Don't Point That Horror At Me – Details, episodes & analysis

Becky and Jill are feeling sleepy and delving into the world of Sinclair Smith's Dream Date (1993). Katie's bored and a bit boring, and all she wants is to find some excitement at her new school. Plus preferably a cute boyfriend to sweep her off her feet. But what Katie doesn't realise is that dreams really do come true and greasy biker boy Heath is here to turn her life into a nightmare. Will Katie escape Heath's coersive control and find true love with classmate Jason? Will bestie Raquelle ever wear a bad outfit? Will Bopper the aged bassett hound make it out of the book alive? In the second part of this two-part episode, we find out!

Plus nineties film fun with Becky's Box Office.
