What's All This Then with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson

He wishes he was Camilla's WHAT? Is what Princess Di might have said when she heard about Tampongate. (If you're saying the same thing, don't worry: We do a dramatic reading of the whole thing.) We're joined by writer and comedian Grace Freud to discuss our beloved Princess Diana, and I think we do a really good job of being funny about a bunch of stuff that is honestly so sad and fucked up. Plus, did fish and chips taste of ink when they were wrapped in newspaper?

I hate your stupid cheesecake you bloody berk! Is what you might say if you were on an episode of Come Dine With Me. We're joined by Boonta Vista's Ben McLeay to discuss a very British television show where pissed-off people throw dinner parties, resent each other, and then look through someone's underwear drawer on national television. Plus, do British people really not rinse the soap off their damn plates?

YummmMMMmmm! Is what I'd say if I liked Marmite and I was eating some, but I DON'T and I'm NOT and you can't make me. We're joined by John Hodgman, the writer, comedian, podcaster, and internationally beloved New Englander, to discuss one of Britain's most polarizing brown pastes. What is it made of? Why does it taste like that? Do people only like it or hate it, or is it sometimes just sort of 'fine? Plus, some very violent football that only happens on Shrove Tuesday (we do explain what Shrove Tuesday is too, so don't fret). Your lucky ass can WATCH this episode for FREE on YouTube too!

OOOOOLONG! Is what the alien noise from this weird-ass album sounds like to me, but I don't think that's right. It is a good type of tea though. We're joined by writer and very smart person Eva Anderson to talk about something very stupid: A weird concept album from the '70s, by an American, that for some reason is huge in the UK and thus has an extremely popular 'immersive experience' in London. Plus, That Time When British trains had talking toilets and they were voiced by Will Ferrell.

ALLONS-Y! Is just one of the adorkable and hilarious things that our favourite Doctor says. We’re kicking off Febwhoary with our Third Bird Demi Lardner, host of bigsofttitty.png and So You Wanna Win A Penis Pump? If your appetite is whetted—much like our PANTS when we think about DAVID TENNANT—for more Doctor Who content, sign up for the Patreon now to hear the rest of our Febwhoary episodes! Featuring Tom Walker, Branson Reese, Sam Nicoresti and Gareth Reynolds, unless any of them get sent back in time to live out their days by the Weeping Angels before then.

Hear ye, hear ye! Is apparently not something that Lord Mayors say but I really thought it was. Maybe I was thinking of town criers but now I'm not even sure if they say that there. I'm mostly thinking of Homer in that one Simpsons episode, I guess. Our friend Mattie Lubchansky is back to discuss Fraudulent Fred Ferkel, Christmas crackers, and crazy-ass roundabouts before we learn what a Lord Mayor does. Plus, Real or Fake: Lord Mayor's Show edition.

GREASE ME UP! Is what I'd say if someone offered me a full English breakfast, and then I guess they'd be like "huh?" and I'd have to explain it's a Simpsons quote and yes I would quite like a full English breakfast, which is traditionally quite greasy. Today we're joined by certified cool guy Steve Sladkowski of PUP to discuss what he called, and I am just quoting here, "one of [Britain's] great contributions to world cuisine." Perhaps damning with faint praise, but nevertheless! Plus, the (anti-)piss flaps of Fleet Street, and another Tesco Reviews game.

Eh-oh! Is how those stupid idiot Teletubbies think you say "hello." Our wonderful friend Stefan Heck, host of Blocked Party and the Go Off Kings, returns to talk smoothies, Christmas crackers, and bettering ourselves, before we figure out what the deal with the Teletubbies was. Most importantly: Was Tinky Winky GAY? Plus, another vital edition of Sausage Watch, and we work on our pitch for a gritty reboot of the Teletubbies.

Long have I yearned for this episode's release... Is what you'd say about this episode if you were Tolkien, but alive and a fan of the show. Libby tried ever so hard and mostly failed to hide how excited she was to have Bill Corbett, from Rifftrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000, on the show, to talk to us about Lord of the Rings! Plus, we made him look at some really horrible, dirty sausages, and talked about the best MST3k episodes filmed in the UK. Drop your favourite quotes from The Projected Man in the comments.

A BONUS episode on the MAIN feed? Can they do that? We're too busy letting the Christmas pudding settle and muttering "I suppose I'LL do this then" while picking up all the wrapping paper to record a new episode this week. Instead, have one of our best Finest episodes from behind the paywall: A history of Charlotte's BBC show Chartjackers, where she tried to get a song to the top of the charts using only the mystical new power of something called "You Tube." If you liked this episode, think about how many MORE episodes you can unlock by signing up for our Patreon! Prices increase for new members on January 1st, so act now. We'll be back next week with new episodes of the show!
