The show reviewed new releases of movies, games, and videos, and was originally voiced by Steve Priestley in an offscreen role.
Local broadcasters were sent scripts and given the option to re-voice programme content if required.
Movies, Games and Videos was not networked per se (not broadcast in a rigid timeslot on a specific day), but was shown in all regions to begin with.
Some continued to broadcast it on a Saturday afternoon, whilst others began airing it in a 17:10 weekday slot, after CITV.
Though initially successful, the show was gradually dropped by most regions and by Spring 1998, only Anglia, Central HTV, Grampian Television, Meridian, Scottish Television, UTV and Westcountry were broadcasting the series until August 2001.
