  • 128. Merry Quizmas 2023

    Colin & Paul attempt to out Christmas each other with a seasonal themed quiz on movies, TV and music. As Jay tries to retain control as the host who will reign supreme? Will Colin even remember his name, will Paul have spent weeks feverishly researching the answers, and will it all end in one big bun fight? 


    Merry Christmas and a Happy New to our listener(s), our Patreon supporters and all the people who have stepped in to co-host this year when one of us couldn't be bothered (cough - Colin).

    We're using our bionic eyes, but not our barely bionic brains as we take a look at the popular American TV series, The Six Million Dollar Man. Along the way, Colin marvels at Steve Austin's clothing, Paul worries about aging into Sasquatch, and we choose our own Bionic bits and pieces.

  • 126. Oh, You Beast!

    It's time to unleash our animal instincts, but luckily Paul's finally been house trained, so we can take a look at the short-lived, fantasy, crime show, Manimal from 1983. Along the way Colin wonders how police consultants actually work, Paul wonders why he had the annual to a show he didn't see, and we both try to work out the logistics of Manimal's powers, (spoiler, we fail).

    Enjoy!

    Along the way Paul worries about his stains, Colin spends too much time researching glory holes, and they both talk watersheds and red triangles.

    The pipes, they are calling........

Along the way Colin reminiscences about Dusty Bin, Paul reveals his future Vegas act, and they both help the environment by recycling old jokes.

    Along the way, Dave reveals his price, Paul recalls the fun of Video Plus, and they reminisce about ITV local regions. Can it get more explosive than that?
