    Unknown British Video Games TV Show 90s…

    Good day!
    Back in 1995-1997 (I think), I used to watch an English Video Games TV show that would last around 30mins (Or less) and it was voiced by an English girl with a beautiful voice and nice humor.
    It was not Gamesmaster, as it was not presented by any people live on camera, only voiced as she presented the games and consoles, accompanied with nice background music. I mainly remember reviews of the SEGA Saturn, PSX, Panasonic 3DO, SNES & Mega Drive and their games.
    At the end of one episode, I remember her saying… “Well this is a girl that’s done her job for today, see you next time”

    If anyone could name the show and point me to some links on Youtube preferably, I would highly appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance

    Ok, I found it!
    It was Cybernet

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVnQo4RmaYQ

    I see that it aired from 1995 all the way up to 2010! Wow!

    I was in love with that girl's voice, Lucy Longhurst! I wanted to marry her!

    Yup, CYBERNET.
    Voiced by Lucy Longhurst.
    Yes, towards 2010, it used to air on ITV last at night ( 3 am I think ) and was the last show aired.

    While we're on the subject of old Video game programmes, what was the one that was hosted by Violet Berlin, probably on Bravo, in the early 2000s?

    I know exactly the one you mean but can't remember the name of it nor of the one she was on CBBC with Andy Crane (I think).

    The terrestrial one she was in was "Bad Unfluence!", and Wikipedia says it was Gamepad on Bravo, between 2000 and 2004, but I think she was in something else cos I didn't have Bravo at that time, I didn't get it until about 2005-6

    Ahhh, Violet Berlin. She was awesome. Bad Influence was a really good show for its time.

    Just had a closer look at that picture and noticed it's running xcopy which I remember well from making "backups" of rented games... Later found out that Workbench's backup facility worked much better.

    Oh yeah, I remember that. Micro Machines Turbo Tournament '96. Me and my brother used to play this a ton when we were younger.
