  • NT Gold 2- "The Ice Worriers" 11th June 2021

    Having listened to episode 1 we decided to make some changes. Not necessarily good ones. Rather a lot of Who content here, back when we thought we needed a "handle".

  • NT Gold 1- "By Committee" 4th June 2021

    The very first edition of NT from June 2021, in which we had no idea what we were doing or what sort of a show NT was!

    Setting the tone for many future episodes we turn our attention to Television and why it is so crap.

    Looking back from 2025 we probably didn't realise how spoiled we were.
