Maniacs,

Thanks for listening!

Peter Jones! 

At the top of the episode, Sarah reveals that Bunny from "Faithful unto Death" was the Book voice for Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I found a great video of him playing the book -  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1B9Y6qzHy4

Neil Conrich / PC angel

PC Angel appears in 7 episodes! See if you can spot him. 

Help us find this man!

We are trying to find this actor. He plays Ronald Stokes but there is no credit listing for him. We would very much like to interview him. 

Thanks again for listening and next week "Strangler's Woods".

Maniacs,

Thanks for listening!

Young May Cuttle

Sarah mentioned that the actress who played May Cuttle,  Judy Cornwell was beautiful in her younger years so I found a picture.

A young Judy Cornwell

How Old Was Tim?

I was wondering how old the actor who played Tim, Daniel Hart, was when the episode was filmed but was unable to. Anyone know how old Daniel Hart is?

Guy Gamelin in Campion

We mentioned that Miles anderson, who plays Guy Gamlin was in Campion. The episode was "Mystery Mile" and he played Anthony Datchett an itinerant palmist!

What a Mustache!

Why does Troy have on a wedding ring?

We still have not figured this out. Any help?

Maniacs,

As always, thanks for listening! The fact that you all take the time to spend part of your lives listening to our voices means so much to us. 

Restoration Man

Restoration Man is a home improvement show on Channel 4 in the UK. It is hosted by George Clarke who helps people restore listed buildings. It is in its seventh season and we love it. Allan Hollingsworth definitely needed him.

Dr Feelgood

Dr. Feelgood is a pub bank that began in England in the 1970's which had a couple of hit singles. Definitely not the music that plays from the CD player in the episode. Check out their video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvjQpPEjP8E

Is Arnold in Midsomer?

Just sayin'...

Culley's Play

Does anyone know  what play Culley is in. We could not find it anywhere. 

X-Files Poster

I also could not find the X-Files poster that is in Troy's room. I think it might even be Spanish. Anyone else find it?

Bergerac vs Magnum P.I.

Turns out Magnum P.I. aired before Bergerac, so Bergerac is the UK Magnum P.I..

Thanks again for listening and next week "Death In Disguise". Please remember your robes and sacred necklaces!

Bye Maniacs!

Maniacs,

Thanks for listening!

Accountant Camshaft

Here's a picture of the camshaft in Esslyn's office. 

There is a Donkey Sanctuary and it is located in Sidmouth, UK. They have a website full of pictures of donkeys and they do take donations. https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk

Troy's Wife 

Who do you think should have played Troy's wife?

Stop!

In the episode I say "Stop or I'll say stop again." which is a joke I make about British police because they have no guns. Turns out, I stole it from Robin Williams - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNBG5lgh6Nw

Sequin Jockstraps on Paddington 

Please send any pictures of Paddington in sequin jockstrap to [email protected] or  our twitter feed. 

Do you use Vim, Ajax or Comet?

Finally, do you use Vim, Ajax or Comet for cake poisoning  or bathtub scrubbing needs?

Thanks again for listening and next week "Faithful Unto Death".

Maniacs,

Thanks for listening!

Aptly Named Pub

Since there is no Aptly Named Pub in the episode, send us your ideas. 

Gerald's Caliber

Gerald clearly says in the episode a 35mm caliber bullet, this is clearly a mistake. A 35MM caliber bullet is used with huge naval gun ships. A .35 caliber bullet is a popular caliber for a Remington revolver which i assume Gerald means.  

XKCD Greenland cartoon - https://xkcd.com/1451/. 

If anyone knows what school was used for Causton Comprehensive I'd love to know and see pictures.

The name of Brian Clapper's play according to the subtitles is Slangwhang for Five Mute Voices. What the heck is a Slangwhang? A slangwhanger is a loud, abusive speaker or an obnoxiously offensive writer. That might be the reason for the title. 

Who do you think does the best Dead Body Acting in this episode?

Thanks again for listening and next week "Death of a Hollow Man".
