  • Ep 26: Kiri Pritchard-McLean - World's Worst Serial Killer

    Blood! Guts! Carnage! Trivia! Worst Foot Forward is a veritable crime scene this week as we investigate the World's Worst Serial Killer. We've got a crack team on the case led by our guest, comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean of gory sketch group Gein's Family Gift Shop, and host of her own serial killer podcast 'All Killa No Filla'. Among our prime suspects this week are a man who designed his ideal murder palace, a murderer whose secret weapon is a canal system and a serial killer that wasn't a serial killer at all. Plus there's the Yorkshire Ripper's bollocks, the world's most narcissistic murderer and the mysterious murder of West End star Elaine Paige...

  • Ep 25: Christian Talbot - World's Worst Screen Actor

    We settle a debate for the ages this week and line-up a selection of silver screen heavyweights (plus a few bantams) as we debate the worst screen actor of all time. Joined by the excellent comic Christian Talbot we talk about character actors without character, comedians who should've stuck to their day job, why Young Darth Vader would've been a better prequel than the ones George Lucas gave us and what its like to be let down by your heroes time after time. Lights, camera, action...cut! Do it again... Follow us on Twitter: @worstfoot @bazmcstay @benvandervelde @TheTall_Bot @firsttimepod

  • Ep 24: Nat Luurtsema - World's Worst Lodgings

    They say there's no place like home - and in the case of the homes we discuss this week, THANK GOD! We delve into the World's Worst Lodgings with our guest: no less than a BAFTA nominated screenwriter, stand-up, sketch comedian, actor, author - the multi-talented and multi-vowel-possessing Nat Luurtsema. Nat helps us face up to some home truths as we wade through the murky depths of our former university dwellings. We go exploring a poisonous granny-flat, Ben's Edinburgh Festival digs, Barry's showery sex life, Megan Fox's menagerie and a few horrible hermitages.
