Jon Harvey has spent his life finding hidden gems in the world of low-budget films, archaic computer games and lesser-known comic book heroes, which he generously shares in this show. They're the impetus behind another story in his life (the audience are asked not to spoil the big reveal) and the second part of the show details his mind-blowing adventure. We can't say anything more - you'll have to unearth this gem on your own.
