In Episode 3 Susie takes us from the cosy sitcoms of 1986 to the moral minefield of teen drama in 1994, before landing us back to 1990, and guides us from the safety of Saved by the Bell to Dale Cooper's trip into the Black Lodge.
Susie and Niall take a side each of the pond as they explore US and UK TV across the 80s and 90s, and try to place 1990 in the arc of change.
How did Cheers become Frasier? How did Stavros give birth to The Fast Show? How hot was Jerry Seinfeld? And who the fuck was Stretchy McGillicuddy?
Most importantly, how did Twin Peaks change television forever?
