First viewed : 31 August 1992
After a 20 minute programme on It's A Knockout , consisting of random clips from the series with no narrator ( presumably the compilers thought their awfulness would speak for itself ), TV Hell continued with The Official History of Hell which consisted of an A to Z of TV horrors. Some were no more than brief clips, including the infamous man who could jump on eggs from Nationwide, others featured contributions from producers and participants.
I remember a certain Mike Bolland cropping up twice . First he produced the Open Door episode from the early seventies which allowed a transient anarchist group the Albion Free State to make a programme. This consisted of a small tree being filmed for 15 minutes while someone recited their manifesto in a tone the tree itself would have been proud of. The following decade he was the man behind paedo-fest Mini-Pops on Channel Four.
The selection featured many old favourites which have cropped up repeatedly on list shows ( and here ) including Triangle, Sin on Saturday, the Pistols vs Bill Grundy and Mick Fleetwood and Samantha Fox doing The Brits.
