Don't Slam Your Podcast! A 2point4 Children Podcast

Poor Bill having to hide a fuse wire just so that she can spend a night with the family! And it's far from fun and games as the power goes out, a dog is accidentally picked up on a wire and the roof nearly caves in! New guest Thomas joins J.D. for a chinwag on Family Plot, a very nostalgic 90s episode.

(Warning: Due to technical faults, there is a slight echo, from my microphone, on the recording which I was unable to tone down in the editing. The correct sound will resume next week.)

The Porters are stowaways on the Oriana and they're in Auntie Tina's cabin! Podcast friend David joins J.D. to chat about this fan favourite festive farce from 1996. Plus, Andrew Marshall gives us behind the scenes details about its conception, the challenges of filming on a cruise ship and more!

Frenzy is the first of an exhilarating 2 part finale. Featuring Bill and Rona's surreal cobras encounter, the iconic Blue Brothers performance and culminating with a devastating house fire. Andrew Marshall recollects the talented designers and the effect behind the cobras. Thomas returns to discuss with J.D. what has been voted the most popular 2point4 Children episode ever!

"One careless move today will result in a serious fall."

Later on, Bill, Rona and Aunt Belle are trapped on a window ledge "like a set of paper doilies." Chris returns to discuss Vertigo, another fan favourite, which includes one of the most effective special effects in a sitcom. And, if you have ever wondered how it was achieved, Andrew Marshall explains it all.

It's a rollover week(!) and Ben buys a lottery ticket, despite the chances of winning. We witness an orgy of greed as the Porters argue over how they'd spend the money. So why do Bill and Rona end up wearing Donald Duck masks? All is revealed as Russell returns to chat with J.D. about Greed, the classic "lottery episode" that opens the fifth series.
