Don't Lets Chart - Comedy. History. Stupidity.

Why is Dr Seuss no help with chatting up a partner?

When is Racist Cluedo too racist?

Who spent all their money on "trains and Michaela Strachans"?

What's the real ending to "Stand By Me"?

Which presenter is planning to become dead from robot sex?

As ever, we'll dive into all of the above nonsense in the new episode of "Dont Lets Chart", a comedy and history podcast by the hugely unqualified Ben Baker and Phil Catterall. Also in this cavalcade of trivia nonsense we'll learn why a 10 day week was amazing a poor idea, which of us looks most like a Sesame Street monster, how Walt Disney was a rotten bastard, what the best board game wasnt, why Cummingtonite isnt a request, who was snaffling some Jesus off a window ledge, what Dr Livingstone could've alternatively heard out of Henry Morton Stanley's mouth, if Star Wars would've been better ending Ben's way, what not to say on Tinder, how the Garbage Pail Kids made a movie and a lot more besides.

We can only do this with your help so thank you to everyone who supports us on Patreon and tells their friends about us. We're still slowly rebuilding our listener numbers and every bit of word of mouth helps us hugely. Thank you.

And, more than anything, please remember: Turdidae.

And its a strange, heady mix of swearing, Community college, Beatles Band, Star Wars, Crazy Frog's bulbous blur, Pratchett and Gaiman vs science, popcorn, Dead Parrots and of course, Alans. Plus quite a few surprises! And cameos from our friends Lisa and Andrew from Round The Archives and Paul Abbott from Hark! and the all new Head Ballet podcast!

We've taken the bin box time machine back to 1987 again for the second and final part of our entirely listener-voted chart.

Along the way, we pump up the volume, drown some Pound Puppie s, chart the rise of Jonathan Ross, make Phil listen to Big Black for the first time, fail to get over how great Withnail and I is in the edit, chase away Mike Read and his new jingles, enjoy some wind, Ben reveals his biggest musical fantasy, Wax get lyrical, there's a New Years visit with Predator, Phil bangs on about The Living Daylights, we wince at the continuing relevance of The New Statesman, admire Keith Houchen's header, guide a stupid child through a chroma key dungeon, tune into Network 7, say oo-er something a bit rude and, most controversially, Phil ranks the 1987 Doctor Who season. Plus, what made it to the top of your 1987 list!

Well, "Don't Lets Chart" might be gone for now but over on Patreon we've just begun our Summer Roadshow touring around the country...minus the actually leaving the house and going anywhere aspect. In every all new hour-long show, there's the usual mix of charts, daftness and trivia, plus some the best and strangest sounds you'll hear all year. Its available exclusively on Patreon for less than the price of a Twix per show but here's a small preview clip from episode one in which Ben and Phil discuss Scunthorpe's biggest news stories and argue over who is the most Northern.
Like what you hear? Please consider supporting us. We know times are hard and extraordinarily weird but if you can spare around £2.50 a month, the money means we can continue making and producing new programmes. For these six new shows plus access to our entire Nights spin off and extras, visit us here: https://www.patreon.com/dontletschart

Your favourite facts 'n' fannying about podcast returns with an all star tribute to six decades of Phil Catterall (aged 39). There are messages from his friends - also Ben is there. Plus Phil's top 20 things of all time ever (that arent giant fighting robots) including some nifty 90s shootouts, which comedy act he went to see instead of revising for his GCSEs, best Bonds, the best foot that can be barely considered a food, Greendale pride, perhaps the most stupid quiz yet and lots more. And because its a 40th celebration, the episode is a slightly longer almost 40 minutes in length. Happy all our birthdays!
