Bits was a British television entertainment programme that was broadcast on Channel 4 between 1999 and 2001, with both late night and edited morning versions of the show.
Five series were produced and uniquely at the time for a show about computer games, had an all female presentation team.
There were also a number of special episodes, notably a three parter titled the 'Bits Super Console Special' which primarily featured the girls playing 1v1 against various "pro" gamers around the UK in each episode, as well as their usual sketches and short reviews/newsclips. The games chosen were usually new releases on various consoles, one of which was Fantavision on the Playstation where Emily Booth was defeated by Alek Hayes, who was employed at the time at BarrysWorld.
