Cast your mind back to the 1970s: do you remember immortal motorbikes-in- mud series Kick Start? Or Children of the Stones, a kids' sci-fi drama in which a village falls prey to the power of a neolithic stone circle? If so, you'll be on a wavelength with Nick Frost and Simon Pegg as they trip though the shows that make their ideal viewing. Frost and Pegg (whose own gems include Spaced - two episodes of which follow this) are sharp and wacky company, despite their habit of giggling over in-jokes. And it's great to be reminded of classics like Kick Start. Surely there's a place in today's schedules for rally bikes charging down vertical cliffs of mud and revving over Volkswagen Beetles as if they were speed bumps? Other delights include Animal Magic, the terrifying Davros from Doctor Who and the even more terrifying Dick Emery.

Pegg and Frost are quality, although I still haven't seen Hot Fuzz!
