  • Classic 4 - Cursed Kleenex Ad and Miss Koi Koi
    Whats it all about? Christmas I mean? Seems to Mr Hot Take (tm) over here that its about consumerism theses days. But what if an advert, rather than making you want to buy something, haunted your dreams, caused nausea and mass hysteria? Well thats what we look at in the first half of the episode. And what else is Christmas about? Well to me, maybe because im working class, its about a sexy ghost teacher beating me up, and luckily we also had that base already covered in series 1 so i've put that in for the second half. Also 'Miss KoiKoi' now has a film on Netflix, once again the media elite are years behind this very podcast, where you get tomorrows news..............today.

  • Classic 3 - Soda Mouse and El Basilisco Chilote
    Here we are, washed up on the misty shores between series. Whats that in the distance? Could it be a lighthouse? You strain your eyes to see but the mists only allow the outline to penetrate. Getting up, and coughing the salty water from your mouth you start to walk towards the shape. Slowly at first but then as the promise of civilisation dawns on you faster, and faster until you are sprinting, your lungs burn and your muscles ache but this feels urgent, as you get closer the mists clear until you finally can see the shadows true form. You fall to your knees and start to cry as you realise what you have seen was not in fact a lighthouse. No. It was a giant bottle of coke with a mouse in it. We also look at at a South American lizard that de-hydrates you.

  • Ilkley Moor Alien - Series Finale

    Well we did it kids, another series completed. We would like to thank our agents, respective entourages, the Arts council and the History 2 channel. For our final episode we take a look at one of Britain's top 10 Alien encounters. Could it be any bigger?! We see phots of a weird little lad 'mongst the heather, do some probe bants, wonder what was on the mystery second movie that the Aliens showed this ex-rozza (police) as well as a clear eyed retrospective of the series that has come to pass.


    Between now and Christmas there will be a couple of the mash-up 'classic' episodes to tide you over and then a mini-series each day from Christmas and New Year, with Series 6 starting 4th of January. We are taking series 6 up to 8% more seriously so hold on to your braces.

  • Metal Man of Falkville
    It here, the penultimate episode of series 5! So gather your chosen family around the pizza oven, stick on the wireless and melt your brains as we talk about the Metal Man of Falkville, the town that birthed Colombo. Its shinny, its fast, it has an antenna but is it flirty? We think maybe it is. A chief of police's life fell apart after this encounter or perhaps his life really began, it depends on how poetic your soul is. Also discussed; having too much blood; Chris having a tickle (flutter ((bet)); assuaging American fears of the Christmas treat 'mince pies'; consumer advice and maybe the acorn of the beginnings of the genesis of a new Christmas hip-hop musical cross-over

  • Dead Calls
    What happens when the dead smash into modern technology? DEAD CALLS. This week we have a look at the surprisingly regular occurrence of people receiving phone calls from the recently dead. Thankfully they dont leave voice mails because that is the worst but nor do they just drop a text, so they are a bit of a pest. And dont get me started on voicenotes! Your time is more important that mine is it? Get to fook. We look at the phenomena and then go through some real life tales. We also chat about Chris' new self help programme to calm his nerves, where Neil is at his most wacky and some other stuff i cant remember because we only just did it. Enjoy!

  • Ninki Nanka
    In this weeks episode we travel metaphorically to the west African country of the Gamba to have a look at the Ninki Nanka, a hard to pin down dragon like lizard, originally called 'the Gambian Loch Ness Monster'. It can be many sizes, has many powers and has been looked for by cryptozoologists quite seriously. There is also some talk about the surprising behaviour of some European tourists from Chris, who actually went on holiday there many moons ago. Also the fascinating story of how Neil and Chris first met (again) (and yes, it is different again)

  • Montauk Monster
    If you go down to the shore today, beware of a sexy surprise? This week we look at internet sensation the Montauk Monster, whose picture caused an internet sensation in the not too distant past. But what was this alluring cryptid? Could it be a mutant created in the near-by secretive animal testing facility? Some kind of new unknown super animal that mother nature is thrusting upont us to blow our minds? Well we will look through the suppositions. Its a tale of unwanted attention, the worlds most unbearable sounding man, a cryptozoologist who claims the whole world celebrate his birthday, gentrification and classic lads waterboarding each other to see who has the best penis.

  • Hannah Cranna
    After all the excitement of Halloween this Thursday here is a nice relaxing pod about a Witch (woman) who wasn't burned at the steak and her witching was pretty tame by anyone's standards, though she could certainly make your bakery slightly less well regarded. Hear the pure terror in the hosts voices as they also discuss the desperate preparations they are making in the final hours before Storm Ciaran sweeps in and changes life in the UK forever. For the worst...probably. Could be better i guess, lets see what happens before making an assessment.

  • Sweeney Todd - HALLOWEEN SPECIAL
    Merry spooky season! Yes its the annual Halloween Special, so be you dressed as a sexy serial killer, a sexy cat or a sexy politician take a break, sip on some pumpkin leen and let your mind drift back to 1700's London and the murky story of The Sweeney the Todd. Popular in drama, stage and screen for 100 years whats the story? Is it real? Well we can definitively say maybe. Whether or not it is, its a horrible story of End End parenting, bad boys, unregulated meat and health and safety. Have a good one!
