  • Fast food. A show about food that is fast. Takeaways, quizzes, and some bloke who has a strange habit of blending/liquidising cheap meals. Fast food's first episode was a complete disaster, and the only interesting thing was apparently Chris Young's choice of clothing. For some unknown reason, people insisted on watching it.

  • GD set.
    • A glowing pulsating monstrous set, requiring over 400 foot of jigsawing. The GD set is wheeled out almost every year now.
