January 2006 The site has been off the Internet for a while. The opportunity is taken to re-launch the site and so begins work on constructing a brand new look site, with more content and background information.

Some time back in 2000 The original version of this web site was built. Soon, thanks to the very kind cooperation and input from those involved in Bad Influence! at Yorkshire Television, the site rapidly expanded to become the definitive guide to the show.
