Welcome to the café where the CRT telly in the corner is always on.

Join Hannah, Pete and guests as we delve into a smorgasbord of British television history. Every episode we pick a new theme and settle into Ray's café to chat about 3 different episodes of CRT-era television programmes.

Whether you've seen these TV shows or not, join us at Ray's and we'll give you plenty of reasons to enjoy more TV. We love nothing more than sharing great/interesting/baffling shows with other people.

Ready to become a regular at Ray's? You'll find us sitting in the corner with a cuppa - new customers always welcome.
