One Life Left

Definitely the UK's favourite radio show (sort of) about videogames.


Commissioned by London’s award-winning Resonance 104.4 FM in early 2006, One Life Left was only meant to run for six episodes.

Take that, The Man because now, somewhere around one hundred and fifty episodes later, it’s in its seventh season and grown from humbling, terrified, fumbling beginnings into one of the station’s most valued shows.

Take THAT, The Man. Also take that, British radio standards.

One Life Left — s05e03 — #99 — 99 Not Out

It’s been a busy seven days for tawdry, frivolous news, which means it’s up to Ann to raise the bar. Can she do it? No, obviously not, but listen to her try: for the third time in four weeks, it’s ALL NEW! One! Life! Left!

In this week’s show

* Ann gets giggly about celebrity death,

* An official response from the Lego Game Team concerning last week’s proposal,

* And the team introduce themselves for the first. Time. Ever.

Plus new features, old features, reviews, music, and a few minor technical glitches. You might also be able to see some video of us somewhere. I’m unclear on how that works. Hm.

Music on 99:

Suspension by Smiletron
I Breath in Black and White by 4Mat
Beat It (Wavedude Remix) by MJ

    I demand to know where and when the phrase ‘Huzzah’ popped into the vanacular?

    Wikiwikiwahwah used it at the end of his bit in OLL epi 99.
    I was born in 1965 and grew up in the UK watching at least 3 hourse of TV and never once heard the phrase ‘Huzzah’. Not on the Generation game, not on The duchess of Duke street, not on Corrie, not on The A team, not on The Word, not even on Inspector Morse (“Huzzah Lewissssssss” was never uttered by the late Morse).
    Since the Internet kicked in and especially since the last five or six years I’ve been hearing ‘Huzzah’ all over the place. Well, what happened to good old fashioned ‘Hooray’ (as in “hip hip Hoorayyyyyy”). I heard ‘hooray’ all the time then suddenly the whole world switches to Huzzah?

    Where, when, how and why was Hooray un vernacularised and ‘Huzzah’ put in its place?

    The science officer’s log was brilliant again.

    “Huzzah” landed in my lap after falling through a timewarp. A fast bowl from the Gentlemen v Players cricket match of 1865 struck it squarely on the “zz”, sending it hurtling forwards through time.
