Listen Later

“It hasn’t quite fulfilled its promise”. Welcome to the NAMESAKE episode of the podcast along with special Aussie guest and Melbourne’s social darling Dean Arcuri aka “Frock Hudson”! (Our 20th episode and most likely our GAYEST episodes). Great thanks to all our listeners and your darling 5 star reviews. We learn about Dame Edna’s distant relation to Mrs. Slocombe, Australian COVID lockdown excitement, Jeff & Brandon urge all American Unanimous listeners to register to VOTE, a vintage AYBS Clue mashup board game from superfan Ursula (who called our PEACOCK hotline). Brandon nerds out about the Concorde. Mr. Humphrie’s early morning commute as a sailor. What exactly is a stringvestite? Professor Jeff rescues us once again. Superfan Michelle discovers a 1976 John Inman episode of “This Is Your Life” (highly recommended!). As the store opens early to catch customers who dash into Grace Bros in a rush, Mrs. Slocombe utters the famous phrase “Oh, that does suit madame” where the podcast takes its name! Dean is against milky tea (and is unanimous in that). Ingredients of country custard. Gladys requires mouth-to-bell resuscitation. We dream of a cabaret-performing milkman. It’s uncovered that Jeff might secretly work for the Almond Milk Advisory Board. Mrs. Slocombe has vital statistics as “21 years old with long blonde hair with a 40 inch bust”. Young Mr. Grace barely has any bust at all. Jeff finds an accounting error from Grace Brothers’ takings 44 years later. Grainer flabbergasts the final customer of the day. Dean shares what it’s like being a fabulous member of the LGBTQ community in Melbourne and what it was like growing up as a young gay performer. The guys discuss how Mr. Humphries was (and is) an influence. Find Dean Arcuri on Facebook @deanationdeanarcuri and on twitter @FrockHudson and at deanarcuri.com Let us know what you think!
