Nice Things

In a sizzlingly hot show we mop our brows with Thomas Hardy, the wonder of Dandy Nichols, Judith Durham, Olivia Newton-John and Raymond Briggs, and that most upmarket Malcs the piano tuner plus, of course, Tenko.

We return to discuss the sad passing of the ultimate Nice Thing, Bernard Cribbins and also David Warner and Nichelle Nichols. We also learn that Lord Paul has become a 'firm' fan of the footballing and has never seen Time Bandits.

On the hottest day of the year we decided to record, at Paul's request. What followed was an exercise in heat exhaustion and delirium featuring Gary Lineker, Edward Judd, 1980s snow and Father Ted. Make of this what you will...

This week we discuss the perils of not being versed in 'blokespeak' when it comes to having handymen round, Don Henderson's hairline and the hot weather....conspiracy or cornetto?

In this fun-packed 50th edish we discuss psychotic sanding, the resentment of summer, the genius of Jeremy Brett, Robert Stephens and Michal Bryant, why we crave nice things and look at the moment Australia went colour.

This week - Paul loses a tooth, getting old, One Foot in the Grave, Tripods, Blake’s 7, Secret Army, TV detectives, the verdict on Only Fools and Horses from #PaulsPrejudices, grubby @Daily_Express ‘died penniless’ clickbait, flashmob disdain, pointless vinyl purchases, @PaulCarmichaelV’s verdict on the new Blue Peter plus all the usual rubbish.

This week we wax lyrical about independent bookshops and discuss the current trend toward censorship in the arts, the sad passing of Peter Brook, why minor keys make us sad and 'Beavis and Butthead do the Universe'.

All this and less on Twitter! @NiceThingsShow

After a break we return to chew over class distinctions within thievery, why Carry On England is the antidote to French cinema, Strongarm's solution to the Incel problem and a difference of opinion over Narcos.

Oooh, look at us being on Twitter and all that- @NiceThingsShow

We return to mark an entire year of talking cobblers. Subjects include the lost mandible of Sigmund Freud, axiomatics and a lively discussion on how TV brainwashes the nation concluding with Strongarm's view on 'programming' and, of course, the 'Big Horse'.

We're loitering on Twitter! @NiceThingsShow

More nonsense from 2022! After, another, short break, we return to chew over false teeth, the tendency of stepdads to make men of us, the impending Jubilee, the 'munchies', comedy in The Sweeney and George Formby Senior.
