Local Radio DJs!
Stuck for a way to fill an hour? Why not pick a copy of 'Now That's What I Call Music' at random, play ten songs from it and ask the listeners to guess the year? I bet no fucker's ever thought of that.

Ooh, hang on, even better; Why not fill the gaps between the songs by reading out news headlines from the year in question? Just pick them from Wikipedia, and make sure you don't read them beforehand to ensure it sounds suitably jarring. "It was the year that police in Hull were on the hunt for a serial rapist, a nurse was found brutally murdered in Dagenham, fifty children died in Britain's worst ever orphanage fire and Black Lace were riding high in the charts with Agadoo. But what was the year?" and so forth.
