything right in the garden after filming has finished.
Here’s the whole thing.
Media Centre Description: The Top Gear team of James May, Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond swap the steering wheel for the shovel as they embark on a Ground Force style makeover challenge as part of Sport Relief.

The final recording overlaps with the previous one. It’s another repeat of Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Game.
