The sheer beauty of Bad Influence was that it turned out the complete opposite of what they seemed to be going for. Instead of being the edgy, attitudinal yoof show they had obviously envisaged, it was real geeky and heavily factual. But that's what ended up making it so loved among us gamers. We may have aspired to be Dominik Diamond and his ear piercing, but we were Andy Crane and his sideways baseball cap.

Interesting to see everyone's view on this show - especially as I was on the production team for series 2, working out of YTV in Leeds. The remit of the show was more than just talking about video games... we were kind of making Tomorrow's World (a popular BBC science and technology show at the time) but a kids version. Although it hasn't aged very well, Bad Influence! was extremely popular at the time - and it was a lot of fun to work on.

A vivid little clip in my mind of Andy Crane talking about being able to use the bar code from a Mars Bar to create an action in a fighting game or something.

Whether it was by design or just serendipity the show’s presenting team was arguably its greatest strength. Indeed, Violet Berlin’s presenting skills were rather modest but mitigated by a genuine and infectious passion for gaming whilst Andy Crane was the precise opposite, later confirming that Bad Influence was just another presenting gig for him at the time. In other words each complimented the other by bringing to the show what the other lacked. (Even that obviously stage school-trained American kid (edit: ‘Z’ Wright) who did a segment in the U.S. each week wasn’t nearly as irritating as he could’ve been! 🙂)

I remember watching Bad Influence because I felt Games Master had an anti-Sega bias. However, my only memory of actually watching it is a friend and I taking the piss out of Violet Berlin's lisp. By the way, I have to admire your restraint in letting Andy Crane say 'Eat rubber johnny!' pass without comment.

Me and my mum used to mock the lisp too 😂

Christ I remember this show. I found it cringey as fuck back then and I was in primary school. Nam Rood was particularly irritating. I vaguely remember the episode about copying games and how bad it was and watching Violet destroying a floppy disk with a pen after making a copy. If only they knew how bad things would get.... Yo ho, fiddeldy dee.

just discovered your channel, great stuff Stu, you should look into a show called 'Wogans Web' this was a shortlived daytime show where ultra boomer Terry wogan explored the exciting new phenomenon of the internet, this was during a lull in his career and he came across as quite bitter and uninterested in this televisual project. I was a raver back in the day and I remember watching it on a horrible comedown and feeling generally pessimistic about the future and what it may bring. (i'd be amazed if you manage to find footage of this series.

Bad Influence was more informative, Games Master was more entertaining.

I'm surprised you missed out the fact they had the old Goth band Alien Sex Fiend on there promoting the game "Inferno" which they'd done soundtrack for. Unsurprisingly the bands name was abbreviated to "ASF", and they didn't turn up in their full costume/make up. Not one of their better releases either, although I've no idea if the game was any good or not.
