Get Fresh was a bit like Ghost Train, and like it was shown on Saturday mornings. It was a kids' TV show from the late-80s, broadcast from a spaceship-come-dustbin 'Millennium Dustbin' and hosted by a curious green, snotty monster called Gilbert, who once said: 'If music be the food of love, put that piano in batter!". His side-kick was an even more curiously-named Gaz Top (a human) and Charlotte Hindle.

I remember watching Prefab Sprout performing King of Rock and Roll. Bliss. Of course, Saturday mornings being a highly competitive slot for kids TV meant Get Fresh was extinguished after a while to make way for the likes of SMTV and such.

    Gilbert the Alien, who once said: "I've just had a horrible thought! A dead zebra!" Genius.
