The Impossible Job is simply the greatest ever documentary about football (excluding Danny Baker’s Own Goals and Gaffs 2). A behind the scenes look at England’s failure to qualify for the 1994 World Cup it is heartbreaking, poignant and packed to the brim with Carlton Palmer. This week we sat down with comedian Tom Craine (writer of Josh and the excellent new BBC3 series Climaxed) to discuss what it was like to rewatch it 23 years on. Hosted on Acast.

Chapter 1: Sweeper! By Steve Bruce

Chapter 3 of the 3rd Bruce book (possibly our favourite) on the QK Fan Club - making sure we complete the trilogy, so to celebrate that.. we're dropping the first few chapters from the first book onto the main feed for the first time ever.
And of course, we'll be back in a few weeks for our final series (crying emoji).
And surprise! It's our second Chapter in a week: Chapter 4.
Things heat up over at Leddersford Town as Steve's agent rolls into town and a press conference about Duffy's killing leads to a revelation and yet another classic Brucian cliff-hanger... 
Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Striker! By Steve Bruce

With the end of Quickly Kevin in May, we thought we might see if you might enjoy this 'best of' selection from Chris' other podcast with QK alumni Elis James and Tom Craine called 'Oh What A Time..'
Each week the trio delve into the rich tapestry of history to discuss things like "which famous historical character would you like to snog?", "would it be fun to observe the Beatles if you were stuck as a coffee table?" as well as attempting to dissect why custard simply isn't bigger than it is?
A different subject is tackled every Monday and Tuesday (last week was Love, this week Discoveries) assisted by an ACTUAL HISTORIAN and essentially we try to figure out if the past was awful (turns out that yes, it was).
There are new episodes every week, to give it a try, subscribe here: https://podfollow.com/oh-what-a-time
