Episode 90 is out now. Tom booked Transformers as a PG. The screen said 12A. His son immediately spotted a potential loophole for Spider-Man. Plus Pringles, a movie quiz and cars that think they know better. Would you have complained? thevarietyshow.co.uk/episode/s4e90

Episode 90 lands tomorrow. A Transformers trip sparks age-rating chaos, Fallout Pringles get a blunt verdict, and Rob wants SIX-HOUR Lord of the Rings films. Plus a movie quiz with baffling reviews. Can you beat him to the answers? thevarietyshow.co.uk

Ok @cineworld.bsky.social , which is it? Website says 12a but app says PG. Odeon also says 12 but BBFC says PG (but no 2026 version). Your staff insisted it was definitely a PG and they don’t know why it shows a 12A at the beginning. #Transformers

So episode 88 saw a controversial choice by Rob. He picked to keep ‘A Little Bit of Luck’ instead of ‘Children’. People are voting and not many people agree! Vote now!! thevarietyshow.co.uk/episode/s4e8...

Excellent night of joyous japes with @cheapshow.bsky.social and co for a fantabulous 500th.🤘🤘 @thevarietyshow.channel84.co.uk and @untitledscifishow.bsky.social did a brilliant job of pulling the stream together & everyone on stage was delightful/dead/blackmailed; gold stars all 'round 🍻
The stream chat's view of the cheap show stage from the upper balcony, with Eli looking somewhat crucified between Paul and Ash, no context needed, its fine.
