It was one of the first programs to bear witness to the rise of the Commodore Amiga.

Apart from clips in compilations from the period, the only surviving program is the first episode from 15th of June 1994. Generally of good quality in the live studio sections, it suffers from very poor VT sections, possibly due to a gen-locking problem as the appearance is of a colour wash over back and white footage. As the studio wasn't even officially open at this point, the set is almost non-existent, with a couple of monitors being used to show story titles behind the presenters. These seem to have got out of order, with considerable flicking round to get the right story up on screen.
