Emily Booth was my crush and she went on to present Out There and starred in many low budget vampire movies. I really enjoyed their crazy antics and how they just didn't care what they said, and as the article said it was an all female show which was very different for the time. Loved the series and didn't miss an episode. Great memories.

Always something to proper look forward to on late night t.v. back in those days/ nights. <br />Cybernet at 3am (ish) on ITV and Bits on channel 4 at roundabout midnight made for must see viewing not to mention all the other great stuff that was on at the time also.<br />Bits was more talking heads and adding to the presenters portfolios than showing the punters wall to wall videogame footage, but it worked, unlike the recent Videogame nation, that really did suck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-61878965131816308352015-12-31T01:15:52.994+00:002015-12-31T01:15:52.994+00:00The original fan made DVDs of series 4 and 5 of Bi...The original fan made DVDs of series 4 and 5 of Bits are still available from the guy that made them:<br />http://binaryzone.org/retrostore/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8<br /><br />and his website of the 'Bits Grab Fest' is still online:<br />http://www.emilybooth.co.uk/bits/Dave Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08393993634734378228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-60584915990904440472015-03-27T00:02:39.595+00:002015-03-27T00:02:39.595+00:00I loved this show back in the day!

I remember searching for it a few years ago and finding a result - I think it was linked to from an old Emily Booth fan site - for a couple of series on DVD. Haven't been able to find anything since though so maybe was a false positive? Does anyone know where I can get full episodes or seasons, other than the paltry and disparate offerings on YouTube?<br /><br />I am aware the Internet Archive has season 4 available but sadly none of the others.<br /><br />Anyone got any info/links etc?DaveyTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894957115222899573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901944301852919470.post-18859677974886605482013-11-25T16:25:15.862+00:002013-11-25T16:25:15.862+00:00I remember being in Borders in Buchanan Street, Gl...I remember being in Borders in Buchanan Street, Glasgow about the time of the first series when I overheard Claudia asking one of the staff whether they had any books on public speaking or acting in general. She explained that she was just starting on this new TV show and she wanted to develop her skills further not having had much previous experience. Sadly they never gave the poor girl a chance in the end; she was booted off the next series to make way for the far more photogenic Emily Booth.Confused Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10916133623247121868noreply@blogger.com
