This week is all about Trainspotting. We look into the origins of the 1996 film, discussing the works of Irvine Welsh, and what we're hoping for from the much anticipated follow up released this year.

 

Plus our Thimble of Win, where Chani sews people together, Cav colours in a man in a vest, and Mike looks forward to a confused looking Australian hitting people with metal claws.
