Club X was a Flarlandian television program broadcast by Channel Ten from 1989 to 1992 and then moved to FBC 3 in 1992, where it stayed on air until 1995. It was the very first show ever to be produced by Couch Slave Entertainment.

Premise[edit | edit source]

Early on in 1989, Channel Ten had experienced a massive financial loss upon expanding its signal to a nationwide level. Massive financial woes and the dependence on cheap imported programming were among the causes.

In the middle of 1989, Khyber Waterman and a team of four people form the nascent Couch Slave Entertainment submitted an idea for a local show: low-budget, quirky television, to fill the last half-hour of the Friday night schedule before closing down.

The first episode of Club X was broadcast in September 1989 at 00:40. The program was conceived as it was, a "dream tapestry" of various unconnected sketches interspersed by various host segments. It attracted limited viewing figures. A few editions into its existence, it added another recurring segment: B Flickerage, in which footage from low-budget films was overdubbed with awful narration.

Format[edit | edit source]

Initially, Club X ran for half an hour. Following unexpected success in 1991, Club X becane an hour-long show The reason why it moved to the FBC was because Channel Ten hated the new format.
