June 01, 2026 Episode 563 - Count Duckula
In the heart of Transylvania, in the vampire hall of fame, yeah? There's not a vampire zanier than Duckula. It's a show we said we'd never cover, but does it live up to its nostalgic reputation?

April 20, 2026 Episode 557 - The Krankies Klub
The Krankies were a comedy act about a naughty schoolboy played by a tiny woman and a man who may or may not be the schoolboy's father despite also being the tiny woman's husband. It's all perfectly fine, don't worry about it.

April 06, 2026 Episode 555 - Vintage Action Figure Adverts: The Real Ghostbusters
The Real Ghostbusters was the perfect toy line for those 3am drawing board ideas nobody else wanted. A binman who turned into a fly? Sure! An old lady with a hidden crocodilian jaw? Why not? If there's something strange in your neighbourhood, it's probably a toy from GHOSTBUSTERS!
