History YMMV / KYTV

* RetroactiveRecognition: Joan Patterson from "Get Away with You" is played by Creator/RosalindKnight, who would later be best known for playing Beryl Merit in ''Series/GimmeGimmeGimme'' and Horrible Grandma in ''Series/FridayNightDinner''.

* TheCastShowoff: Angus Deayton studied German and it shows in his fluent delivery of German in episodes like ''Good Morning Calais''.

** Certain names and titles had them; most notably the resident daredevil, "The oh-so-daring Mike Hunt" or debate programs with the title "Mass Debate." These were always pronounced ''very carefully.'' Played with in the "mass debate", wherein Mike Channel quickly notices the accidental innuendo and tries to avoid it - but unfortunately for him, he's stuck with the pre-recorded jingles.

** The constantly-giggling "Uncle" Mike Stand was the undisputed master of these, which led to (deliberate by the writers) UnfortunateImplications, since he was a child show host. This was probably the in-universe reason why he was PutOnABus in later seasons.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Repeatedly. Every single episode of ''Radio Active,'' and quite a few episodes of ''KYTV,'' had at least one, often two, pre-recorded songs written by Phillip Pope and recorded by the cast, parodying various popular artists, genres or songs. One of them, ''Meaningless Songs In Very High Voices'' by "The Hee Bee Gee Bees" (parody of Music/TheBeeGees) even became a minor hit.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: Mainly due to the adverts (a lot of which are parodies of then-current advertising campaigns) and the musical pastiches. Oddly enough, the rest of the show is much ''less'' dated than one would expect; in general, even if they're ostensibly mocking something specific, the parody still works in a more generic sense - for example, "Gigantaquiz" is a parody of a briefly-popular and now-forgotten game show called ''Ultra Quiz'', but it still works as a send-up of big set-piece game shows generally. Likewise, their parody of ''Did You See?'' can be enjoyed as a send-up of arts discussion shows; ''The Flu Special'' which mocked the "AIDS: Don't Die of Ignorance" campaign, still works as a parody of public health campaigns generally, and so on.

* TheWoobie: Martin Brown, most definitely. Mike Channel too has moments of this, but is more of a JerkassWoobie.

seasons.
* GrowingTheBeard: ''Radio Active'' took until the second season to find its form; the first season is amusing enough but does not quite have the form and tone of the later seasons (the presenters are largely interchangeable and personality-less, and the focus is less on their incompetence and more on parodies and eccentric guests), but by the second season the show has found its niche.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Some of the central characters were altered a bit in the transition from ''Radio Active'' to ''KYTV,'' mostly because of how the actors didn't always look the part they'd been playing. Mike Channel, for one, is repeatedly mentioned as old and over he hills in ''Radio Active,'' but in ''KYTV'' he's roughly the same age as the rest of the cast. Likewise, the radio version of Anna Daptor is hinted to be fat, but the on-screen version is quite slim and pretty.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Martin Brown. He doesn't show up until the fourth season of ''Radio Active'' and seems intended as a one-off character (as the episode ends with him being fired), but he returned after a couple of episodes and became the most popular of the recurring characters.
