Dara O Briain’s Go 8 Bit is based on the smash hit live Edinburgh show and each episode sees two celebrity guests compete to be crowned 8 Bit Champion. The team captains are Steve McNeil, a self-confessed gaming geek, and Sam Pamphilon, a cynical amateur, who both devised and hosted the original show.2016-09-02_1112
