The scene is set as the world’s largest portable TV set glides
into position. Brian, Retro TV’s trusty studio floor manager
and award winning tea-boy, sets to work. Brian will enlist the
help of audience members to become make-up artists, sound
engineers and camera operators for the duration of the show.
Using Retro TV’s very own high-tech sound system, Brian whips
the crowd into a frenzy as he introduces Keith Cool, the star
presenter of Retro TV. With the help of a cast of thousands
(you can dream!) and a huge remote control, Keith
astonishingly recreates key events from the last 2000 years.
With the audience choosing the channels, you never know
what might come up next! The result is a colourful, comic
and sometimes factual show, which aims to entertain people
of all ages.
