February 17, 2020 Episode 252 - Knight Rider
It's our fifth anniversary, so we go on a shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man... who does not exist. And we don't mean Takeshi's Castle (sorry Richard).

Take a ride with us in everyone's favourite talking car with a teacher's voice, as we watch Knight Rider.

Take a deep breath and smell that fresh Welsh air.

"Pshhh-ti-cuff, pshhh-ti-cuff, pshhh-ti-cuff!"

No wait, I'm choking on coal fumes. It's Ivor the Engine.

January 13, 2020 Episode 247 - A Handful Of Songs
Two weirdos solicit drawings from children and sing songs about them, whilst nightmarish and occasionally racist imagery lurks in the background. Yet somehow, fans of this show think Chris Packham is the bad guy...?

January 06, 2020 Episode 246 - Archer's Goon
We recorded this episode ages ago and had second thoughts about releasing it. But we've had a break over Christmas, and we're never going to watch Archer's Goon again. So here's Archer's Goon. Archer's the guy who sent the goon, right?

It's been 30 years since this Tomorrow's World quiz, so we should know all the answers about the gadgets they're talking about, right? Nope, we're too busy taking our jetpacks to work and flying our hoverboards into clocktowers.
