On today's valedictory episode of This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian give themselves a little treat and watch Crown Court, a programme they both love. They explore the origins of this stupid podcast, whether or not there should be degrees of treason and why they're looking forward to Brexit. The main virtue afforded by Crown Protection is assessed and Ian doesn't believe who is playing the prosecution counsel. If you'd like to watch Crown Court too and see whether or not you believe it, you can find the episodes here: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3.

This is the last episode of this podcast series, but that doesn't mean we're going to leave you alone any time soon. Tomorrow morning we start This is Our Christmas Everest, in which we watch 24 Christmas Specials in 24 days, like an Advent calendar filled with televisual diarrhea. First up, tomorrow, it's Saint & Greavsie. Spoiler alert: it turned out not to be very Christmassy.

Today's bucolic episode of This Is Our Everest sees Edward and Ian watch an episode of Out Of Town. There's some extremely questionable and troubling content about the annual Appleby Horse Fair and then a sheep orgy, all of which leaves at least one of our heroes feeling particularly sullied.

But while Jack Hargreaves queries the sexual morality of the ewe, Ian is more worried about issues of consent and the general propriety of the whole sheep industrial complex. None of this is a problem for Edward, who lives in a make-believe Richard Scarry world and probably thinks the sheep live in houses and bake gingerbread men.

Meanwhile, Jack meets some members of the travelling community and learns nothing, something he is seemingly keen to pass along. Luckily, Ian is on hand to set the record straight. Was Jack Hargreaves' house double glazed? Why was his shed so echoey? And why have we strapped an oil crayon onto Ian's chest with a leather harness? Some or none of these questions will be answered in the next 40 minutes. You can watch the programme here.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian find their most amusing misprints from local newspapers and watch an episode of That's Life from 1986. It's a programme that provokes a number of thoughts and feelings, particularly a quite unprecedented swell of good will towards the British general public in Ian, who had thought such things were long behind him.

Edward has some alternative names for disenfranchised cobblers, we grass up a consumer who ought to know better for aiding and abetting in a criminal offence and are decidedly lukewarm about a sitting Member of Parliament. Have smartphones and Tumblr memes rendered programmes like this one obsolete? Where does it fall in the parabola of Esther Rantzen's era of social dominance? And exactly what percentage more uncomfortable does wearing a seat belt in a car make you? We find out once and for all. You can watch the episode here. 

Tomorrow's episode of This is our Everest sees us go all the way back to the 1870s 1980s with an episode of Out of Town, with Jack Hargreaves. You can watch that here.

In an ironic twist, today's episode of This Is Our Everest (not sponsored by Just Juice) is both the first to feature any basketball at all and also the episode least likely to appeal to basketball fans. However, Edward has a perfectly reasonable defence and Ian has been watching the 1985 NBA finals instead so couldn't care less either way. There's good news for Canada, bad news for Telford and a chiding for Leicester's lack of ambition.

How believable is Tom Cruise as an American Football player? And why has this question even arisen, in a programme ostensibly about basketball in the developing world? Your intrepid sports correspondents do their best to separate the wheat and chaff from the juice. If you'd like to watch the action, you can do so here.

Tomorrow's episode of this this podcast features an episode of That's Life from 1986. Enter at your own peril.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian revisit everyone's favourite trans-European quiz express, Going For Gold. It's increasingly a relic of a forgotten era in UK-EU relations and our heroes try and pick through the finer points of the Maastricht Treaty to figure out why this might be. There's talk of a giant quiz warehouse, Henry Kelly's voting preferences and a suggested way for Dracula to enter the United Kingdom post 2021.

There's up-to-the-minute news of exactly where Finland is and Ian points out once and for all where it all went wrong for the spirit of European togetherness in the British public consciousness. If you'd like to remember the way things were, you can watch the programme here.

Tomorrow's podcast sees us take in the world of sport with Channel Four's basketball coverage, from 1985.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian provide exactly the service the world needs: two more middle-aged white men talking about racism. Yes, it's The Black and White Minstrel show, a truly despicable relic of a past we'd all hoped was firmly behind us, however reluctant it was to leave. Neither of our heroes particularly like the programme but it did give them a chance to properly examine their prejudices and assess a totemic cultural phenomenon that is often cited but rarely actually seen.

Thankfully, they did also find some time to address other hot button topics such as Keith Harris' skill as a ventriloquist, a surefire way to prevent the robot uprising and an honest review of drum brushes. Now, let's never speak of this again. If you want to watch and see what all the fuss was about, and we advise you spare yourself the bother quite frankly, you can do so here.

Tomorrow we're going for something a little more... progressive, in the form of Going For Gold, the pan-European quiz show which hinted at a future of pan continental harmony that never quite arrived.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian watch an episode of the BBC's Tomorrow's World from 1984. Edward is in an especially silly mood for whatever reason but is nevertheless able to provide an update as to the progress of the robot plan to take over the world. Ian, who usually missed most of Tomorrow's World getting ready to watch Top of the Pops, takes one for the team and watches the lot, potentially risking a seizure to do so.

There's also some facts about the historical development of picture resolution for television sets and a perfectly serviceable impression of Jeremy Clarkson. Plus! We find out whether it will be holograms or robots who will conquer us all first. You can find out too by watching along here.

Tomorrow's episode of this podcast sees us trying to come to terms with the last ever episode of The Black & White Minstrel Show. You can watch it through the gaps in your eyes here.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian get into a festive mood to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pebble Mill, by watching Pebble Mill At 10. This is not, as Edward thought, a racy after-hours version of the BBC's venerable lunchtime magazine show but rather a shambling birthday party complete with a car rally, parrots and a really, really old 71-year old woman.

Aided and abetted by two of their favourite Teds - Heath and Bovis - our heroes, now rapidly reaching the point of no return with their stupid project, celebrate the TV and Radio Act 1972 and all its unforeseen consequences, explain the difference between Idi Amin and Donald Trump and bask in the brief but always welcome glow of a pep talk from Clare Rayner. Will the harrier jump jet arrive on time? Whatever happened to the other Everly Brother? And was it a mistake to give the planet Racism access to a teleportation device? Some or all of these questions may be answered. If you'd like to join in the celebrations, you can watch it all unfold here.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian take a jaunty trip back to World War 2, with Wartime Kitchen and Garden. Ian finds it difficult to see the appeal in yet another British thing crowing on about the war and isn't even swayed by a plate of dried apple rings. Indeed, there's even the risk that programmes like this one are going to spoil the war for him entirely.

Nevertheless, some important ground is covered: having already accurately described a pig, Ian learns about pig clubs and busts some common misconceptions about incest. Edward drops some egg science and attempts to find new ways to address toilet paper shortages. All of this, plus biltong, onions and a general reassessment of life in the early 1940s. You can join the experiment here. 

Tomorrow's episode of This is our Everest will be on an episode of Tomorrow's World from 1984.

On today's This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian have been invited to Southern Television's Houseparty, a cursed daytime TV discussion show that leaves one of our heroes absolutely foaming at the mouth. Meanwhile, Ian provides another potted history about an ITV franchise and we assess the right way to lose with grace and step aside with dignity, somehow without mentioning Donald Trump once.

Richard Stilgoe makes an appearance, rattling the keys but doesn't stick around for the party, most of which is taken up by anchovies, sewing machines and corporal punishment. If you'd also like to put in a fleeting appearance at the Houseparty, you can find it here.

Tomorrow's edition of This is our Everest is an episode of Channel Four's Wartime Kitchen & Garden.
