Also, there's song and dance numbers.

Ash and Cliff are back in Studio 1 for the Micro Live Christmas Special! The studio is EXTRA flammable today, and that's not just from the brandy bottles hidden around the set, it's also covered in pre-safety code tinsel!
As the episode careens towards its end credits, there's hackers, games, animation, drummers, and Cliff sulking that once again he has got himself all worked up for something that won't happen, and Ash gets to trot out some of his drummer jokes. Truly, this episode is a gift to all... except Cliff.

No Focus this month... Ash & Cliff are still shambling their way through Cybermania, as it lurches its way towards an appropriate climax, and an inappropriate joke.

The first televised awards ceremony for the gaming and interactive media industry, it is as transparently corporate as it is ramshackle, containing missed cues, absent footballs, broken teleprompters, and the occasional AWOL nomination package.

You have been warned.
