Okay, so Gladiators aired between 1992-2000. Baywatch first aired in the US in 1989, so this post is DEFINITELY about the 1990s. Surprisingly later than I thought!

"Not a computer in sight". The PlayStation is the 5th highest selling games console. This was released in December 1994, and i assume a lot of people got this for Christmas. We are down to 1990-1994.pic.twitter.com/uSZJtNPnhE

Gladiators first aired in 1992! How come I forgot I already said that. We've whittled it down to 1992-1994.pic.twitter.com/9gzXZj4PDy

Gladiators aired 44 episodes between 1992 and 1994. We'll call it 43 episodes though, as that last week coincides with everyone playing their newfangled computer playstation.pic.twitter.com/WbXPOXTp0Z

With this data, there are three blocks of time we can extrapolate 10th Oct - 5th Dec 1992 18th Oct 1993 - 1st Jan 1994 1st Oct 1994 - 24 Dec 1994 Whichever it is, we're looking at 34 possible Saturdays.

Oh! But vandalism was only on school desks! School doesn't happen during Christmas break! Let's say, Christmas break is two weeks. We can knock off five potential days. 10th Oct 92 - 5th Dec 92 18th October 93 - 20th Dec 93 1st Oct 94 - 17th Dec 94pic.twitter.com/LR6wKLYKDx

I really can't continue until I know when Baywatch aired in the UK.

Britain was great on one of the possible days: 10th October 1992 17th October 1992 24th October 1992 18th October 1993 23rd October 1993 1st October 1994 8th October 1994 15th October 1994 22nd October 1994. That's NINE POSSIBLE DAYS.

We still have to add The Baywatch Paradigm to this data. It might not help, but that's where we are at the moment. According to this ridiculous post, Britain was Great on one Saturday in October between 1992 and 1994. Thank you.

If you're confused about why I did the "clocks going back" thing, it's because I was given this info:pic.twitter.com/1iJh9LQb6p

Thank you
@russty_russ. We have found out that Baywatch did NOT air during the 1992 dates. Britain was great on one of the possible days: 18th October 1993 23rd October 1993 1st October 1994 8th October 1994 15th October 1994 22nd October 1994. That's SIX POSSIBLE DAYS.Prikaži ovu nit -
Baywatch did, however, air on the same nights as some Blind Date/Gladiator repeats... BUT ONLY UNTIL 9TH OCTOBER 1993. 2nd October 1993 9th October 1993 1st October 1994 8th October 1994 15th October 1994 22nd October 1994. That's still SIX POSSIBLE DAYS.pic.twitter.com/gGhesTIIGz

So that means that we have whittled it down to FOUR DATES. 2nd October 1993 9th October 1993 15th October 1994 22nd October 1994. Four possible days.

I am happy to confirm the results. This stupid nostalgic Facebook post is talking about four possible Saturdays in the 1990s. 2nd October 1993, 9th October 1993, 15th October 1994 or 22nd October 1994. I will not be taking any further questions.pic.twitter.com/OJQTA53E88

UPDATE! Thank you
@DaveJessop. We can rule out the 22nd October. Our dates are now: 2nd October 1993 9th October 1993 15th October 1993pic.twitter.com/v0jg1WfiTH

And many people have pointed out that "recording the top 40 off the radio" happened on a Sunday, so we can at LEAST narrow this down to one weekend in the '90s.

UPDATE: For those saying "computers were around earlier!". Fair enough. But Baywatch, Blind Date and Gladiators being on at the same time wasn't. The computer thing isn't as important. Not *everyone* had computers in their house at that time! It doesn't affect this in any way.
