Format

The first series of Play it Again Des saw Des Cahill in conversation with three special sporting guests. Each of these special guests would highlight their own favourite sporting memory. A clip from archive footage would then be played. For the second series the number of special guests was reduced to two. The first show of the second series, however, saw Eamon Dunphy being interviewed by himself. The last episode of the second series featured no special guests. Instead the public were allowed to vote for their favourite sporting memory. The third and final series followed the same format of the Dunphy programme from the first show of the second series. Now, one special guest highlighted particular moments from their own careers.

gollark: The common thing now is to have web applications be programs which serve HTTP themselves, but it used to be the case (still is with PHP as far as I know) that your webapp would be a bunch of files run through stuff like (Fast)CGI.
gollark: Generally, web applications are programmed in things like Python, JavaScript, Ruby and (alas) PHP.
gollark: You could run the thing on the same server as your Minecraft server, but you can't host a webserver from ingame.
gollark: If you had a web backend for it, you could easily enough have other servers run their own webservers.
