Fucking LOVED art attack. Also I wish the rumour that Banksy and Neil Buchanan were the same guy.

Nah, I’m glad it’s not him. Banksy’s stuff always came across as a bit pretentious, whereas Neil’s stuff seems more fun

Oh my god, just after posting it has now hit me that the name is a pun on “heart attack”. What a life.

Before Art Attack and on the rival channel was Tony Hart and Heartbeat. Possibly a bit of an in-joke too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hartbeat

Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?
